Reminds me of the System of a Down - Legend of Zelda song that was popular around Limewire, etc Years later it was uncovered that it was never System of a Down, but one Joe Pleiman https://kotaku.com/no-system-of-a-down-did-

AllenAI is also one to keep your eye on. Founded by Paul Allen of Microsoft, they are one of the best teams working towards truly transparent / open AI (including training data)

It's less of a bet against him. It's more of a bet for the future of humanity. And contrary to what Elon believes about himself, his work has been toxic for humanity for the last 5 years and is getting worse.

This is literally what happened with DMCA and digital trade agreements in the 90s/2000s. The US "suggested" other countries create their own equal laws (by threatening them with tariffs if they didn't). The threats worke

It is the abrupt cancellation of such enormous funds and projects that caused the most damage. If DOGE / Trump had taken his 4 years to "slowly" cancel, far fewer people would have died. (though still far too many)

How the hell does Anthropic continue to make such hypocritical complaints without deeply cringing? It's becoming embarrassing to watch

I work in IT, part of which is AI training - so I see how widespread these tools are. But surveys have shown there is a stark difference in how many people use it and how many people trust it. In Australia, 4% of people say they trust AI co

Glad to hear you're also enjoying it! Just for anyone else reading, I would say it is inaccurate to say it is a different front-end over Google. They pull from a range of search engines, but also run their own web crawlers and indices.

I also work in music production (for video games) and fully switched to Linux + FOSS about a year ago. I'd say it is a lot more doable if you make electronic styles of music. Harder if you make classical styles, as many of the big samp

I've been using Kagi for the last year, and it is like an actually helpful business partner. Even if you use another one, we need to break the myth that Google is the only option out there.

Allen AI do not get enough love. They are doing GenAI how it should have always been done. In fact, if the frontier companies had taken their approach, it would have started much slower, but I think we would be far more advanced by 2035. In

Even if Dario and Altman originally believed what they were saying, their scaretactics worked wonders for investment. Their companies are now incredibly incentivized to keep the AI Apocalypse narrative going further and further. It is hard

I do think the last 100 years' assumption of "it's physical material or it doesn't exist" should not be so easily accepted as fact. It's like saying love, or nation states, or music doesn't exist. These th

If I understand this correctly, Anthropic's argument is now "yes this will blow up some of your infrastructure, but it will be worth it" The problem is that no one has been able to prove that it is actually worth the cost. Th

This is the same argument I hear about too-fast AI rollouts. "If we don't adopt AI, then we will lose to the business that does." It is so obvious how competition dynamics naturally ends up as a fight to the bottom, and yet s

This is likely more to do with data security than feature set. M365 Copilot is the only provider that offers some level of confidence that data will stay within tenancy bounds. For a lot of businesses outside of the US, using other cloud m

I wonder if Ezra is aware of the "open" model scene, i.e. HuggingFace, etc This seems a bit like he's calling for something many people are already working very hard towards.

I am praying for valuation to reflect real value. But the US stock market of the last 4 years has shown it is grounded in hype far more than real value..

One of the funny parts about all of this, is that janitors are likely less threatened by GenAI than information workers are. Hell, janitors' work is less threatened by GenAI than most of the CEOs who are super-hyped about that very sam
