Might have been an “I need to look into this” segueing into “ never mind”?

They can’t even stop people typing “can” when they mean “can’t”. :P

I think it’s interesting that usually we think of reproduction as being about increasing population, and senescence as being an unfortunate limitation of biology, what you could view both as aspects of the same error correction mechanism.

This is why the world model approach is so important. It allows you to feed back the prediction accuracy of the model to itself at training time, enabling it to predict (to some degree) its own uncertainty. If you jump through a couple of h

Don’t their consumer GPUs run at 85C core temp? Maybe not for as long though.

Creativity can be thought of as a combination of two things: A random idea generator, and a nonsense filter. Generate new random results ideas, filter out the nonsense ones, and you’ve generated good ideas.

They need to get the guy he punched to punch someone, just to be sure. ...Or is it punches all the way down? :D

I would have expected a lot more focus on privacy from something designed to regularly and casually create detailed 3D images of humans. The word 'privacy' doesn't even appear in the text.

> R&D costs are hurting profit That’s quite the hot take, considering it’s literally an R&D company that got to where it is by doing R&D.

Sounds ripe for block-level deduplication. :D Or an API that lets you request a model and handles caching.

There was a whole bit in one of the Asimov stories about a politician who’s accused of being a robot. He denies it, but he’s very well behaved to the point where he’s never been recorded to break the three laws. In the end he has to punch s

No idea, this was in the early 90s so we're talking very low resolution pics. I imagine they'd been sneakernetted around school yards for months on floppies after someone found their parent's stash and managed to yoink a copy

It’s much more effort to verify that code is correct than it is to produce it. This is the case even for human-written code, and now that we face a torrent of ok-looking probably-usable AI generated code, the problem is compounded infinitel

I’m so torn between naked admiration for the sheer Machiavellian audacity of this play, and discomfort with how vulnerable everyone is to this kind of creative abuse.

People without guns kill a lot fewer people than people with guns. Claiming that acknowledging this fact means you’ve been “driven mad by propaganda” is dumb.

AGI will either remove that need, or build its own factory to supply better phones cheaper than we could.

You might be conflating throughput with latency. 100k tok/s is very different to 1 tok/10us.

I’ve wondered for years if this is what’s happening. They saw the mad scramble and hype bubble when gpt3 was released, and decided to sit it out until LLM tech was a bit more mature and commoditised. Huge call if so, given that missing the

They’re multimodal LLMs trained for image generation. Turns out that if you want to generate images you gotta know what things look like.
