It’s unfortunate, but if you’re blaming the people in the thread for this, I think you’re directing your energy in the wrong direction. Focus on the people who foment and benefit from this division and distraction instead. If you want peopl

Maybe we’re just bored of the doublethink? It doesn’t take a hive mind to feel that.

The flip side I don’t see mentioned very often is that having a product where you know how the code works becomes its own competitive advantage. Better reliability, faster fixes and iteration, deeper and broader capabilities that allow you

In many ways I agree with you, but you have to acknowledge that things change when the _benefits_ of going forwards are funnelled to fewer and fewer people. That is what colors people’s view of what is happening in the way you are seeing.

It means whatever you want it to mean. That’s why it’s primarily used by people who don’t know how to articulate their thoughts. If you think you know what woke means, you’re wrong by definition.

A lot of people hate seeing the EU succeed at anything, simply because they are envious or it does not validate their world view.

That’s a lot of words to tell everyone you don’t know what an “externality” is.

People who think reform are anti establishment genuinely fascinate me.

This is obviously made easier when your opposition doesn’t stockpile their weapons in, nor conduct their military operations from, schools and hopsitals.

> And while having kids may be warping my present judgement, it hasn't overwritten my memory. I remember perfectly well what life was like before. It's funny that he actually believes this.

Naming things is your primary contribution to AI so well done for deliberating on it. I disagree with the outcome though. Autotune would have been much more fitting.

Whatever happened to that key is a key part of his origin story, that I’m sure will be revealed in due course.

I do enjoy you being offline. There’s nothing selfish about having different preferences to you. Selfish would be forcing those preferences on you. That you assumed one was the other is a good reason to reflect.

Nobody is holding you hostage. Sounds like you need the timeout more than anyone. And the assumption that this view was drawn from nostalgia is completely invalid.

I found the article confusing. Its premise seems to be that alternative methods to deep learning “work”, and only faded out due to other factors, yet keeps referencing scenarios in which they demonstrably failed to “work”. Such as: > In

They said, without any justification at all, merely reinforcing my own point.

Why are threads on this topic (and its adjacents) always full of Americans blaming Israel for their own country’s actions? Is it a coping mechanism to not accept any moral accountability? Israel is minuscule in every way compared to the US.

Given how little most of us can know about the true cost of inference for these providers (and thus the financial sustainability of their services), this is an interesting signal. Not sure how to interpret it, but it doesn’t feel like it bo
