LLMs are famously bad at math. It's one of the prototypical examples of problems they can't solve. Yet it's the prime example presented here. So I am curious, is Gates suggesting that we will overcome the fundamental issues h

If it spurs on the movement to create legislation controlling how likenesses are used in AI models, Sam Altman has done himself a great disservice here.

it's hard not to forsee a future where entire wars are fought by sending millions of drones at each other. I can't decide if it's a dystopian nightmare or a much better thing than having humans slaughter each other. It's

The problem is, it's really really hard to guarantee that. Yes if they only train say, classifiers, then the only thing that can leak is the classification outcome. But these things can be super subtle. Even a classifier could leak thi

It's kind of baffling and fascinating at the same time : a company with an infinite dump truck of money launches a once in a generation new kind of product and .... forgets to fund even basic content for it? Even their first party cont

This eternal discussion gets rehashed over and over again. It's great that you like it. It wouldn't be an issue if it was optional. Then the people who like it could have it and the people who don't could go somewhere else an

So much of the talk about their "free server" seems to be trying to distract from the fact that they are not releasing the model. I feel like it's an important threshold moment if this gets accepted into scientific use withou

I'm most interested in what this means for the next Vision device. Half the power budget could well translate to a very significant improvement in heat on the device, battery size and other benefits. Could they even dispense with the p

I wonder if, as a thought experiment, someone could create an App store with a completely transparent self-signing mechanism that allowed you to install apps yourself (but only to your device). If so, one would think that unless Apple gets

It's telling that they are even going after iPadOS. Really messages to Apple strongly that they have no hope of dodging this on iOS if even a relatively niche product by comparison is also qualifying them for gatekeeper status.

Meta isn't even trying to get anything on Vision OS at all, I'm sure they have no interest or care about that until and unless it becomes a mass market product. They don't want to be locked out of freedom to do what they want

They hit $1b in revenue on their store last quarter. I'm not sure how you evaluate that but it's something more than "not biting" I think.

Nobody's tried anything like the broad scale pitch Meta is making here. Everyone else has tackled the high end or specialized use cases. Meta's really the only company that's tried to make a true OS play that is meant to be a

I think you really have to understand Zuckerberg's "origin story" to understand why he is doing this. He created a thing called Facebook that was wildly successful. Built it with his own two hands. We all know this. But wha

To be fair, this is part of the reason it is so valuable. Meta has access to absolutely stupendous amounts of private training data. If you forced them to make the data available you would have to settle for a tiny training set by compariso

They just said laws, not privacy - the EU has introduced the "world's first comprehensive AI law". Even if it doesn't stop release of these models, it might be enough that the lawyers need extra time to review and sign o
