Nothing can justify that price. They’re just charging that because they think they can.

Where’s the >== operator? Because they also have the exact same problem.

I can only talk about software developers, but there it’s fucking pants on head to fire developers. It only makes sense if you don’t have any competitors.

More than 50% of software projects fail either because they run over time or over budgetl, but for obvious reason both. So you get this tool that increase your output, let’s say 10x. Does that mean that you can fire 9/10 developers? What does your competitors do? If they retain their developers they can smoke your company in months.

Yeah, what he’s saying is completely unreasonable on its face. Data centers have an average utilization of 12-15% according to IBM, and there’s 500 billion USDs of unused GPUs in warehouses.

However most people don’t fucking know that. Sam “I fucked my sister” Altman shouldn’t get a voice at all.

Guy who allegedly sexually assaulted his sister says something profoundly stupid.

Every business laptop I’ve had the last 10 years or so has had a touch screen and it’s pointless. The only times I click anything is when I try to adjust the screen.

Yeah, the fact that so much of the language is conventions as well doesn’t help. The type hinting is fairly poor as well, but then again type hinting is basically admitting that dynamic typing is a mistake (which it is).

Despite combat being better and more polished in Andromeda than it was in the trilogy Mass Effect, Andromeda felt like a fan-fiction adaptation of Mass Effect. It did not feel like it was made by the same people. I feel like tying that game into Mass Effect was a mistake.

Yeah, Python as a language is a mess IMO. We used it for making a electrical simulator and the language is…bad. The variable scoping, lack of explicit variable declaration, backwards comprehension syntax, the VERY CONFUSING object orientation design, that classes aren’t serializable by default, package story and deployment… It really has very little going for it, and combine all that with the awful performance characteristics it’s just…no.

Today I’m “Rust if it fits, if not Rust then C#”. We re-wrote the simulator in C# and performance was 70x better and the code got shorter, the deployment was hell of a lot easier since we went AOT and it just builds a native binary for the target platform. No virtual environment crap.

What angers me is that people are buying into the AI shit that the companies are peddlings. These aren’t sentient machines with a will of their own or even any mechanism to do anything on their own. These shit-heels are taking a text generator, trained on doing all sorts of shit, and piping its results into a bash-shell. If you just don’t do that they can’t do any of the damage they did in OpenAI’s case. They try to make it look like they’re figuratively breaking out of a cage or jail. That’s not what’s happening.

They’re given every tool they need and then they add clumsy and inefficient filters on the output text they’re writing. It’s negligent incompetence.

But they do this for a reason. They want legislation to stop what they’re doing. OpenAI specifically does not have an avenue currently where they end up making money, so they want everyone to stop training new models so that they can focus on making a positive cash flow rather than competing.

People need to stop eating the bullshit these companies are shovelling. Yes, if you write an application that breaks into the pentagon you’re looking at jailtime. If you host a LLM that does the same thing it’s the exact same issue. If it did break in then you weren’t paying attention (i.e. being negligent). It’s not a complicated problem.

Spotify now has ads on Premium when listening to podcasts. It’s infuriating and frankly insulting. Podcasts are cheap as dirt to make compared to music.

I think I’ll cancel Spotify.

Well, given that they have the tools, and leave them with little to no oversight. The OpenAI-HuggingFace issue was negligent incompetence and not AI brilliance. They left it to their own devices with no oversight and just let them cook for a week or so, and lo and behold, they hallucinated and subsequently committed a crime.

Yeah, it’s so fucking stupid. It’s software that continues text, and they frame it like its some sort of Skynet shit.

The hardware is not there yet for what’s required for proper AI, and even then the idea that it would kill everyone is silly fearmongering based on science fiction more than anything else.

What does a pause mean? I would think probably stop AI investments in some regard, so I would absolutely think it’s about hindering competition.

What the fuck. Is this real?

The tech industry is an oligopoly. Microsoft, Nvidia and Google control everything. Nvidia has an actual monopoly.

Russia can end the war they started today by conceding the loss, give territory back to Ukraine, and let Putin accidentally fall out of a window.

I think he’s implying that there’s semen everywhere.

Lite was made for Manifest V3. They had to drop a bunch of features to get it functioning which is why it’s called “Lite”.

Just get another masterlock and smash them together.
