Cheers

it's an opportunity to be the company that owns all the cars and rents them out to everybody on a per minute basis. Don't need to pay human drivers and because they can communicate and flock you can fit more on the road.

why do we have an ambulatory facebook post as a president

this is like a tiktok npc stream as a tweet

as a poe2 enjoyer this doesn't affect me until 2035 when poe3 is in early access and it is like poe2 with perfect blocking but you can only do it in the middle of the combo.

i think qc is one of those things that will just simmer in the background for like 200 years

self driving cars dont really work without ai.. the chat gpt stuff is all llms, which is a specific kind of ai for natural language processing. i wouldnt be surprised if they have some of that in there though. Transformers (which are how llms are made) have turned out to be a pretty powerful architecture for neural networks

Yea agreed about self driving cars. It’s taking a lot longer than people anticipated 10-15 years ago but Waymo has been making steady progress and expanding

i think we should probably separate in our minds a ban from like an organization telling its employees not to use a thing. ChatGPT is “banned” at my workplace but I am able to use local LLMs because they dont want me sending shit to OpenAI. If the navy has a halfway good security posture it should have some list of sanctioned LLMs people are allowed to use because who knows what some random company is doing with what you send to their API.

this article is not very good in other words

Maybe. I suppose it depends on if Intel is able to get their shit together because they bought all of ASML's high NA EUV machines manufactured in 2024.

this fuckin guy announces a $100bn package to build datacenters for ai and turns around 3 days later to slap a 100% tariff on the only company in the world that can supply those chips. They must have stuck elon in the basement and trump forgot about the tech industry or something.

inflicting grave wounds on the us economy to root out woke research

don't use it to "augment your abilities" (if you could identify the augmentation, you'd already have the ability

I actually disagree with this take. I can work fine without LLMs, I've done it for a long time, but in my job i encounter tasks that are not production facing nor do they need the rigor of a robust software development lifecycle such as making the occasional demo or doing some legacy system benchmarking. These tasks are usually not very difficult to do but the require me writing python code or whatever (i'm more of a c++ goblin) so I just have whatever the LLM of the day is to write up some python functions for me and i paste them into my script that i build up and it works pretty well. I could sit there and search about for the right python syntax to filter a list or i can let the LLM do it because it'll probably get it right and if it's wrong it's close enough that I can repair it.

Anyway these things are another (decadently power hungry) tool in the toolbag. I think it's probably like a low double digit productivity boost for certain tasks I have, so nothing really as revolutionary as the claims are being made about it, but I'm also not about to go write a code generator to hack together some python i'm never going to touch again.

wow so you're telling me that the country putting out most of the research papers on ai has completely surprised us by releasing a pretty good and cheap model. this is exactly like sputnik.

yeah tsmc is part of the gpu supply chain so its not surprising theyre being hit if asml is being hit.

not much probably unless your job is combing through datasets to remove CSAM.

oh is this just hitting GPU manufacturing (NVIDIA, ASML) and companies that were named in Trump's AI thing? lol. Google being down 1-2% is a normal day.

short term? maybe. long term? probably not. These models still need to run on GPUs even if they're cheaper to run. This could induce demand for more GPUs.

Seems like it impacted NVIDIA, ASML and MSFT but Google and Meta don't seem impacted.

i wonder if someone could basically take marxist theory and change the terminology around and have people actually get into it. I read this article that I think was from antiwork earlier and the author basically reinvented the idea of surplus value but called it something like "privatization of progress". They're reaching for it but man their brains are so fucking broken from years of anticommunist education and cold war and anti-china propaganda.
