To help blind drivers, no. To help AI, yes.

Even the smaller subreddits on niche topics seem to be dying. I suppose the lost good will (and loss of third party mod tools, or course) caused many of the superusers to leave.

I’m confused. The post equates him with Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is very much in the history books. They’re not saying Elon won’t be in the history books. I only see one comment here disagreeing.

Illustrators. Actors. Animators. Writers. Editors. Directors. Let’s make art impossible to sell so we can get back to proper starving, errr… I mean… making art as a form of expression rather than commerce.

Haha yeah, those bots are garbage. But the Figure 2 bots are already testing in BMW plants. And Elon won’t even have to threaten Open AI with regulation to get new tech. He can prolly just take from Boston Dynamics military contracts.

NOAA goes to The Weather Company?

All the companies are gonna merge over the next decade or so, leaving a handful of megacorporations to lord over our cyberpunk dystopia. It’s just easier if all their logos already look the same.

I think it’s more likely a compound sigmoid (don’t Google that). LLMs are composed of distinct technologies working together. As we’ve reached the inflection point of the scaling for one, we’ve pivoted implementations to get back on track. Notably, context windows are no longer an issue. But the most recent pivot came just this week, allowing for a huge jump in performance. There are more promising stepping stones coming into view. Is the exponential curve just a series of sigmoids stacked too close together? In any case, the article’s correct - just adding more compute to the same exact implementation hasn’t enabled scaling exponentially.

I think you’re giving people way too much credit, both citizens and representatives. “Did Joe Biden drop out” as a search term spiked in the US on election day.

Oh. I guess they could take the sky from me.

There used to be very real hardware reasons that upload had much lower bandwidth. I have no idea if there still are.

People don’t see, we imagine. Mommy Fortuna’s gotta put a fake horn on a real unicorn.

Premium Lite is hilarious branding. “Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite”

I just don’t have unrealistic expectations for my candidates. Dems can’t magic away the effects of climate change. Nor can they “fix” capitalism. Dissapointment in the truth doesn’t justify voting for comforting lies.

The Democrats funnel literally hundreds of billions of dollars to things like student loan relief, school lunches, and safety net infrastructure in general. The Republicans actively prevent hundreds of billions more that would have been spent to help the lower and middle class, sabotage any hope for universal Healthcare, and actively sabotage things we all rely on (USPS, PBS, the pandemic response program a year before covid). And the voters have the audacity to blame the Dems for not fixing everything. It’s a joke.

I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before this foggy photo, but that thing sure is cyberpunk dystopian, huh?

Vote for hate. Get no love.
