When did hacker news become laggard-adopter/consumer-news. Cal is a consumer of AI - interesting article for this community, but not this community. I thought hacker news was for b…

We’re a regular old SaaS company that has figured out how to add massive value using AI. I am making no statements about valuations and bubbles. I’m actually guessing there is some…

I have no idea if OpenAI’s valuation is reasonable. All I’m saying is I’m convinced the demand is there, even without AGI around the corner. You do not need AGI to transform countl…

Hard disagree. You don’t need AGI to transform countless workflows within companies, current LLMs can do it. A lot of the current investments are to help with the demand with curre…

Agreed.

Confused here, is your argument here that OpenAI is not responsible for any innovation when it comes to LLM tech today? I’m curious about why you so strongly want to believe that? …

The money and compute is not the innovation. The LLM models and associated tools are, which is work by OpenAI employees and teams, not Microsoft employees/teams.

I think this perspective is probably only true for 0.001% of people that actually follow Sam closely and are not optimistic about AGI and like to throw their opinions around. The s…

Why? It’s not firewalled.

1. “The heat death of the universe” is my favorite HN comment of the decade. 2. The heat death of the universe does not mean one gigantic black hole. I’m just a hobbyist but my und…

Curious what model the dentist bot is running on? Tried it out, was surprisingly good, though eventually it contradicted itself (booked a slot it said previously was not available)…

Completely disagree. You’re not making a phone call in most cases for entertainment purposes. If the options are wait in line for 20 minutes or speak to an actually useful bot, I w…

I think standard units are more common even if proportions. Not sure who speaks in bananas.

Have to consider cost for all of this. Big value of RAG already even given the size of GPT-4’a largest context size is it decreases cost very significantly.

Not entirely sure I believe everything here. Curious how it plays out. Lot of narrative-affirming content. “In the Examiner article, O’Reilly made reference to a “scam bot [that] h…

Not sure if you’re technical but the only thing I have to say to this is: Tinker with it yourself. Try different experiments. I’ve built a ton of tools at this point with AI, some …

1. We know they have more big breakthroughs already that have not been released. 2. We know the current tech can keep scaling. They have not hit a limit with the current approach y…

I am guessing an incredibly talented team that is incredibly networked and incredibly well funded and proven agile in the tech hub of the world can find hardware experts. Don’t kno…

Said the horse factory when automobiles were being built.

I agree some of these are fluff. However many here are great to have basic knowledge of for specific scenarios one may run into and then know where to dig deeper when needed. Agree…

It’s very likely this person doesn’t care about the credentials but rather just wants to gain the knowledge to do something themselves. I more or less did this for years by reading…

Said people before nearly every discovery in physics led to new technology.

2 questions: 1. How does this perspective affect you today? Is it debilitating? Depressing? Affect your wellbeing and productivity? 2. What do you believe is the probability of wha…

And encourage innovation it does. Most initiatives are not purely good without any downsides. A principle to consider is: Just because there are some negative aspects sometimes, do…

Not public but internally I wrote a tool to help us respond to RFPs. You pass in a question from a new RFP and it outputs surprisingly great answers most of the time. Is writing 75…
