Guys let’s not pretend that him being taller and more stereotypically handsome would’ve hurt his “achievements”. It would’ve of course helped. The fact that height and stereotypica…

Exactly. The issue is them being automatically in favor, that’s a really extreme measure I as an eu citizen did not know about, even though I’d say I’m probably more informed then …

Exactly. That’s the only real core issue. Wild AI usage is just a consequence. Developers who have a nice job and career, and are making good money, might think of doing open sourc…

What knowledge or skills do you have to be hating on the certification process for airplanes? It’s just getting ridiculous at this point. There are plenty of industries regulated a…

There would be real risks yeah. This is not something to joke about, its real.

Let’s be real, as an EU citizen I have zero doubts that those models would also have been blocked if developed in EU. I like the US approach better: regulate when the need for it a…

Code duplication differs from single source of truth applied to data in the sense that data is data but two pieces of code may functionally be the same (they do the same thing) but…

Exactly. People have just been told that there are some grifters in the field and they're unable to make the mental effort to not lump the entire field together. Oh and the fact th…

I'm sorry to tell you this, but he hasn't been part of this administration for a while. And also i'm not quite sure you have his views on NASA funding (one of his main customers) r…

Science, or more specific to what we're talking about, public research which happens mostly in universities, has turned political long before this administration. That's the simple…

As an Italian, I feel the exact same. This guy just doesn't know how to seriously talk about imperialism, globalization and over-tourism from a geopolitical and economic prospectiv…

Not at all. Getting really pedantic, tokenization is also a form of encoding, so it doesn't matter the modality you're using, you'll end up doing some type of encoding in some way.…

Well... $1 a day is not that far from that hypothetical $50 a month though. Especially if it gives you access to significantly more powerful models (which it does). EDIT: i still f…
