AIUC (AI Underwriting Company) is the only thing I've heard of: https://aiuc.com/ They're new. We'll see if it works out. (Just did a quick search and there are some other new entr…

Please consider taking a break from your use of LLMs. You are clearly deep in the throes of AI psychosis and need to talk to people you trust in your life instead of the chatbots.

What about your CEO actively spending their time pursuing their own creative interests and doing speaking gigs railing against AI? And posting them on the company YT and his own YT…

Saying that would be a much more reasonable layoff announcement. "Shit is good. But not that good. If we don't change course now, things may be less than good." If that's what they…

Also I feel like people are not noticing in Tao's chat that chatGPT fairly often is doing web searches. So it literally is acting as search engine sometimes, and that too is incred…

Interesting. I prefer video/audio for the same reason. But I watch most things on 1.5x or 1.8x speed. I'm not a particularly fast reader, so I prefer audio/video forms. Totally agr…

So should I ditch ollama for this?

Sincere question: have any non-Chinese models failed this one?

You telling me your kids don't want a bowling alley?

For just desktop, I use Handy (open source): https://handy.computer/ And yea, Nvidia's Parakeet v3 is good enough for my own just local transcription most of the time. When I need …

You do know people aren't talking about fictional people being generated right? Actual, real-life, identifiable children. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/16/lawsuit…

For me, it was the fact that grok was a CSAM spewing faucet for weeks. And also the mecha-hitler thing. And also that one time it was weirdly aggrandizing Elon. I implement AI appl…

But this isn't a thread about ice cream...? It's about SoTA emerging technologies that pretty much everyone agrees is going to have consequential effects on society. When people sa…

Yea but people invite actual humans into their homes who have names, faces, reputations, relationships, and some degree of social accountability. If I hire someone to come into my …

Yea, the "doom trolling" seems to be starting to reach its limit. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/opinion/ai-dangerous-open...

Hm, I just keep a folder called something like `status_docs/` in any project I work on and I create a new file in that folder any day I'm working on a project that's dated (e.g. `p…

"Dangerous" is a loaded term. But yes, even "soundwaves" can cause harm, same way use of pharmacological medical interventions can cause harm. Dosage, application methods, side eff…

Yup, precisely. Turns out getting AI to be reliable at doing useful things is harder than we've all been led to believe by the dominant narratives. https://www.normaltech.ai/p/new-…

> Lets redefine work into discovering the world again. Let people do old handcraft jobs, let them do more sports, let them read more, let them write and make more. Let them enjoy n…

> I certainly don’t think individual cells have any subjective experience or sense of agency. There's definitely research and scholarship that would beg to disagree with you there.…

> something like the universal approximation theory comes to mind, transformer architecture clearly has the shape of a universal algorithm approximator That says nothing about emul…

I'm hearing different from PhDs. The bottleneck with much research isn't "trying out ideas" so much as it's all the bureaucratic minutiae, grants, mentoring PhD candidates, collabo…

I call it "I'm not like other girls" writing.

> 4.8 is also 2x more expensive for a "modest" performance bump. How refreshing. Where are you seeing it's 2x more expensive? https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/prici…
