Does this make sense with economics of software though? Throwaway products compete with more durable versions of the same product because there is a cost per unit produced that can…

I’m with you on that.

Do investors still not care about revenue and profits at a $300 billion valuation? Seems like the bigger problem for them is that they are losing money on the vast majority of thos…

I bet my entire Beanie Baby stash that your NFT stash won't be worth anything by the time you're ready to judge this bet.

The enshitification cycle is moving fast these days.

Yep. This example basically convinced me that they were unable to figure out anything actually useful to do with the model's new capabilities. Which makes me wonder how capable the…

What exactly does he get from people linking to a video of him being crude. He's real estate CEO not a social media influencer. He might get a thrill out of being a public asshole,…

How dare you profane the contributions of a literal god of AI!

Not according to climate scientists. As explained here, mostly believe the warming stop shortly after emissions do: https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-st... …

It's weird seeing comments like this that argue simultaneously: 1) LLMs aren't stochastic parrots anymore! 2) You can't prove humans aren't stochastic parrots! It pretty clear the …

Not really an open market when one company has as large a share of sales as steam. Valve may have a different ethos from Apple, but both agree on principle of extracting monopoly r…

So fun much scrolling past all the blue check morons at the top of all the replies to any popular post. No changes at all.

I’m skeptical. There is a lot wiggle room in “no specific training”. Could just mean the didn’t fine tune the model for any of tests. Their training data probably included many pas…

Yes such useful and constructive new ways organize Ponzi schemes. Andreessen is a member of the laptop class himself, just one of the most grating ones. Seems to think telling othe…

Excited a future where a bullshit generator helps automate the rationalization of redlining! So great! Just like this website and community around.

Depends on how that labor is valued. Just because a project creates jobs with export value in country doesn’t mean that project is a net benefit for the people of that country. A p…

Hmm? No equating happening in my comment. The point was that just because statement is about a political group doesn't mean it's a only an opinion. Mentioning Nazi Germany is just …

What makes it an opinion? If I were to say that the Nazi party in Germany peddled in hatred and demonization of already-marginalized groups would you say that is an opinion? Just b…

You do that John Galt.

Yes the HN cogniscenti have such a fine sense of humor. Why share some of it lads? Nah man, jokes are forbidden on HN.

Definitely seems like more of reddit comment than a HN one. I had a laugh though so thanks and here's to more laughs until dang shows up and takes all the fun out of HN for umpteen…

Buying stock back is apocalypse prep?

I strongly disagree. I would quite happy to invest a venture like if I was confident it would help us make a transition to renewable energy faster, even if the ROI was significantl…

The could have chosen to work on smaller models and used their already substantial amount of funding to be truly open. Instead they chose a path that demonstrates the Open part in …

You can use it to infill subregions. Or you could add a “but “ to your and run again. It’s not super robust to prompts involving complicated composition though so that might not be…
