I cancelled my Facebook account and all other active meta properties. Looking back, it feels like escaping some kind of abusive relationship. Complete the the urgent pleas to come …

It's really crazy to me they can just be down for hours and can't recover their own systems. It shows they don't have the capability or infrastructure to roll back disastrous chang…

I regularly rotate my "subscriptions" credit card number. It's much easier to cancel everything this way (then fight through cancellation flows for each one) and then only add back…

Where can you actually get access to these models that isn't an outright scam? All the sites that promised to have Seedance 2 turned out to be scams. Does anyone know how to actual…

Maybe LLMs will be the final nail in the coffin for putting every little ounce of every little article behind an annoying paywall. A world model that ingests data in real-time from…

All of the examples besides the first one that is itself underwhelming are behind a paywall. For all we know it could be pre-recorded. Hard pass.

Instead of a PIN that wipes the device, it would be much better to setup a special PIN that logs the user into a sanitized, completely separate profile with generated content of no…

You are free to learn whatever you want to. I'm saying I would greatly prefer talking to an AI model that was trained by an expert or the guy who created it, or trained via an RL e…

This same argument could be applied to anything. Layers of abstraction exist for a reason, because at a certain point, we can only deal with so many things at once. We have to be a…

They can try to do whatever they want to do. They can ban Huggingface. It just means we will get our models from torrents, or have someone from China ship us an SD card with the we…

AI menus and signage are quickly becoming the dog whistle for "cheap". It's telling you what kind of quality and service you should expect in the rest of their product or service. …

Months? Most terrible founders and CEOs I've worked for set the company back years, and most of the time significantly damaged it to the point of no return for everyone involved. T…

Tiktok Shop needs to be next. They openly allow sellers to advertise 1 TB SD cards for $15 each, and many more scams just like it. When you report any of the listings, you get an a…

Except if you use open models, on your own hardware. 90% of the open models are good enough. You sound just like the assembly programmers did back when C++ (and later, untyped lang…

Very bold of you to think we aren’t already past the point where “what’s valuable” is only human created. Maybe some truly exceptional people can create works that are exceptional …

People here need to stop complaining about the train, and get on board. It's easier than ever before to build a network that can later be used for distribution and monetization. Do…

I read this as it's pretty easy to dox anyone just by reporting their plate number as stolen to the police, or even a partial plate number would do.

Here, drop all your data into this vortex -- we need it for our next web site builder AI model.

They are moving most of their development to India, where it's pretty easy to find bottom-dollar UE5 dev shops.

Another crime was committed in the native scrollbar replacement.

I wouldn't want to get into a medical scanner built by an AI image generation company! Marketed as a spa treatment. There are so many things that can go wrong and the unseriousness…

It isn't a matter of technology. It's physics and math. These things are already very well understood, just not by investors. And that creates room for the hustle.

Every few years one of these ultrasound companies comes around and promising to revolutionize medical imaging and nothing ever comes of it. Anyone remember https://www.openwater.he…

Outflows into AI. I wouldn’t be shocked if it goes down to $20k soon.

Hopefully they will work on response time. I've been noticing it taking 5+ minutes for each turn, for not complicated requests. Seems to vary based on time of day too.
