Agree. They are effectively arguing that AI will be God-like. I don't mean here God in the religiously charged sense but in the philosophical sense. A god is simply a person or thi…

Went to a museum in Seattle. Can't remember the name of it. They explained that the salmon were so abundant in the Pacific Northwest during the early frontier period that they woul…

How do you know? I feel that it's just poorly edited. In my experience, AI is easier to read than this was.

Why wouldn't the hyperscalers run these open models since they're much better than OpenAI and Anthropic at operating compute at scale? I think the reason OpenAI and Anthropic stay …

When the voice models start rambling, I think of C-3PO. When Uncle Owen told 3PO to shut up and 3PO said, "Shutting up, sir." Or even some scenes where Data did something similar. …

Ok. This is the most interesting man in the world. Literally.

Is this inflation adjusted?

IBM's contributions to computing hardware and software are incalculable. So many breakthroughs in hard drives, chips, transistor density, and other aspects of computing have come o…

Just redo Slack already. :-) I know this is much easier said than done. And my comment is partly tongue-in-cheek. But Slack isn't great. It isn't loved. I don't understand why Slac…

Crossing my fingers that this boom jumpstarts 90's like improvements in computing hardware. I feel like part of the reason for the relative stagnation in hardware over the last twe…

What type of task are you running for ten hours? Is this a programming task? I've not come across a programming task that would take an LLM ten hours.

Intelligence is now data in the form of weights. And once it leaks, it's permanently in the wild. Interesting times.

Don't worry. They're just leaving the door open for OpenAI and other model makers. They'll relax these safeguards once competition increases.

I think of this episode as well. I can't believe, in my lifetime, we've reached the point where we can have this debate. The current debate also makes me realize that, like that ep…

That's actually a powerful way of stating it. If I did all of these calculations by hand, would it be conscious... That's a powerful argument I haven't seen stated quite that way b…

Markets value future cash flows, not today's cash flows. By the time you see the applications, the market will have moved on to value the next set of future cash flows. If the mark…
