If it's functionally unhappy, it's at a minimum going to underperform what it could.

Recessions aside, it may be that because they were forced to choose a bad job, and stuck there too long because of insecurity... Their trajectory was changed. Which may just mean t…

Partner with the others and build a product / company... A startup of your own still looks fine on your resume.

Wonder if they're planning to release code. I imagine some opensource player will try to recreate their model themselves too.

You'd almost definitely get more consistency. And improving the system would be easier. Whereas the biases of human judges can be hard to detect, and even if you could correct one …

The idea isn't to make them harder to understand, but rather to make them more consistent, nuanced, and aware of the real world in ways that politicians might not be.

The implication isn't so much that AI will write laws, as it is that it can raise standards, make things clearer and more detailed. And... Enable better understanding of context, s…

If you ignore the complexity added by divided governments, the idea of using LLMs to help draft laws, because they can understand many more domains than the average human, is kinda…

The exponential part may be iffy, but it is self improving. And this same RL is also creating improvements in small model performance. So, more LLMs are about to rise in quality.

If you don't have extra evidence, and the you don't trust the CIA, then what base do you have for your assumption? Wanting human like causes for problems is how humanity invented g…

They could as well say "We aren't sharing our real sources, but we have high confidence." But they are saying that they have low confidence, and that there is no new evidence that …

But they also say that there's no new evidence of any kind. They are just choosing to believe the lab leak hypothesis now, because they spent more time thinking about the condition…

The wet markets were a super spreader event... Doesn't really tell you much about where it started (even if it has animal origin). People just assumed that the wet markets were the…

They say that there is no new data. That they are just altering their choice for what assumption is more likely. Supposedly because they've had more time to think about the conditi…

I feel that that could've been an honest mistake too. The intelligence networks there were weak, and if people were talking about it, they may have assumed wrongly that there was s…

Smallpox, yes. But another SARS variant (even a somewhat more aggressive one)... Obviously, it's not impossible. But, there were even RNA samples from Covid found in other countrie…

If SARS-Cov-2 was from a lab, what about the original SARS? Generally though, China is somewhat better suited to producing pandemics, because they have a larger and more dense popu…

If it could be blamed on "China", it could as well be blamed on "the US" for having also funded that lab, and likely having been responsible for what security measures it would hav…

It seems to mostly be hardware.

OpenAI will no doubt be copying DeepSeek's ideas also. That compute can go to many things.

Might be luck, based on what prompts they ended up including in the batches they used to train the other models.

The Chinese do have their home grown GPUs too, although I have the impression that they're not super good. Even so, if we look at Groq / Cerebras, the fastest LLM inference compani…

They do manage to get smuggled GPUs, but last time I checked, the prices of top GPUs was 5-10x in China, compared to what it should be. And overall, the controls on sales are being…

It's not actually a 600B+ model. It's a mixture of experts. The actual models are pretty small and thus don't require as much training to reach a decent point. It's similar to Mixt…

The position of governments in society, and thus the kinds of solutions they are biased towards, tend to be similar. It's funny seeing things like US Gov trying to control free spe…
