    GPT5 is some sort of quantized model, its not SOTA. The trust that OpenAI would be SOTA has been shattered. They were among the best with o3/o4 and 4.5. This is a budget model and …

    Well, like, thats just your opinion man. And probably close to wrong if we are looking at the sheer scale of use. There is a bit of reality denial among anti-AI people. I thought a…

    I am so happy I learned about Philosophical Pragmatism. If its useful use it, if its not useful don't use it. Replicated studies can likely be replicated under the same conditions.…

    If the findings are replicated, thats fine, you can begin to trust. But the findings are often not replicated.

    I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but I think it would benefit society to have Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus taught, and probably William James's Pragmatism. Wi…

    Thats the one thing about Apple products. You get all the features of SOTA but 5-6 years after its already been in use.

    'Easy' Well, I didn't know about this. I didn't consider it. I also would then need to spend a non-tax deductible amount on this. And IIRC Tesla entered the Fortune 500 before 2022…

    Why is the government paying for graduate education? I paid for my own graduate education.

    But I can deploy a decent sized Laravel app in about 2 days... I would need to learn the javascript equivalent.

    I probably wouldn't care much about Tesla and Elon, but he scammed his way to become a fortune 500 company which made SPY and my 401k autobuy Tesla. Buying SPY, my mistake. Being i…
