Duh.

Those free models won't be able to keep up so easy now that the actual frontier models aren't giving away all the answers anymore.

My wife is working on her PhD in microbiology now, using OpenAI to implement her research ideas. Genetics is just too much data, and she eats through tokens like nobody's business.…

Other than "numbers go up" it's unclear to me what the consequences are, as I'm not extremely familiar with El Niño events. Hurricanes, maybe?

I love these posts, every week it's "Gloop is now on Ploof!"

As an American, I always see this kind of "cautious" foreign culture he talks about in shows and anime and I always thought it was meant to be a commentary of specific characters i…

This is delightful! But I was hoping for more "why" in the readme, clearly someone wanted to do something fun here and it'd be lovely to hear more.

I've lived in major US cities my entire life and have never been a victim of crime. Do you have any facts to back up this seemingly outrageous claim?

This article is absurd. They make a credible claim that nuclear deterrence through behavioral norms has failed, and then go on to conclude that the best alternative is ... Nuclear …

This is written with the genuinely unreasonable treatment of American claims as legitimate and actions as legal, with no consideration offered to the very real likelihood that the …

Except you need food to live and tv shows are an artificially scarce resource that's actually free to distribute in unlimited quantities, so the harm is very different.

I contend people starving is a worthwhile problem to solve. Can the tech industry solve it? I don't think so, which makes me curious what the point of the tech industry really is.

That's not what I said.

All the security issues patched in software have either been there since it was released or are introduced with feature updates. As a security veteran, the end of patching is hardl…

I agree that when people say "I'll have to get back to you" it sounds a little less than inspiring. In the military, we always called that "taking a look up" or a "due out," but it…

Having worked on half a dozen government projects backed by Oracle databases, this really seems to be Oracle's entire business model: ship the shittiest product on earth, years lat…

Maybe that's bad?

I used to work on a DoD special project that required rare earths that we could only get from China and we had to write a monthly memo about the risk to our $10B program that China…

This seems like yet another a hilariously disastrous misstep on the part of the Democrats, dark money and restricted speech and red tape. Have they considered just, you know, talki…

It's fascinating that the driving force here was human-driven capitalism enabled by enhanced data collection, and not data-driven decision making at all. It's risk-aversion that's …

Seems like a great opportunity for a non-traditional candidate with some backbone to pull an FDR on this Herbert Hoover.

I think a lot of doomerism over AI making everyone stupid is really overestimating how many people have good critical thinking skills today. I've worked in high skill engineering d…

Imagine if all the ingenuity and dedication of silicon valley billionaires was invested in making the world better instead of making a handful of people richer.

Could not get past the multiple paragraphs of strawman nonsense. Here, let me summarize: The counts of the indictment are luxury, bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect to…
