I don't have all the numbers but as someone who lives in VA and has had their power bill _double_ over the last year, I'd be hard-pressed to think DCs are commonly paying their fai…

Using AI as leverage for labor is myopic. The businesses that thrive will be the ones that use it to automate and allow its employees to go deeper and innovate. The fish can rot fr…

Because they’re low quality trash

I think this ignores the potential impact of local AI across 2+B devices that no longer need SOTA models for the majority of use-cases. What does that do to datacenter demand?

My take is why not both? It’s good cover to use something that’s eventually going to happen and their name will be associated with the first.

Nonsense it was irresponsible. These are all steps threat researchers use to isolate and test real malware whose behaviour is essentially the same in this case for AI

Whether or not it’s robbery is irrelevant. It’s the proposed remedy that is the problem

Alignment is a mitigation and a poor one. The risk is non- determinism.

Its almost too good

I read it as _now_ they have access to the models but not during the intrusion

Imagine the security for the high value products

Comparing sherlocking to corporate espionage. What a garbage article.

Yeah that and a $600 billion commitment for advance manufacturing in the US. just a minor concession

It was either worth it or it wasn’t. They wouldn’t have agreed otherwise. This is trying to save face while having 85% margins. Apple is just defending its margin as well. They’re …

I'll be hanging up my hat (mid 40s) in a few months after 20+ years working as an engineer. The culmination of having our second child, corporate politics, and the hustle of it all…

Tell me who can overcome market forces. Literally no one. I'm starting to think bots are writing these low-quality inflammatory comments.

Unfortunately, the odds of your start-up succeeding are very slim. Not to say that it's impossible but I wouldn't bank on it. I worked at as a founding engineering with two sr dire…

>This was a good part of life. The office gave us access to this. It served as the ambient social substrate where tolerance, community, and begrudging, low-grade, constant connecti…

"It's fair to say that 80 percent of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go," - Obama telling the truth

Things like siphoning your data and using it to train while nerfing the model for everyone else is just the beginning of shady, rug-pulling, enshitification behavior we should expe…

"for example, on building pretraining pipelines, distributed training infrastructure, or ML accelerator design" Oh man all of those runaway infrastructure buildouts by our agents t…
