yes, but at that point even open weight models are not free. Can someone set up the best open-weight model for free and charge pretty much just for GPU usage+operations+margin for …

but this crap may take forever to play out even if the outcome is well-known. Self-driving is "here", it's obvious that once it's cheap enough having a human behind a car wheel or …

coding on a laptop is only one use case you can't create a new drug by running a model on a laptop. You can't serve a customer support bot running on a laptop. You can't generate v…

It seems like the endgame is to amass absurd amounts of hardware and produce something that will replace you the baker entirely everything else we see today is just preparing for i…

> Who pays for that? Not the data center uh... how? they do pay for what they use.

data center = girlfriend bots = meth lab is a pretty wild connection to make.

this is really something. They claim (no idea if true) to have patched 4,000+ signals in 550+ C++ files in Chromium. coveryourtracks.eff.org uses like what, 25 signals?

it's a very handwavey way to "explain" anything. Yes, they make money. But they have competition. And if someone runs out of tokens and switches to deepseek or just goes for a frig…

but then you end up with a clusterfuck of classes?

So the federal government industrial policy is the thing that supposedly will keep the prices on "A and O" high in the US while the rest of the world will get comparable AI competi…

> why should someone pay that business to solve whatever problem it solves instead of also getting the AI to solve it? well because presumably even in that brave new world, solving…

this is a bit... general? there are companies with bullshit executives for sure, then there are companies who slay it. i hate to list the details because people start picking on de…

isn't it an attempt to give structure to something that surely would have existed illegally otherwise? banning something doesn't automatically stop it.

well, there _is_ this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty "bars states party to the treaty from placing weapons of mass destruction in Earth orbit, installing them on…

well China debate aside, where are they? i've been dabbling in electrics for over a decade now, on the lower range they are still 30% more expensive than gas cars. Surely someone, …

no idea how spotify ai specifically works (i don't use that service) but: > fitting the track into the set as a whole. It’s not a random music discovery process there have been ple…

there are plenty of amazingly lucrative businesses that do really well, like online casinos, tobacco companies, etc. that happily milk their users and don't bother with improving h…

yeah my teammates seem to enjoy checking in endless walls of MD texts of "documentation" generated by llms after it's done adding a feature. So even if that's an extreme and your d…

i don't know what i'm doing wrong but my mac has terrible time recognizing any USB-C headphones. First, it takes a while to recognize, then it never switches over by default so i o…

yeah weird. Same goes for the "ATMs increased demand for tellers" strange idea suggested earlier in the article, which was automatically disproven right there by actually attributi…

that's kind of an ad hominem, but also beside the point: most bank apps (and websites) are actually absolute garbage, especially the top ones, just one example: the Citi app (on di…

With so much hype it's a valid question: "is this useful/practical, or just a fun rabbit hole/productivity porn". Money is the most obvious metric, feel free to inquire the parent …

the obvious problem with replacing the algorithm is that people actually crave that shit, after all there have been tens of thousands of highly trained engineers making it as addic…

> It’s not anymore (actually google is awful now) and people are still using it if people are still using it, then it's really one of the few things, right? * you are wrong and it'…

do they use facebook or instagram? meta jammed their LLM into the search box there. Do they use google at all? the AI summary produced by Gemini leads you to click on "more details…
