I'd imagine that OpenAI would try to stagger their announcements, rather than publishing them recently close to each other. Is this because their previous post (about navier stokes problem) was met with controversy?

I genuinely think that AI has accelerated so many different things that announcements from all companies will be incredibly common and fast. In my own company, the last 2 months, I feel like we've made more feature announcements to our internal staff than they can handle. AI has genuinely made us that much faster. In the past, making one of these announcements every month and the company celebrated. Now we're making…

> more feature announcements to our internal staff than they can handle

have you considered the consequences of that or are you still drunk and thinking that this is a good thing?

I apologise if this sounds mean spirited, I find posts like these making grand claims without taking the time to present facts that back the magnitude of these claims simply add noise to the discussion. You could've stopped with just the first sentence and I've would learned just as much as I did reading that comment to the end.

I've been tracking Github commits per week for my team. Here's how it's looking:

Our own Github commits volume seem to follow quite closely with token usage on Open Router:

Some body compared AI as something like a big boulder rolling down a mountain, decimating anything that lies in its path. After giving it a bit of thought, I feel that what humanity is doing with LLM is exactly that. The problem is not that it is super smart. It is that it is super dumb and super powerful.

Let's go back to caves, this whole "civilisation" thing is not working out.

The right tool for the job. There are tasks for which LLMs are unbelievably helpful. In programming, used well, it can 10x your productivity. (Well maybe not literally, but Nx for non-trivial N.) I've seen really good programmers become even faster since the LLM is doing the grunt work for them and the code produced in the end is just as top notch quality as they produced before, just that now they are much faster. O…

Many will disagree and say that anything done by humans is by far superior to anything done by machines. You don't want to correct them, do you?

Machines are extensions of man, it’s not man vs machine but man with machines vs man without.

Well at least as long as they don’t develop consciousness of their own.

They are desperately rushing to IPO before the bubble bursts.

AI just solved a millennium prize problem. In a matter of days. Because of a rumor that someone else solved the same problem with AI. What exactly would AI have to do in order to not be called a bubble?

How these things are even connected?

The current prices the largest players set for their models are not profitable, they bleed money. Eventually they will "fix" it. It could end up making their services less affordable and it could cascade other businesses and services that are dependent on them go out of business

My neighbour - a few hundred metres further up the road - has two dogs, one of which a surefire genius as it has no problems barking out 334543333-bit RSA factorisations. It must have been solving NP-complete problems for years by now, night after night.

The problem is when people ignore or dismiss developments in AI purely out of insecurity or a sense of human superiority. Machines don’t have to be superior to humans to dramatically amplify what humans can do.

Well, it's different "man" as well - lowering the barrier to entry means people with less skill but with a machine, and maybe the gift of the gab, can commercially surpass the previous people, whether or not they have a machine available.
