I'm very sorry if this isn't the case, but this message really feels LLM-written.

I feel like that's part of what Elon is flexing. Teslabot was late comer compared to competitors like BD. Elon is showing off he can marshal enough resources and talents to be on par (kinda) with state of the art products in crazy time. That's been most of his superpower so far - not breakthrough tech that didnt exist before. We've had rockets before.
I don't like Elon either, but not only has SpaceX created breakthrough tech that didn't exist by landing an orbital class rocket, as of today still nobody else has done it. Landing a rocket was considered impossible and unthinkable 10 years ago, and then SpaceX completely changed the game. And they're reinventing rocket tech again with Starship by catching it midair.
We can all thank Gwynne Shotwell for this though.

I think they just don’t like him for political views and they feed themselves with mainstream media
You should be more respectful of other people's intelligence. Not everyone who disagrees with you is brainwashed.
I think a lot of that comes from people thinking the eye-catching memorable views they've read are the most common views. When they're really not and are mire likely just the views of the most passionate 1%.

#225Off topic, but just in case: is there a good reference on how people actually use LLMs on a daily basis ? All my attempts so far have been pretty underwhelming: * when I use chatbots as search engines, I'm very quickly disappointed by obvious hallucinations * I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best, and "auto-complete on mushrooms" at worst * I rarely have use cases…
My wife has found ChatGPT extremely useful when dealing with her mother - who has bipolar and is obsessed with other people's health. I've got a terminal cancer diagnosis and handling my mother-in-law has been extremely difficult - nearly to the point of no longer having any communication with her. ChatGPT has a single conversation with all the back story and has put some useful points across when discussing how diff…
I'm sorry for your situation.

You make your own choices, but cutting a person like this off would be very reasonable

I've spent the last hour testing it and I'm blown away. And this is coming from a very hardcore user of OpenAI/Claude products on a daily basis. It passed every goofy test I have for writing articles which involves trying to surface arcane obscure details. (it certainly means however they are scraping the Web they are doing a good job here) It made the database code I wrote over the last week with o3/o1/GPT4o/Claude3…
Apologies for possibly stupid question but where can you use it right now? Just on 'direct chat' on https://lmarena.ai/ or is there a better alternative? Or do you have early access?
You need an X Premium Plus subscription on Twitter.

#227Companies have hijacked the open source concept to mean downloadable blob and we follow them as I see in the comments. It’s a real shame.
Most of these claimed “open” models are not open source. Some of them are open weights. But even some of the ones that share weights are not really open - they force a restricted license on you. To be open source I think they need to share training data and training code under an OSI approved license.
AI2 has a model called OLMo that is actually open source. They share the training data, training source code, and many other things:

They also released an app recently, to do local inference on your phone with a small truly open source model:

finally, after two years of hype I have some usage for llm.
we import descriptions of products from a seller. the problem is they are mental ( probably written by chatgpt :)) and are way too long. we need only small blurb.
I put our style guide and given text to chatgpt and I get somehow reasonable description back. then editors still need to check it, but it's way less work.

You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche. Of course, he needs to do impressive things, stuff that a normal person wouldn’t have the resources to achieve. It’s similar to…
> His profits don’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. SpaceX is private, Starlink makes real money from real users. > Everything he does is done to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche. Well that's clearly not right. He's doing a lot of things to make himself seem like a total tool that we should all boycott no matter how good the prod…
SpaceX is not where most of his valuation comes from: it principally comes from Tesla stock, which is vastly, hilariously overvalued compared to it's performance as a car company, and definitely compared to it's performance as a technology company.
Even more importantly, analysis of Elon's tweeting patterns versus Tesla stock valuation makes the why Twitter became so central to him obvious[1] - it was a massive driver of Tesla stock value. Buying it was a good move from the perspective that he really couldn't afford to be banned from Twitter.
