Show me how your insights have enabled you to create more advanced functionality, and then I'll be interested.

Much of the critique seems irrelevant to AI other than LLMs, such as self-driving cars which map visual input to actions.

My wife and I bought a used 2024 Mini Cooper EV just last weekend, for roughly that amount. It seems well-built and is very fun to drive. However it is only useful for driving around town because its range is only 120 miles. Technologically this is clearly out of date. I couldn't help but think that if not for trade restrictions we could be paying the same for a new car with more advanced batteries and motors. In fact the Mini Cooper EV, the 2025 model with almost double the range, is not available in the US because of trade restrictions.

I never liked the framing of 'their brain hasn't finished maturing.' You could as well say that after 26 the brain begins its decline into risk aversion and senescence. Somebody has to go out and slay the beasts and fight the enemies and make the babies and young people in their physical prime did most of it.

The last thing NVidia wants to do is advance TPUs as a viable and more affordable alternative to the GPUs that are a gusher of profit for NVidia. Even if it's inevitable, delaying the erosion of the GPU market is worth billions per month to them.

This is some big-league gambling! $200B in a morning! That's the entire market cap of Apple in spring of 2010. (For reference that's when the iPhone 4 came out - they were at the top of their game.)

I had forgot about Altman getting fired by the board for not 'being candid' (presumably tantamount to lying). Admittedly if there is a business equivalent to being expelled for academic fraud, that might be it.

If nothing else, Kennedy and his cronies can duck behind really expensive equipment while flinging feces at each other. We can leave some bones amongst the servers for them to discover and perhaps use to beat each other.

Vast amounts of money flowing to companies that will leave precious little as they fail out. The rich who are willing to play the game will get richer.

Haven't heard much about DOGE lately. I'm sure they have an unbroken track record of success marrying disparate datasets of a scale that is microscopic compared to what's being proposed here.

Won't matter who wins in 2028. They're going to inherit sweet fuck all except for a half finished White House.

48 months, and I just had Apple put a new battery in. Unless the actual protocols get deprecated, or it flies off my motorcycle to a grisly demise, I expect to have my iPhone 13 for another 4 years.

Internet: "Google is using your email to train AI models!"

Google: "We don't use them to train our Gemini model."

Um... can we have more details? We suspect a devil infestation.

Of course it's nice to see the argument made with substantiation. That's far beyond my ability. But right from the first time I heard the moon origin hypothesis I imagined two rocky planets drifting into each other when clearing their orbits.

The only other thing that seemed plausible was a strike from a rogue planet from somewhere else, but that's just so spectacularly unlikely I never gave it much credence.

*shrug* So, yeah. The thing that seems intuitively right turns out likely to be true. Not a revelation... but checking your assumptions is never a waste.

This might be the best evidence yet of a bubble.

I don't think he will or should receive a lifetime ban from any and all employment.

But as for MIT, or any other research institution with any prestige, my prediction is he is done.

As for Sam Altman, maybe you can point us to some example when he or OpenAI violated academic integrity by fabricating data like this?

I would be so utterly disappointed and surprised if Napster had somehow grown up into a stable, solvent, law-abiding corporation.

Agreed, but people were allowed to indicate multiple sites (the sum is way over 100%) so you can just ignore the questionable ones without changing the rankings among the more social websites.

The fall of erstwhile-twitter is quite stunning.
