We make fun of people using an LLM to spellcheck an email, yet here we are asking a human to define a common word, right?

Curate means you choose what goes in. Like monthly.xls orgchart.doc and context, for example, "This field means employee is NLE, unless they were a contractor, then it means the contract ...". This ain't rocket AI neurosurgery my dudes. Anyone can do that individually with existing tools, but what Cloudflare is trying to do, I guess, is make it easier to do that from one place and share with the company. Like Jupyter/run book type stuff but with LLM, probably. Just guessing but that seems kind of obvious to me.

No you're conflating very different things, this "tokenmaxxing" crap is some Microsoft/Amazon/Google/Meta scale thing where we have our own data centers dedicated to AI compute that could be seen as a wasted investment if not driven at 100% usage. Maybe some startups going balls to the wall at $API rates with someone else's money, but that is not "a lot of corps"

Then you have rando fintech, edtech, *tech adjacent business paying $20/head a month for office workers to have AI access because that's what all the other cool kids are doing. There you have Sally from Accounting turning bullet points into emails because the CEO said everyone should be using AI. That is a lot of companies, and what Sally is doing is not insane. Neither is putting a $20/month high value information tool at everyone's fingertips and encouraging its use to stay competitive. That is not the craziest thing happening in IT, ffs. A lot of that usage will go down the same way online video training services that the company bought and encouraged everyone to use.. queue up an Intro to Java video and go to lunch to show you used it. This isn't REMOTELY the same thing as "tokenmaxxing".. some AI subs will get dropped, a lot will stick, because it is genuinely useful every day for a ton of people.

T-Mobile is on one hell of a downward spiral. It's actually impressive.

Is the person who ignored Pelosi in the room with you right now?

It's easy to blame Intel but that was a joint venture with Micron and Intel. IMFlash out of Lehi Utah. Micron was every bit as responsible and if I remember right still holds most of the patents.

You could even make the case it was Micron that killed it because they dumped the entire thing on Intel and sold off the Lehi fab. Without Micron sharing manufacturing costs and with scaling difficulties lagging behind traditional NAND bit density improvements, Optane became financially unviable.

Isn't limited to reddit. It's every social media site and almost every comment section online. I'm actually appreciative of the sites that don't have comment sections or require an extra click to view them these days.

Call centers have been absolute shit for 30+ years.

The way this is being described is asinine. You lose a master and you're fucked, lose a copy and you still have the master. It's like words don't mean anything to these people. Additionally, fuck the studio for not encrypting it or exercising any sort of security on it at all.

Pretty much everyone in this story is a moron

"The limitation lies in the inclusion of copyright-significant material generated by such tools in the code submitted to GCC"

This seems like the important bit. Isn't there significant concern over whether LLM generated code can be copyrighted?

This "AI" seems to be severely lacking in training, in that no superior/invincible force (e.g. a party simulating law enforcement) showed up and demonstrated the downside to taking certain actions.

You aren't forced and you aren't subsidizing anything, you're being priced out by people who want something more than you do and they're paying for it. It's supply and demand. It's like living in a gentrifying neighborhood, I don't know what else to tell you but nobody owes you a damned thing here. When people with more money than you do buy up all the inventory that's what happens.

Jesus dude, if we were actually talking about housing prices or closer to the issue, electricity rates, I'd have a little empathy for you, and I do think people are owed affordable housing and power, and other essentials etc, and there are ways of addressing those during spiking market demand.

But your PC parts, your PlayStations, I mean fuck off, I guess you've never lived through hard drive shortages, ram shortages before, $2000+ basic desktop PCs, internet access by the minute. Even if you think AI subscribers aren't yet paying for the full cost of AI services, you aren't subsidizing a damn thing unless you're the man behind the scenes providing private equity to some AI service provider.

Dammit, can't anyone make some stylish cyber-shoes? That looks like shit! Anyone who goes around upskirt-snapping with shoes like that, is going to get laughed out of the ballroom by all the snobs.

Is it ok if I show up in regular glasses, but where an always-on LED is attached to the one of the corners? (I understand pervs are falling out of popularity, but that doesn't mean we need to abandon the whole aesthetic!)

Doe she watch it with her boyfriend?

... when in the past twenty years has replacing data center equipment been more economical? I don't get where you're coming from. We write down deprecation on IT equipment, that doesn't mean its value changes. Servers got bigger and bigger while workloads stayed about the same. It's what allowed VMware to grow into the behemoth it became. It also made replacing physical servers less and less necessary. You can run them well past their support life and replace only when truly dead or unreliable, or give up and virtualize it finally. The last big spend money to save money in IT WAS VMware. Well maybe it was mid tier SSD arrays replacing enterprise spinning disk ones, but anyways.

It's kind of like you're talking about depreciation of a minivan vs the value of a minivan full of cargo where every new day you sell a run full of cargo it's exactly as valuable as yesterday which was as valuable as it was on day one. Selling inference compute is like the selling cargo space, I mean sure you depreciate the equipment for tax purposes, but every day that thing runs 100% is money.
