Signs that the bubble is about to burst. They are now claiming AGI despite being fundamentally away from it. An LLM can not ever achieve AGI. It may reasonably well PRETEND to be AGI, but at the core it's just a highly successfull letter-prediction machine. Or as a metaphor: It is "intelligence" in the sense that a toddler carefully placing one foot in front of the other while trying hard to not fall over is "running". Nope, isn't and never will be. You need a qualitative change to get there.

If they now CLAIM that they've achieved AGI, it's a sign we're nearing the end of LLM development and they're getting desperate selling the latest incremental updates. Which means the illusion is about to come crashing down.

Which is good news. Fewer data centers and lower memory prices will benefit us all.

And the misuse of the word "free" continues. Those weren't "free", they were included at no extra/additional cost/price. I mean, you pay me $350,000, and I will sell you my house and give you the kitchen "for free"!! Free kitchens!!!! To be free, there would be no requirement to buy anything (free of cost and of obligation).

Wow, pedantic much?

OP simply used "free" when he should have said "included", which to most people are two different ways of describing something one gets "for no additional cost".

If your peripheral vision is so limited that an off-center speedometer is a hassle that keeps you from driving a Tesla, perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all?

I live in an LHD country, my Tesla has a center console display, and the speed is in the upper left corner of the display - it's not a hassle at all.

But I'm glad you shared the issue that keeps you from buying a Tesla - I let Elon know that if he simply redesigns the dashboard in his cars to better resemble cars from the thirties he could pick one more sale to a driver with poor peripheral vision.

I'm sure he'll jump right on that...

As best as I can tell, the so-called "instrument panel" is a secondary, and redundant display of selected info from the car's main (included in the base price) display.

  What fantastical unique information is the driver deprived of if they choose not to order the $255 instrument panel? Nothing.

This is very much in-line with previous cars that offered optional heads-up displays on the windshield (like in a fighter jet).

Calling Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown "affirmative action picks".

I doubt Charlie actually ever said that, but if he did, he got three of the four right - Michelle married into her position of prominence, and had a successful career before her husband went to the Whitehouse.

Joy Reid is still searching for the homophobic hacker that posted all that hateful stuff on her blog, and hasn't been able to put together a coherent thought on current events in years.

Sheila Jackson Lee literally asked if the Mars Rover could navigate to where the Apollo astronauts landed on the moon.

Keysnji Brown can't identify what a woman is, and has repeatedly been rebuked by her peers. She was LITERALLY picked by Biden after he publicly declared he'd only pick a black woman for SCOTUS... that is literally the definition of a DEI Pick.

Trans people are to blame for inflation: "There's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue. You say, Charlie, come on. They couldn't be further apart. No, they're exactly the same.

Yes, a very "middle of the road" supporter of far-right Tommy Robinson (who has a 17% positivity ranking among Brits). The guy who said "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." The guy who described diversity as an "ideological inferno", a "religion" led by "high priests". The guy who was so radical and repressive at Basecamp that at one point 1/3rd of its employees all walked out en masse. Truly, a remarkable centrist of our times!
