Provide actual requirements. Object detection doesn't require a data center or a rack of GPUs. Other things might.

Not only because the volume of data is smaller, but because the compute is local. Geosync RTT is 240–280 milliseconds. Earth-Moon RTT is 1250 ms. Earth-Mars is 6-40 *minutes*.

This insane take that compute shouldn't happen in space is only viable for LEO or latency insensitive use cases. We are going to put enormous amounts of compute in space, because we're going to need real-time compute far beyond LEO. johnjones is just an idiot spouting off in the interwebs and may be safely ignored.

Hah! rsilvergun saying stuff that isn't commie pabulum.

If you weren't so simple you'd know that my view is pro-business. But that would involve not mindlessly obeying your training.

the LLM model they're using for "AI Overview" is terrible. Obviously, they're doing that because it's a small model that runs fast, so it can handle the load of millions of queries a minute. I find that if you then click "Dive Deeper", the model improves to something usable, often completely contradicting the "Overview" slop.

It's not a good look. But I suppose they have to put "AI" out front, even when it's crap.

Structuring your nation's laws around the longevity of companies is a terrible idea. Most companies should fail, because most companies are bullshit created by ambitious idiots and/or scofflaws and deserve failure. Most companies that have ever existed are gone today. And that's fine. That's healthy.

You'd think with the successes of the original 16-bit Apple machines, then the Mac platform, full of third party software of every kind imaginable, it should have been self-evident that third party apps would be natural and beneficial. But people like Jobs just can't help themselves: their instinct is to control their platform and exclude everyone else. So they indulge the Reality Distortion Field hard enough to convince themselves that such a scheme is viable, all evidence of history to the contrary, and capture all the money.

The jail breakers are the real heros. They're the ones that pierced the Field and corrected this dysfunction, where no amount of explaining had any impact. They left Apple with two choices: go to war with jail breakers and become a pariah, or correct the bad thinking that prevailed to that point. Fortunately they chose the latter.

Or maybe unfortunately. The residual tyranny that did survive is more than I've ever considered tolerating. Maybe it would have been better if Apple had self-immolated the iPhone with Jobs' vision.

There is nothing about such a mission that mandates obsolete, 2x order of magnitude money torching. Please stop it with your commie shilling.

It doesn't really matter in the long run. Sooner or later the US with elect another (D) president and the teacher's union and/or some other pressure group will once again cut NASA's space program and take the money. After than, NASA or whomever will be forced to adopt cost effective solutions.

Yeah, it was cool watching those four $146,000,000/each RS-25 engines return to the landing pad. Stupid capitalists.

Not at all bad. Their competitors, such as Codex, are already open source. Anthropic is the odd man out being closed. It's just client side "prompt engineering" and IDE integration stuff, click bait headlines not withstanding.

Nothing of real value has been disclosed. It's interesting, but that's about all.

LOL. This is great. What you may be missing here is that global warming alarmists are obligated to shout down any suggestion that human development has led to any upward skew in historical temperature data through localized effects, as opposed to global atmospheric effects. Now, we have someone pointing fingers at data centers by measuring temperatures near these developments and reporting increases. "The Cat" has instinctually surmised the crisis.

What's an interweb Planet Saver to do??!!

This. This is a legal earthquake and existing law firms will pivot and new law firms will be created to dive into Big Tech social media settlement money. Plaintiffs will be groomed, "expert" witnesses will be retained for years, judges will get cushy property deals and non-show non-profit jobs for their clans.... the whole shebang is spinning up right now.

And "changes" will only mitigate (no preclude) future cases. This is all unprovable mental health stuff and "harm" can be attributed to anyone that's seen a post since facebook et al. was founded.

Altman and co. are dealing in investments of 10s and 100s of billions of dollars. Disney comes to the table with $1B and expects what, exactly? That OpenAI will be the firewall that protects Disney from AI predation? LOL. Disney will need to 10x or 100x that number at least, and they're still going to lose.

It was male. However, it was also gay, as Colbert will reveal.

Gay elves, gay hobbits. You'll see.

There will be female elves beating up everything: orcs, male elves, male humans, dragons, horses, barrels of ale. Everything.

Also, girl Legolas. Bet that.

Might have made a good date movie, if anyone still went on dates.

Imagine thinking gamers still matter to Huang.
