Re:Bending Spoons acquires Airtable for $1.25B on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @02:56PM (#49173241)
Was great... how did so many things go wrong over the last few years? Sorry for the employees, equity worth 0 and probably being laid off by Bending Spoons

It's so capable at some things, and others are garbage. I uploaded a photo of some words for a spelling bee and asked it to quiz my kid on the words. The first word it asked, wasn't on the list. After multiple attempts to get it to start asking only the words in the uploaded pic, it did, and then would get the spellings wrong in the Q&A. I gave up.
Re:Nvidia buying AI chip startup Groq for about $20B on Thursday December 25, 2025 @05:56PM (#46387572)
the talk is that sambanova-intel is akin to a firesale, so who knows what the real story with any single company. same with graphcore.

How do you implement the same thing on Android?
It looks like there are spacers that might fill in different gaps depending on a case - the whole usb plug looks a bit long to suit different cases
Will you offer this without a subscription fee? I like it but for this it should just be a small voice model running on device, not cloud - especially given you don't use APIs. I think you'll get a lot of adoption if it doesn't have a subscription or cloud requirement.

I can also guarantee you points 2 & 3 are pretty wrong as well. Funny (and also sad) how different peoples realities can be. I have been worn out sitting on both sides of the table to tell you the truth. (One thing I will say is that within VC, the vast majority of the folks actually doing the work are sympathetic and helpful to companies, working with early/senior employees, but it gets lost up the food chain so to speak and there's usually just one or two people making decisions at the end of the day about a particular deal or a whole portfolio- and these people are generally very self-interested.)
Re:GPT-4o on Tuesday May 14, 2024 @12:09AM (#40351529)
On one hand, some of these results are impressive; on the other, the illegal moves count is alarming - it suggests no reasoning ability as there should never be an illegal move? I mean, how could a violation of a fairly basic game (from a rules perspective) be acceptable in assigning any 'outcome' to a model other than failure?

For what it's worth, thats not accurate - a spectrograph was used in 1995 to discover the first exoplanet by Mayor and Queloz, and they received a Nobel prize for this. So GPT is right. One can be pedantic and say that not an "image" but most would disagree.
Re:We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it on Monday February 06, 2023 @09:16PM (#34687718)
Here's the thing... so many jobs are bullshit. So many things people are paid to write, presentations made, etc. are bullshit. I'm not judging the bullshit per se. There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not. But yeah, when you accept this reality, AI is sort of perfect for the bullshit that exists in our lives.
Is there a bloatware app that one can run that identifies all the garbage on a pc and removes it?
