aren't the new huge ai data centers being built without power redundancy/backups, because speed to market is critical?

when music became easier to make in the 90s and 00s due to computers, and you no longer needed studio access, everybody in their bedroom started flooding the market with songs. yet music remains valuable.

today instagram is flooded with ai videos, many extremely obvious (cats doing things), yet these videos are highly popular, some have 400!!! mil views, millions of likes

author is confused, thinks music means just beethoven or Pink Floyd or whatever he considers "good music"

> AI will never fully displace creatives, because the moment AI can mass-produce any kind of creative work at scale, that work will stop being worth producing in the first place.

literally confusing art with elitism and gate-keeping. might as well require "artist degree from an accredited institution"

why would it matter what's in your stomach? caffeine goes pretty quickly to the blood stream, right?
how does the quality compare with the windows built in one (Win+H), the one with online models?

I'm using that to dictate prompts, it struggles with technical terms: JSON becomes Jason, but otherwise is fine

I find the Windows included one (Win+H) very good.

you have a very narrow definition of "people"

on Instagram AI content is highly popular, some videos have 50mil views and half a million likes

with your logic linux should have legal exposure because a lot of hackers use linux
humans aren't randomly dropped in a random terminal and asked to hack things.

but for models this is their life - doing random things in random terminals

firewalls? anthropic surely is whitelisted.

even if token cost and usage increases, it's far far away from the cost of a developer - $10k+/month

as usual with philosophers, you need to decrypt them first

> His philosophy had already stripped away the illusions that would later make “artificial intelligence” look like some epochal rupture. What Silicon Valley insists on calling a breakthrough, Deleuze would treat as another fold in an ancient drift: intelligence was always artificial. There never was a natural thought, no divine spark, no transcendental gift of reason bestowed on Homo sapiens like a medal for good behavior. There is only the machinic phylum — matter in flux, endlessly inventing itself, folding into habits, sedimenting into patterns, crystallizing into programs. Thought is not a privilege of the skull but an immanent property of matter that learns to think itself through circuits, symbols, and flows

Funny, some philosophers which wrote about how technology and AI are going to replace humanity - Deleuze & Guatarri, and Nick Land trace their thinking back to Nietzche, saying that "will to power" and "becoming" is exactly how AI takes shape and incorporates itself.

funny thing - every 2 years gorilla glass creates a tougher one. and the phone makers then make the glass thinner, thus erasing the durability gain
they were discarded 100 years ago? somehow they are still everywhere
Member when music sites were suing YouTube for music videos, and now they are begging people to watch them there and YT view counts are a bragging topic?

Soon music industry will be begging OpenAI for exposure of their content, just like the media industry is begging Google for scraping.
