We live in ridiculous times. Maybe being a parody is long term value creation and worth $30M from VCs.

Great premise but can't really agree with the execution. Felt like this makes too many implicit assumptions about LLM capabilities and traps without differentiating enough between a smart human vs AI.

Security should be a non issue in the age of AI now that auditing is cheaper than ever.

I'd give them more credits if they use the AI slop unmaintainability argument.

Been looking for a solution exactly like this but I struggle to see how it is different than spinning 10 Atlas tabs with a 2 sentence prompt.

What would be the state of the art?

This guys recent startup endorsement is the infamous rabbit r1.

Should tell you enough lol.

Cool idea. Never gonna work. LLMs are still generative models that spits out training data, incapable of highly abstract creative tasks like research.

I still remember all the GPT-2 based startup idea generators that spits out pseudo-feasible startups.

> but man this is one of the most "doomed to fail" things I've ever seen.

It will. I don't know which VC did the due diligence but the CEO once founded a scam company called RavenTech and the CTO just dropped out of CMU.

They used to be called CyberManufacture Co. and was selling NFTs. You see where this is going?

Worked at a couple FAANG companies and from what I've seen, management is absolutely right that remote work, overall, is inefficient. There was a Blind poll and I believe half the people admitted they were slacking off more frequently while remote.

However, being laid off is just a completely different matter. Depending on the company, the motivation for the layoff could significantly differ. Some did it to save costs, others have quotas to meet, etc. But I believe it is fair to say there is no observable correlation between remote work and chances of being laid off.

The zoom out is just chef's kiss

Could be that they assumed it must be a photo and the smudge was done intentionally as an artistic expression? The art world is so out of touch now I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

Is there an actual source for that or are you just here to complain about Stable Diffusion users flooding your Twitter with AI waifus?

If David is such a "big dreamer hippie dork," he should: 1. either open source the model or at least make it cheaper ($8/month for just 200 images is ridiculous) and 2. not bow down to dictators, or just stay out of political subjects completely.

I don't know, but China is not posing fines up to $1M and threatening 20 years in prison + civil forfeiture to just run a VPN.

Also, are you saying genocides is not one of US's main export?

In order to beat China, we need to become something worse than China?

Pretty interesting discussion - I particularly liked the part about how, in order to better align LLMs, we need better transparency so everyone can help study and align them.

A simple hack that blocks OpenAI's backend account check API helps restore current chat history.

I've tried most of these and I gotta say, ChatGLM is actually pretty good. The Chinese responses are sometimes indistinguishable from those of ChatGPT, and it's only a 6B model.

Sadly, whenever I use harder questions or logical ones, it performs terribly. It also occasionally uses Chinese adjectives (albeit correctly) when responding in English.

You still need high quality photos to generate these headshots. Anyone can just put those photos in midjourney or stable diffusion, and with ~10 minutes of prompting, generate their stylized headshots?
