And then a random model/reasoning setting has a stroke and pollutes it all with ai slop.
We can /model, but when can we /harness?
Since the announcement of DeepSeek price hike, I have been using MiniMax M3 and I am really surprised by the quality this model spits out. Subjectively speaking, the bullshit MM3M produces is waaay less than DS0731.
Could it be a result of less hallucinations than DS0731?
https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/omniscience#aa-omn...Maybe hallucination is good for prototyping and creative work, but maintaining and debugging code might be better done by a boring model?
I would also like to read the stripped down markdown copy and not the original. All the time.
We have power centers around the globe. Power centers fill a certain void in societies, because nature hates the void.
Power centers try grow by influencing, coercing, manipulating, buying, bribing other power centers. Again, a law of nature: entities try to expand. Some fail at it, some don't fail - at first. Just like all other entities in nature.
The peasant in the street can profit from it or not. He can be killed by it or not.
Takeway: try to recognize a potentially not profitable grinding operation by power centers. Try not to become a bag hodler :)
Ultimately humans can say NO, no matter the power of the manipulation and coercion by power centers.
Soon, a dented toaster will be enough to run decent models.
All apps you are using are made with AI.

Who has written this?
Holy moly, I just applied the principles to DND campaign creation and I am in awe.
"Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press"
All of those are rotten and corrupted to the core. But I don't think they will be destroyed by AI. People are voting with their feet.
To charge the average Tesla in 5 minutes you need about 1MW and cables as thick as a forearm.
My experience is:
If you are good at something, you will do it for ever.
Be good - or get good - at things that you value.
So of those 2k calories the average human body needs to sustain itself, only a fraction of it, or none at all, is needed to perform many hours of physical labor. This means physical labor done by humans is cheap or free.
But societal, cultural and political concepts and traditions are technology too.
Reading headlines like this my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
The article is fine, but the image implementation on this website did dampen the experience somewhat.
Yes, resources are infinite.
That is why the carrying capacity of the earth is also infinite.
Because the ingenuity of humans is infinite.
ok I am firing up the xerox machine damnit
OT but got me thinking:
I member my old Voodoo graphics card had like 10 to 15 Watts. Then was surprised how much power the 6800Ultra consumed: whooping 70Watts. Those numbers are peanuts today. 350W for the AMD and 450W for the nVidia card.
AMD is predicting 0.7kW in 2025. I imagine in 2030 people will be having some some fancy CPU and RAM, but that GPU will be sitting on top of a 2kg block of copper to keep up with the heat generation. 1.2kW Cards here we go!
Next up: that power cable coming out of that wall is going straight into the GPU.

None.
Those are good people I guess.
Maybe all these programs to help students are just a cash grab and tackle pointless non issues.
> Nuclear energy is one of the most dangerous forms of energy as one mistake in handling nuclear power can cause loss of many lives and damage for centuries
I consider Nuclear Energy an insurance policy for the local civilization. As long as a nation runs this things, the people running the gov can not totally detach from the populace and can not go totally insane.
Well, at least I thought so until Zelynsky was elected.
Conspiring, thinking and talking about conspiracies is normal human nature. Nothing to see here.
Being always connected to all people on the planet might not be healthy for all. No way!
Funny thing. For about 5 years now I manually adjust hue, saturation and other stuff to my liking for each product, because the colors felt bad very often.
Now I am just waiting for an AI colorizer to watch "Schindlers List" how it was supposed to be.
