I guess this means we'll have an openai release soon

Every time this comes up people say they're not actually useful for ML. Is that true? And if not what would they be useful for

This kind of pricing strategy makes me think we're gonna have a pretty rough time once AGI arrives making any money. (I.e. no 'too cheap to meter' and basically all the rich getting richer.)
"The Norwegian information also talks about how to survive for three days without power"

I mean canned food etc is useful but you wouldn't even die from starvation if you stood outside for that amount of time.

I get what you're doing but I don't find this a fair caricature of james' writing style
Wouldn't be hard to code it to easily swap between GCP and AWS ahead of time knowing things like this could happen
can't flush down money into crypto without someone else grabbing it (maybe china, maybe europe, or just other parts of the US)

Well this is from the 80s when writing was still quite respected and practiced

Another argument is that it could lead to a bot problem 10x worse than twitters ever was.
Re:ChatGPT now on chat.com on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @02:24PM (#42067840)
I kinda feel like the sort of kiki weird odd name of chatgpt helped it gain traction. People care way less about pleasurable brand names than marketing people think. Just 'chat' is way too generic etc (sounds like many unoriginal SF companies)

It's already happened in a subtle way via who got to partner with them to be displayed in results vs not.

Wait til you try a one day workweek
One idea is that they're fake planted rumors. Certanily not the first time things like that happen
Re:Dracula author's lost story unearthed after 134 years on Monday October 21, 2024 @12:50PM (#41905984)
Seems like a non pessimistic idea of something LLMs could help us out with. Mass analysis of old texts for new finds like this. If this one exists surely there are many more just a mass analysis away

Re:JavaScript Structs on Thursday October 10, 2024 @02:47PM (#41802027)
WasmGC is just garbage collection? Not browser APIs
Not necessarily to fend off hostile takeovers, Anthropic adopted that structure too and it might be that they're just admitting that it's the right option

Makes me think CERN has too much money
Re:Meta Movie Gen on Friday October 04, 2024 @11:10AM (#41742237)
Same was thought to happen about images but it hasn't. People quickly debunk AI generated content presented as real in replies or community notes. Not a real issue.
Re:Anthropic hires OpenAI co-founder Durk Kingma on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @02:35PM (#41712366)
It's exciting to wonder where Anthropic will be in like 5 years time with this incredible momentum
This is all getting kinda boring to keep up with.
Way lower than the $100B I heard they were aiming for
Re:AI as an Information Interface on Thursday September 19, 2024 @09:46AM (#41591777)
Yep, and I would have been really excited about this if it wasn't that they're hidden away behind an internet required api that can be taken away from you with rate limits.
Re:Llms.txt on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @07:43AM (#41444514)
LLMs are already nearly as smart as humans. Whatever needs to be known should be able to inferred from the documentation

Think Carmack is faking it too? Some people just have that cadence
