Wow, Kimmel getting canceled wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.
They say during the gold rush, the people selling shovels made more money than the miners themselves. AI has a similar pattern. Those profiting from AI hype it relentlessly. Meanwhile the butthurts with nothing to sell become the loudest critics, just to stay relevant.
We get it guys. AI sucks and you don't like it. You need not turn yourself into a parrot. Nobody's in the market for your outrage.
Everything is wrapper copper, iron, salt, and water
I think Signal is the safest choice. If you want to be absolutely sure, host your own service, and hope you know how to make it have airtight security.
Hey now, some of those things are actually useful.
A lot of people failed to see Hitler’s point of view as well. That didn’t stop the trains though.
One can never tell what twisted logic they’re using to justify their actions.
But I had a two hour conversation with ChatGPT and we couldn’t come up any scenario where I didn’t end up winning.
They have one goal: $$
Haven’t we learned that ethics are subjective.
A house built on weak foundation is bound to fall, or at least tilt.
Have you considered that maybe the outrage is about what the research results contain?
Social media algorithms are tuned to maximize engagements and this is easily done by keeping the user happy. This creates echo chambers and ends up polarizing users. Not everyone gets polarized but a vast majority of users become victims of confirmation bias, which leads to an increasingly fragmented and divisive society. Am I wrong?
That may be true for independent devs or startups. Larger companies have enough demand to justify a few A/H100s.
If developers and enterprises can host their own OSS/fine-tuned models, why will they pay Anthropic or OpenAI?
I'm not sure "failed" is quite the right word. There are plenty of forums still thriving in specific niches. But yeah, they definitely lost their position as the dominant form of online community.
Could fragmentation be the reason? In forums, every topic has its own little island with separate accounts, different sites/rules/interfaces. Compare that to just posting in a subreddit or Facebook group where you're already logged in. Switching websites requires mental work that social media doesn't.
They prefer HEADers to be honest.
Because Department of pillage and plunder will be too obvious.
Can anyone (outside of Apple) tell if they haven’t done anything with these models yet?
For all we know, OpenELM could be powering some very critical service within Apple’s massive stack.
Starting a war as a distraction. Have we seen this done before?
Might I add that Facebook has also proven time and time again that they believe in zero ethics. They will happily boost a dictator’s post. They’ll happily assist a rapist win elections. They’ll happily let you sell addictive content to kids. Heck they’ll even give you easy ways to target ads to “depressed 14 year old girls” specifically.
Did you have to take a pay cut? Asking for a friend.
I speak to my friends and family in India on a daily basis, I also visit India almost every year and I stand by every word I wrote above. If you think life in India is up to the standard of living of any other developed country, then you need to educate yourself.
> why move be an alien in US
I think you may have missed the whole point about USA. Nobody is an alien in this country, a lot of people would life to make you feel that way, but I know a lot of people from Sikkim regularly get asked where in China are they from.
I can only speak about myself, I come from a lower middle class family in India and probably was the poorest in my school. Now, I am at senior position in large well established tech company and definitely doing better than any of my class mates back in India.
My family still lives in India and I am amazed how tough their life is when dealing with every day things.
My life is so much better than my sister's who lives in Pune and also works in a similar position for a tech company. She would move to US in a heartbeat but has some personal issues.
This is how bad conditions in India are, my mother, who lost her husband when she was 34, worked all her life and raised 2 kids on her own. After several decades of employment, she needed to withdraw some money out of her PF account. She had to bribe at least 4 guys and pay a total of 20,000INR to be able to withdraw money from her account, her own hard earned money.
Life in India is pretty bad, I do believe us Indians have a "chalta hai" attitude and a lot of problems are just shoved under the rug or considered "yahan aise hi kaam hota hai" (this is how things are done here) category.
I would want India to be the same as US where I have lived now for more than 15 years and Bollywood movies keep promising me that India today is so much like any other developed country, but my 15 visits in the last 15 years break every one of those promises.
Back to the original point, no financially a person earning at the same position in India vs US is not any better off by a huge margin.
Now if your point was is it worth it moving from Germany or Australia to US, then the answer is completely different answer.
India is not there yet, a lot of work needs to be done, a lot of change needs to happen. If people in India start believing that they have arrived then they will be doing themselves a hige disservice.
