I donāt get it, how is every one of the most touted people in the AI space among the least credible people in the industry.
Like literally every time its a person whose name I recognize from something else theyāve done, that something else is something I hate.
Reminds me something F.D. Signifier said on a music podcast.
Progressives are losing the cultural war in a lot of ways, but theyāll always need us because weāre the ones pushing the boundaries on art, and it turns out, no matter how ghoulish people want to act, everyone has genuine love of fucking awesome art. The true loss condition is being captured by the tools of the master.
Listen, Iām just saying that this never wouldāve happened with hg.
If youāre referring to genetic algorithms, those work by giving the computer some type of target to gun for thatās easy to measure and then letting the computer go loose with randomly changing bits from the original object. I guess in your mind, thatād be randomly evolving the codebase and then submitting the best version.
Thereās a lot of problems with the idea of genetic codebase that Iām sure you can figure out on your own, but Iāll give you one for free: ābetter codeā is a very hard thing for computers to measure.
This was a year before the stuff with the Zizians happened too.
Hey thatās unfair, us North Americans are as normal about bikes as weāre normal about cars.
At first I was skeptical of the guy who told me, but they seemed rich and therefore trustworthy.
I donāt want to see grummz anywhere near AI ERP discourse.
Iām just glad all my friends are such smart rational independent thinkers that weāve all independently come to the same conclusion that the status quo is perfect!
The machine I love canāt be dumb, I love the machine and I canāt love what is dumb.
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/50 and of course we already have chatgptfriends on the case of stopping the mean programmer from doing something the Machine doesnāt like. This person doesnāt even seem to understand what anubis does, but they certainly seem confident chatgpt can tell him.
Posting cringe, even intentionally, has little artistry.
Iām sure the man who sleeps with his secretaries on company time has great ideas on how much time I should be in the office.
My big robot is really expensive to build.
If big robot parts become cheaper, I will declare that the big robot must be bigger, lest somebody poorer than me also build a big robot.
My robot must be made or else I wonāt be able to show off the biggest, most expensive big robot.
QED, I deserve more money to build the big robot.
P.S. And for the naysayers, just remember that that robot will be so big that your critiques wonāt apply to it, as it is too big.
There are companies doing ācool-soundingā things with AI like Waymo. āGoodā would require more definition.
If they can convince the money hose that they just need one more OOM of compute bro, they can keep vacuuming infinity dollars. The incentive is obviously there for any amount of lying, but at some point, I assume even the most braindead investors will start asking around if this really is the only game in town.
Or maybe they wonāt, which would be an admission against the core tenet of capitalism, but this has been a crazy year, and itās only january. :/

What I didnāt wager was that, potentially, nobody was trying. My mistake was ā if you can believe this ā being too generous to the AI companies, assuming that they didnāt pursue efficiency because they couldnāt, and not because they couldnāt be bothered.
This isnāt about China ā itās so much fucking easier if we let it be about China ā itās about how the American tech industry is incurious, lazy, entitled, directionless and irresponsible. OpenAi and Anthropic are the antithesis of Silicon Valley. They are incumbents, public companies wearing startup suits, unwilling to take on real challenges, more focused on optics and marketing than they are on solving problems, even the problems that they themselves created with their large language models.
I mustāve read the words āJevonās Paradoxā a hundred times today, I didnāt realize that many people had their livelihood predicated on NVidia going to the moon forevermore.
Iāve been struggling with what the appropriate level of engagement for all the tech shit is.
I can stick to making fun of the AI crap and whatever else the tech people shit out because itās tangible for me, and I can more or less be an effective gatekeeper for my community, but the problems go beyond just a bunch of rich tech weirdos floating bad ideas, itās what theyāre trying to paper over. The fact that theyāre incompetent at it is very funny, but Iāve been laughing with gritted teeth for too long.
Being the worst and the biggest studios arenāt unrelated concepts, theyāre the biggest because theyāre the worst.
