and I’m over here like “what if we just included a peltier element… but bigger” and then the satellite comes out covered in noctua fans and RGB light strips
it’s weird how they’re pumping this specific bullshit out now that a common talking point is “well you can’t say you hate AI, because the non-generative bits do actually useful things like protein folding”, as if any of us were the ones who chose to market this shit as AI, and also as if previous AI booms weren’t absolutely fucking turgid with grifts too
What LLMs actually do, i.e. Trabant tasks
more of a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep whose battery got left out in the sun too long, but I’ll allow it
what if my vision for the future is zeppelin data centers constantly hovering over the ocean? they’ll have to be modular, of course, and we can scale our deployment by just parallel parking a new zeppelin next to our existing one and using grappling hooks and cargo straps to attach the zeppelins to each other. as you can clearly see, this will allow for exponential growth! and networking is as simple as Ethernet between the zeppelins and dropping an ocean-grade fiber cable off the first zeppelin and splicing that into an intercontinental backbone link. so much more practical than that orbiting data centers idea!
there’s no way you did that without consulting copilot or at least ChatGPT. thank you sam altman for finally enabling me to capitalize whole words in my editor!
“you buffed this because of feedback but maybe a little too much” but I have rarely seen it used to mean other than “this needs a nerf, and I won’t justify my position, but I want to sound like I’m reasonable”
please never let me make the mistake of becoming a game developer; I absolutely would be the guy who closes this ticket with “fuck off gamer” and gets us review bombed by the worst parts of our playerbase
humans are clearly faster at generating utterly banal shit, as proven by your posts in this thread
I’m seriously wondering how much of yud’s most recent crap is an attempt to grift for thiel money and right-wing attention by poorly imitating Yarvin
they don’t do any of that soup shit reliably either and reading the article might have told you that
ah yeah, 10 employees and “worth” $5 billion, utterly normal bubble shit
Sutskever was an early advocate of scaling, a hypothesis that AI models would improve in performance given vast amounts of computing power. The idea and its execution kicked off a wave of AI investment in chips, data centers and energy, laying the groundwork for generative AI advances like ChatGPT.
but don’t sweat it, the $1 billion they raised is going straight to doing shit that doesn’t fucking work but does fuck up the environment, trying to squeeze more marginal performance gains out of systems that plateaued when they sucked up all the data on the internet (and throwing money at these things not working isn’t even surprising, given a tiny amount of CS knowledge)
please be very careful with the VSLAM (camera+sensors) ones, and note carefully that iRobot avoided responsibility for this by claiming the impacted people were testers (a claim the alleged testers appear to disagree with)
