The last one was plain old dodgy rust code.

This OpenAI RAM buyout really was a “If we’re going down, we’re taking everyone with us” move.

Is it just me that finds the term “forever chemical” completely meaningless? I have no idea what is trying to be conveyed except something fear inducing.

The problem is PRs / CI tooling. They treat a repo as an independent project, but…:

• A change needs to be able to span multiple repos
• …or you need a way of expressing dependencies between changes in multiple repos
• …and you need to be able to block changes to dependencies that should be non-breaking but aren’t.

Zuul CI solved a lot of these kind of problems for the Openstack project but I’ve personally found it a bitch to setup. Lots of good ideas in it though.

The problem I have with your description is that it abdicates responsibility for what eventually gets generated with a big shrug and “we don’t fully understand why”.

The choice of training data is key to how the final model operates. All sorts of depraved material must be being used as part of the training set, otherwise the model wouldn’t be able to generate the text it does (even if it’s being coached).

It’s clear the “AI race” is all about who gets the power of owning, and therefore influencing, everybody’s information stream. If they couldn’t influence it, there wouldn’t be such a race.

What the hell is the training data for this thing?!

So where are the regulators right now? Oh yes, they’ve all been completely gutted by the governments.

All the lights go out on mine when it overheats, and then there’s a puff of white smoke.

Unbounded capitalism is for sure.

I would say “AI” makes a good poster child for what to fight against. It embodies a lot of what’s wrong.

It’s good for optimisation problems, where you have a complex high-dimensional space to search and you’re solving for some measurable quality.

It’s already there for most of us. It only a few rich companies getting richer that’s making the line go up.

No advantage over Arch IMO.

If you want to play with it, setup a VM.

Well…maybe. You’re not seeing everything that goes through his meme coin.

I call it the Labrador method.

All your codebase belong to us!

Nvidia is less speculation that the other companies mixed up in this. They at least sell physical goods which they’ve been shipping.

Microsoft, Google, X, Meta - Oh boy!

The stat that’s going around at the moment is that 30% if the GDP is transactions between the “Magnificent 7”. That one is fair because it’s economic activity.

The underlying economy is in recession with the AI frosting on top pushing it to break even levels.

There’s a lot less russian money than there used to be.

Yep. World of difference.

One incident of something strange happening resulted in full diagnosis, and a software update that could be applied with about 3 hours downtime for most craft.

I was looking at the picture with the story and thinking “Finally. He looks relaxed!”
