We already know AGI isn’t possible with LLM technology but looking past this, what I despise in the current state of AI tech journalism is the loop of:

• AI stakeholder/spokesperson says something unrealistic
• Journalist nods their head approvingly
• Article is virtually an ad that recounts an event
• Rinse and repeat

Too many tech enthusiasts masquerading as ‘journalists’ who seemingly suffer from short-term memory loss.

It’s like i’m seeing the same information on repeat because ‘journalists’ fall for the same marketing tactics endlessly and do little to actually question what they hear.

is it that impressive? I’m guessing it’s just a layer of speech-to-text then token parsing like usual.

we’re standing on a cliff watching people get swept away by a big wave and you keep clarifying to all the onlookers that it’s actually called a tsunami.

forest from the trees dude.

Anthropic is likely to tell investors that it sees its total addressable ​market (TAM) exceeding $30 trillion, ahead of the $28.5 ‌trillion estimate from SpaceX (SPCX.O), the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

they’re predicting to sell GREATER THAN $30 trillion because they’re overvaluing a business that has no pathway to profitability.

It also isn’t ’way overblown’ because in no way is this standard behaviour in a market. To me it looks like a pump and dump with more steps.

keep in mind that would be enough to solve homelessness in virtually any nation

My take is that the Saudis were incredibly fortunate to be sitting on a resource that has had inelastic demand for decades. So fortunate in fact that they didn’t get good at anything else that wasn’t related to oil.

They’ve known for some time that the oil reserves can’t sustain them forever so they’ve dabbled in investments in various industries with lacklustre results.

Their recent foray into gaming is symbolic of this. An industry that bleeds cash without the creative talent that underpins it. I mean Microsoft is a good example of when ‘business’ intersects with the production of art.

mark zuckerberg must have the hardest time making any sort of genuine human connection.

basic rule for life (and messing with computer hardware / software) - it’s inevitable that you will have times that are challenging and difficult but if you work through the problems you’ll come out the other side with more experience under your belt.

You may have zero knowledge now but I can already tell that the desire to improve is there.

We all start somewhere.

it’s not a test bro just go watch it

OpenAI is trying to artificially plump themselves up before going for IPO. They “attacked” a vendor that dispenses LLM and LLM-adjacent products that are similarly aligned with OpenAI’s goals. It almost seems like it was a coordinated event to generate a sense of mystique around their premier models (à la Anthropic with Mythos).

literally said at the conference last week that we don’t need people we need more agents to get rid of the people.

this cunt is high off his own supply and is barely held accountable for the contradictions he makes

if we’re assuming that they can actually achieve what they’re saying (and not doing a pump and dump) the market would have already shifted infrastructure-wise and the cost to setup would have increased.

We’d be presuming that Allbirds owns their warehousing space. For all I know they could be drop-shipping from third-party warehousing.
