@antoniogm Those only appear for Americans though

@BillWiIdin Better still, eat out in literally any other country in the world (except Canada), where tipping is an occasional practice for extra good service or in many places just not a thing

[Joady @Joadys]

It's modelling data predicing the future and attributing the cause to humans (as opposed to the climate change that has always naturally occured).
Is some caused by humans? Probably
Is it all us? Of course not.
Are western countries still a significant factor? Definitely not.
Don't tell me to "trust the science bro", that doesn't wash anymore. The scientific method is a process of constant questioning everything that is not a 100% provable fact

@ai_sentience 4.1 was such a fabulous model. I used it in a couple of apps that I built and day-to-day as well. It's a pity it it was deprecated. Just hope that 4.5 is a great model.

[Joady @Joadys]

I kind of agree, yes, but I think they're just going to be one model, possibly without even a fine tune added to one. It might be 4.5 and 4.5 coder. I'm not sure which name they'll use but I think it's going to be the same model with maybe maybe a coding emphasis in one of them but maybe not.

[Joady @Joadys]

The elephant in the room is if the top-line Mythos type models get restricted to only trusted companies or Americans or trusted allies and it becomes harder for the Chinese models to continue their massive distillation and synthetic data projects. Will they fall away, given their comparative massive lack of advanced chips and how incredibly far back Huawei chips are for training, although they're okay for lower-level inference. That's the main issue for me

[Joady @Joadys]

@robinebers 100%. Even at a much smaller multiple of time * value, the difference between the top models and pretty good open source models doesn't math out. And even a 2% difference in output quality over multiple itterations starts adding up to a much worse outcome very quickly

[Joady @Joadys]

@kimmonismus @quxiaoyin I know that was the claim, but the rumour is that the claim was for PR to satisfy the government's requirement for all AI labs to heavily use Huawei chips. You can't be seen to thumb your nose at the CCP's indiginous chip roadmap and survive long in China

[Joady @Joadys]

@quxiaoyin Huawei is years away. Without ASML's machines, likely much longer

@Flaming_Star59 @tynewrc Can you "sense" the temperature in this part of Italy from Germany?

[Joady @Joadys]

@mamboitaliano__ That colouring makes it look like it's literally 100°C instead of only 100°F. 100°F is just not that hot.

[Joady @Joadys]

@leanhealth I swam in the Mediterranean this morning (and every morning for the last month) and I can promise you it's no warmer than usual

[Joady @Joadys]

@LinusEkenstam @grok According to records, ice core samples, etc. What was the coldest period of the last 10,000 years?

[Joady @Joadys]

@mainichigerman In on the Ionian coast and it's not humid here at all. Humidity is far worse than heat to deal with which is one of the reasons we love it here

[Joady @Joadys]

My fear is that the Mythos class models will not just be for Americans. They will be limited to select companies and the companies will have to prove that they have used them for internal use only. If any American can get access, of course the Chinese model builders will also get access.

[Joady @Joadys]

I think if the Chinese lose access to the main closed-source labs models, then their massive and constant distillation and synthetic data projects based on the American closed labs models are going to suffer. Therefore their models are going to suffer because they don't have the hardware to produce the cutting-edge models themselves without the distillation and without the synthetic data
