@AlecStapp Why is "number of things launched into space" a positive metric?

[Tom @handychimp]

@8teAPi Except it's all BS pedalled to sell a product. We will not have this. 👍

@mike64_t @francoisfleuret They always fail at the elegance too

@FreedomFan69 Did someone miss the joke? Or is this just bait? 🤣

This doesn't solve the core issue (pun intended) of the unsustainable direction that AI is taking -- using huge models for things that can be done with smaller, more efficient ones.
You simply don't need an LLM for everything, even if it's nuclear 😬

@svpino There isn't a major learning barrier to using copilot or alternatives. It is unlikely to tank your career. Not knowing how to write/review code is more likely to.

@Zokko18 @jwsal It was his decision to follow parliamentary guidelines which say he should?

Context is lost on you I fear.

@AlecStapp Read: the US has a bubble.

Market valuation of start ups is not a measure of R&D.

[Tom @handychimp]

@colin_fraser Sounds like he is in a race against Twitter

[Tom @handychimp]

@amir Because developers are lazy. Yep.

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK I'll take "Things Daniel can't get" for 500 please

[Tom @handychimp]

1) release new chat gpt with overhype promises about it's performance
2) get a load of fan boys to build on that hype
3) open source model does comparably well in benchmarks
4) people realise the marketing hype you sold was just bullshit
5) repeat

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK No thanks cba

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK Yes I didn't deny that. I said it sounded like an overdramatic way of saying it. I at no point have said I agree with the statement. 🙄

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK You're argument is incoherent, and probably not a good idea to admit committing war crimes on twitter even if you didn't. 👍

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK Yes I guess if you see every single lesson as indoctrination unless it fits your world view then you would hear it like that.

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK I think the point here is very much that participating in a war does not make one an expert in war crimes. Particularly if you're saying what you are. There's a reason you aren't heading up tribunals at The Hague.

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK I think it's a very dramatic way of saying "we will teach the holocaust as a more prominent part of our curriculum"

[Tom @handychimp]

@D8N13L_TH0M85 @laura8blum @Keir_Starmer @HolocaustUK Methinks one does not understand what a war crime is

[Tom @handychimp]

@danishacarterr Except men do make their own communities based around this. It's probably not best to make generalisations based on Twitter replies and a belief that everyone can process emotions in the exact same way.
