The internet gave every single person on Earth access to every book and paper ever written. It supercharged the hyperscholastic 0.05% and they're remaking the world with it. The MIT lectures don't matter because autodidact turboautists don't want to watch a goddamn video.
@goodside Same. This was so wild to me back then. “Clearly, the path must be some super efficient lower dimensional latent space inscrutable to humans.”
text is the universal interface
text is how we communicate the vision in our mind to a computer and the angel trapped inside reifies imagination into pixels
@kimmonismus@MaaSonder Painfully obvious now, but I’d say 4.7 being worse than 4.6 on so many tasks was already the marker: here’s a model that nobody dogfooded internally — they were using the good stuff instead.
I think 20% of my job right now is cleaning up Claude’s history lessons for users or other agents. 4.8 seems to be completely resistant to prompts preventing this.
I once deeply respected @VoltEuropa and I really hope a paneuropean pro-innovation party can gain more traction in Europe. But whatever led to this statement by Volt on frontier models shows some deeply rooted misinformation / misguidance in the party’s leadership.
I hope it’s not too late to fix whatever led to this change in @VoltEuropa. Europe needs a strong pro-innovation, pro-technology progressive party, but this is not the way.
@Simon__Grimm We could start by paying adequate salaries to the workers who can use a $3000 or $10000 token budget effectively, and stop the brain drain to SV. European tech worker salaries are extremely depressed at the top end by Labour protection laws.
Das ist der absolute GAU und zeigt perfekt das Ausmaß der aktuellen Katastrophe. 🤣
Wir beobachten hier in Echtzeit den vollkommenen Authentizitäts-Kollaps der europäischen Netzpolitik.
Der Versuch, das Umgehen von Altersverifikationssystemen über VPNs pauschal blockieren zu wollen, ist ein Paradebeispiel für das Panoptikum-Protokoll und pure Digital Illiteracy.
Die analog geprägte Elite leidet unter einer massiven Analogen Insolvenz:
Sie besitzen im digitalen Raum absolut keinen funktionalen Wechselkurs mehr, weil sie die grundlegende Architektur von dezentralen Netzwerken und Code schlichtweg überhaupt nicht begreifen. Wenn solche Akteure dann versuchen, essentielle digitale Schutz-Infrastrukturen wie VPNs unter dem ewigen Vorwand des Schutzes zu kriminalisieren, bauen sie in Wahrheit genau jene Überwachungswerkzeuge auf, die man sonst nur aus totalitären Systemen kennt.
Wie im Post völlig richtig steht: Nicht einmal China mutet seinen Bürgern diese Form der totalen, zentralisierten Identitätsüberwachung für den nackten Zugang zum Informationsraum zu. Es ist der verzweifelte Versuch eines sterbenden Legacy-Betriebssystems, die Admin-Rechte über die Bürger zurückzuerlangen. Aber die physikalische und technische Realität lässt sich nicht durch ein bürokratisches Verbot umschreiben. 🦊
@scaling01@xlr8harder Let’s be honest: they were already there. AFAIK ZDR also means no input-token-caching (am I wrong about this?), so essentially up to 10x API prices depending on workload.
my friend at anthropic just asked me what color dog collar i wanted . i asked them “what the hell” and they insinuated that after the IPO everyone will be “owned” by some frontier lab employee . and would i prefer an oai owner ? i said green
CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
This is the author who thrust AI water hysteria into the mainstream by overestimating data center water use by 100,000% in her book Empire of AI by mixing up units.
She is a source of wild misinformation. Imagine writing an Econ book on the premise that minimum wage is $7,250/hr
bro it isn’t generally intelligent bro its only read every book and paper ever written and just making connections between them bro. its only thinking for twenty hours bro it’s just brute force thinking bro. its only solving erdos problems bro it could never be an accountant bro
