@thephilippics has it always been like this or has it exponentially increased?
only recently have i noticed how wild things are

[Moore's Law Is Dead @mooreslawisdead]

The answer is a resounding "yes", and the only people "divided" by this question are the business idiots who never really got that this was a bubble in the first place. It is. Meta is an early loser. It's going to pop.🫧

I'll say it again: 2027 prices will NOT be 2026 prices...

Giving government officials the power to decide who gets access to frontier models on a discretionary basis is a recipe for corruption in addition to inefficiency.

Spare me your arguments, guilt trips, and slander, we shouldn't be forced to support this with our tax dollars.

@NicoleGrajewski the political optics games is gonna cloud this sadly
I think there is a lot of domestic politics that will drive this
The experts and foresight people will be on the side

@brandan_buck @Hoffman8Jon I think some of it is that they embrace the myth of the city on a hill or indispensable nation

@SevaUT i don’t know if the models are ready yet to help with theory. I was using a Qwen3 model locally and it could not get theory right at all. Gemma4 was at least better.

the context windows are too small for it

[Kevin Doremus @k_doremus]

@SevaUT for me, deep search has given surface level lay of the land which has been helpful for students for their thesis

it also helped me troubleshoot an issue when our methods taught regression. Everything looked normal on the surface, but they did something to the excel file.

[Seva @SevaUT]

what can AI actually do for social science, beyond cranking out empirical papers? can it actually help with theory? I'm still skeptical, but the answer is more complicated than I initially thought. (link in reply)

[Seva @SevaUT]

Russia's economy and society have been reorganized around war. There are now powerful domestic incentives that make ending the war difficult and even dangerous for Russia’s president.
