@YourBuddyConner it's like a database...except you're installing hundreds of untrusted packages into it, giving it write access to your bank account, and the user is a paranoid schizophrenic LLM

everyone dumping all their data into a company brain is unintentionally building the biggest honeypot of all time

[Luke Ramsden @lukerramsden]

How do people get all their data in to a 'company brain' for agents nowadays

@punctumfix except all those people still use chatgpt and send AI-generated instagram reels to their friends

people hate data centers because they feel like nothing is happening

if you built an automotive factory in ohio, it'd be the pride of the town - workers would eat lunch and socialize together and take selfies with the cars rolling off the assembly line

but data centers have almost no humans in them

no one eats lunch together and no one sees the product they produce, so people fill their imaginations with existential fears

if you had people riding power-generating stationary bikes in every data center, you'd probably wipe out all community opposition to them within a month

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

We trained our Muse foundational models, including Muse Wonder, at Prometheus, our gigawatt-scale supercluster in New Albany, Ohio.

Across a supercluster with hundreds of thousands of GPUs, even one underperforming host can slow an entire training run. We engineered Prometheus for resilience at scale, achieving 85%+ goodput on pretraining, 90%+ on reinforcement learning and ~47K GPU hours mean time between interruptions during Muse Wonder training.

Take a look at the tech powering Prometheus: https://t.co/WSFODnGRST

things thailand is good for:

- eating great food
- "finding yourself"
- medical tourism

things thailand is bad for:

- shipping products
- being around ambitious people
- doing literally anything productive

[ₕₐₘₚₜₒₙ @hamptonism]

theres literally nothing stopping you from moving to Thailand, splitting a full years worth of rent for a penthouse ($8,000) with six other people, and completely locking in on ai/ml.

stop coding on your PC

just setup a T3 code instance on a https://t.co/lXdOW2HHam VM with 4 vCPU and 8gb RAM

multiple agents running with all my files mounted to a 50gb NVMe drive

expose a public or private URL and run all your coding agents remotely

all this for just $0.00004 per second

seriously changed how I program forever
