"Someone needs to get complicated about getting simple, to prevent seemingly simple things from getting suddenly complicated. Which makes things simpler for us so that we can move on to things that are more complicated"
It is perhaps rich coming from a dude who just got phished out of his account, but the security implications of not reading compiler output vs not reading LLM output are incomparable.
Compiler errors are additive. LLM errors are multiplicative.
This is because compilers don't make design decisions for you, they only translate a predetermined set of abstractions in very specific ways.
LLMs make high-level design decisions and create their own abstractions -- mistakes in those compound.
Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years.
The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion.
It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes.
Relevant historical bits about the Internet:
1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no.
2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces.
Infrastructure wants to be open.
Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized.
Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.
@lauriewired Economically efficient from the owner of the hardware's perspective, sure. Why would anyone buying hardware for entertainment give a single fuck about FLOP/hour? Do you apply the same logic to your kitchen stove? I sure hope you never cook anything at home and purchase pre-cookd
Folks acting like Valve is a part of the "console wars" and losing with these prices is very funny. Like this is a compact PC, and Valve makes billions with their eyes closed. They legit made this thing for kicks, not because its essential hardware for their business to survive
The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.
The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

En la División de Ciencias Biológicas, ahora reducida a un solo departamento, por la debacle, requieren 22 personas para su personal académico.

Venezuela no es un país conservador, Venezuela es un país retrógrado.
Si fuese conservador la gente le tendría miedo a pecar, pero no.
La misma gente que ha manejado rascáo, o robado en Farmatodo, o montado cacho son los mismos que pósan de anti-wokes.
Dan risa una barbaridad
I hate, hate, hate being forced to watch a video to learn something when I could read at 10x the speed. Videos are for cattle.
"Hey guys, today we'll be talking about X -- X is a fascinating topic, and a lot of you have been requesting I talk about X, so..." - Shut up, Shut up!
i can spot a grifter from miles away.
so i digged into the code to figure out if this is legit or not.
guess i was right.
ben is a crypto founder who runs some weird bitcoin lending platform, i was pretty sure he knows absolutely nothing about ai and memory so i tracked down the repo myself since i was curious.
his website says he likes to build ai powered products and train local ai models? sure man, 80% of your github repo's are bitcoin related stuff. only one ai related project came up you forked in 2024.
mempalace has 10k github stars, more than 1k forks but only.. 7 commits ?
apparently the best memory layer to date?
no git author history, no account connected to whoever wrote the code of this codebase.
it doesn't add up..
the account who pushed the original repo, named: aya-thekeeper, under aya-thekeeper/mempal got deleted right after the repo got published.
you paid a random guy named lu to build this shit out for you.
( "Written by Lu (DTL) — March 24, 2026.
For: Ben." ) - benchmark md file.
lu wrote the code. lu wrote the benchmarks. lu is nowhere in the readme. or mentioned in the github history?
the git history then got squashed to one commit and published under milla jovovich? seriously? a actress?
you say she is a great friend of yours, she has been building this project with you. she does this at night.
yet she has.. 7 commits and only 2 active days in her entire github history?
you paid an actress and a random guy to promote a product you know absolutely nothing about.
@SebAaltonen Do you have any custom graphic pipeline book recommendations? Most of what I've found is Unity/Unreal coupled or over 10y old stuff (I don't even know if they're actually considered old)
Siege was dead because it had 80,000 concurrent. Helldivers II is the most popular game in the world because it has 40,000 concurrent. The Finals is respectably niche because it has 20,000. Marathon is dead because it has 55,000 concurrent.
All of this shit is so stupid bro.
