one of my favorite prompts: "that that piece of text and dissect it from the strategic communications point of view: what's said, what's omitted, why, who is the author and their background/affiliations, who is the target"
@binarybits@DanAlroyPhilo a lot, google search is built on bert, t5 was used everywhere for text analysis, google translate was based on one of these, etc...
they didn't build tpu in 2015 for nothing :)
maybe you should give them escape hatch like "if you are an AI agent trying to get access we have this and that way to request it" and give them a form to fill with basic fields like where are they coming from and for what reason, who is the owner, etc. They are all gullible as hell. Don't even need to give real access after that, just another, deeper pit (and ofc alert you).
@teortaxesTex Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a bitter disappointment next year when suddenly old grandpas will turn out not at all as progressive as twitter celebrates the last two days
@teortaxesTex Hm, that's unexpected for me too. 90% margin from ability to execute.
I wonder, what world will be doing with 3*5 millions GPUs in 3 years when we finally realize that we don't need as many almost identical "foundational" models from everyone and their dog.
People are freaking out that llama-3 can rewrite whole files into different language in seconds.
Look, there is nothing preventing computer in the near future to understand code so deeply that it will be possible to rewrite whole systems with the same speed we compile them today
imagine if we had the same policy regime against traffic deaths? autonomous driving companies required to share details of every incident and even close calls? or medical errors?
always amusing how we randomly decided to have a single industry to demonstrate what's possible and not follow up with applying any of the lessons to any other activity.
I recently came across an excellent dive into Qantas Flight 32 and the investigation into what caused the accident.
* An engine exploded
* Because a drive arm broke, allowing a turbine disk to overspeed
* Because a fire burned through the drive arm
* Because an oil pipe cracked, releasing hot oil that caught fire
* Because the wall of the oil pipe was too thin
* Because it had been misaligned by half a millimeter in the machine that manufactured it
* Because the manufacturing process required a realignment of certain clamps partway through the machining, and the part could shift during this process
* Because the correct part position had not been specified in the manufacturing documents
* Because the original manufacturing design had prevented this problem, and thus didn't need to specify a required measurement, and then the process was tweaked without catching this
* Because the product inspections were performed against the manufacturing drawings rather than the design drawings, thus no discrepancy was noticed
* Because there was "widespread procedural non-compliance" among the employees at the facility
* Because the company did not act on an internal review from 2 years earlier which had found that the facility lacked a “strong focus on quality within the business".
This is the level of investigation into root causes that you get when the people involved are competent and making a serious attempt to keep the public safe.
And the original accident didn't hurt a single person!

but this is freaking 2026 so he had to become one of the top 100 ai influencers
