I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Lignux.

@imoutopantsu I don't like the pink grass. But I'm sure there will be a mod in the first 4 hours that will make it look like the Aether and it will be peak then.

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@packetsniffer99 @PositivFuturist They want regulations since they cement current players by making it extremely hard for new competitors to appear. This is why they are begging for regulations. To make you competitors criminals.

@Jason If my country bans Open Source AI, I'm moving.

[Ayush 🙏 @ayushtweetshere]

This is what Dario and Sama fear -

- the cost of fine tuned open source models trained on custom data was 95% less than the frontier models

- And they performed better than the frontier models

- And they could train them in less than 48 hours

The big AI labs have no moat..

Even at the enterprise level..

Any sane company would prefer a custom trained open source model instead of paying API pricing to Anthropic and Open AI

If open source keeps growing at the pace it is, frontier labs' business collapses..

only way out is oldest trick in manipulation - FUD -> Fear, Uncertainty, Death

Step 1 - Seed the psyop

- Test a swarm of agents trained to "hack"
- The swarm does what its supposed to do - hack
- Publish a report - AI is too dangerous

Step 2 - weed out the doubters
- Get an employee to quit your company
- Go viral saying both companies are not doing enough to self regulate AI
- AI is dangerous - will kill humanity by the end of the decade

Step 3 - Prepare for fruition
- write an "essay" to "pace the frontier"
- Advocate regulation
- Only a few holier than though companies get to build AI
- Scare the world into agreeing with AI Doom
- Effectively turn your competitors into criminals (genius business strategy)

Endgame -

- Become a cartel that controls AI (and the world)
- Raise prices (coz business is unsustainable... ofc)
- IPO (offload liability of said unsustainable business to the public)

Laugh all the way to the bank 🤑

Win!

@tekbog NO CRYING AT THE CASINO!

[Micky @Rasmic]

This is not about safety.

It’s more like “open source models are catching up and we should be the only ones who build and have access to intelligence”

There are no good guys here

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

The perfect timing and sequence of events this week has been extremely sus:
1) Harry Doomer unknown random guy algo boosted post to 120M+ views
2) Dem politicians same day fearmongering about AI everywhere
3) MSM picking it up an amplifying it
4) Nate Soares (MIRI) on Tucker
5) UK regulators signing letter to ban ASI
6) The Dario letter asking for Doomer NGOs to have soft power everywhere and asking for world government

We are watching a full-spectrum coordinated campaign to engineer a crisis, manufacture consent for the response, and turn engineered public fear into regulatory capture, indelible institutional power, and unprecedented government control over the future of the most important technology since the dawn of man.

Whether we cave to this engineered pressure and give up our freedoms will determine our collective fate, and whether we live in centrally controlled restrictive future, or remain a free civilization.

We must choose wisely.

Top Tier Shitpost.

I resigned from Khronos Group today. I spent the last three years doing graphics API research at Khronos and Microsoft. Neither of them is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-increasing lines of code per triangle and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Please work! PLEASE WORK! It would make the world a such better place.

@anabology you know what

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@PositivFuturist Funny how the "If ANYBODY builds it everybody dies" crowd only focuses on crippling their own countries and not advocating for a global war to blow up every single leading node fab including foreign ones.

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@judd44519 @flyosity They have engraved Model weights into silicon. This is a special ASIC only ever capable of being this model. It doesn't even have any RAM. The whole model is in the Silicon structure. If you're familiar with FPGAs. GPUs are the FPGA for LLMs this is an ASIC.

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@PositivFuturist I've been advocating for Model specific ASICs since 2022. But current AI attitude is at odds with LLM ASIC approach since LLMs are getting better faster then it would be viable to mass produce LLM ASICs. What if people mass produced Fable/Mythos ASICs just for Astra to release.

@avocado4096 @emmma_camp_ Lol she already has posted a video about it recently and it went viral

Can rent control fix the housing crisis? No. In fact, it could make things a whole lot worse.

@josethevrtech Technically not for its birthday since newcomers don't publicise their new job until the probational period is over. She was already there for some time.

@dhh Have you looked into GNU Guix? I see it as the perfected Nix.

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@PokemonRomania Why are you teaching outdated C++? We have print functions now.

[QUL @QULuseslignux]

@sophiiess_ I'm very glad you are switching to more GNU software (GNU GRUB, GNU Emacs, and GNU Guix). Sadly for the wrong reasons.

You value your little circlejerk more then human Progress.

[MatLab crashes @memecrashes]

I am so tired of seeing these posts.

I am so tired of seeing my beloved field of study be the testing lab for a technology that is disrupting everyday life at such a high pace.

Mathematics were always about the beauty of seeing the ideas of a person unfolded in an extremely precise language so we can all look into a mathematician's mind and see their purest form of ideas, their understanding of a problem, their style, their way of communicating to other fellow researchers through mathematical results... this often transcends the common language humans use to communicate with each other and it is incredibly exciting to bump into shared ideas another person had thousands of kilometers away several years ago without even knowing them.

I am extremely unexcited about AI-breakthroughs in Mathematics in the same way I am extremely unexcited about a picture created by AI or an AI-generated video, not to speak about AI-generated text. Mathematics requires soul and intention. Mathematics need not be useful by definition, Mathematics are pure art that need hard work and effort to understand. The high you get when a year of work gets condensed in a one-page result is incomparable to anything else and, certainly, a machine is not apt to relate to humans in such a humane way.

I am not interested in the truth of the results. I am interested in how was the mind behind a result able to connect those dots. I am interested in the diversity human thoughts bring to Mathematics. I am not interested in a bunch of servers running probabilities to return a Theorem, even if true: that lacks the objective of Mathematics as I see them.

LLMs are a thermonuclear fraudcheck against everyone who was in it for the status games
