Honestly fuck Anthropic, fuck OpenAI and fuck all the LLM providers.

As soon as I can I'm off to self hosting and providing the service to friends and family via a VPN.

These companies are just ingesting public and frequently private information and regurgitating it back as a service.

As soon as I can run inference locally will do so.

Just look at the maths people whose work was stolen.

You want to benefit the public? Open your weights and training data.

Otherwise FO pretending to have a social conscience, you don't.

Computers can search information space exhaustively.

This is not very exciting

Intel can really make silicon

Beautiful

Gnomon

Just finished "there is no antimemetics division" an absolutely astounding read

Paper clippings

Mmm, delicious

Plague of AI slop.

A senior engineer in an Open Source project told me "I haven't looked at code in months"

In which case what TF is it you even do ?

I want one

Will work for tflops

Jeff surely understands that heat dissipation converting to 10g is unavoidable.

You really need an optical interface for these speeds.

If your job becomes writing complex specs to make an LLM write code, you've not optimised anything.

In fact all you've done is add a business cost.

Don't run spellchecker on their adverts, what is "kernal programming"

Give highly generic position descriptions "innovative company based in your country doing stuff"

Call you up even if you haven't posted a CV in years and ask for a CV

Not listen to you "I'm a contractor, I'm looking for contracts" - "would you consider full time" - "no" . Arrive at interview to find company looking to hire full-time because hey the word "no" means something different in recruiter speak

Being nicer to people. Earlier in my career I was too competitive with other people in team's I worked in. Trying to do all the work, exclude others. It was a function of insecurity maybe.

I've learned, you need to uphold your teammates, make friends and allies.

Lonewolf teams are only ever as productive as one person. Large companies, Intel, Google, want you to act as a multiplier, not an asshole. After all they are paying everybody, not just you. If you are perceived as individually great but rotten in a team, you are simply perceived as rotten in a team.

Learn to make your team and everybody in it look good and you will see your greatest successes.
