Yeah, part of me wonders how much of it is shared delusion and how much is just cut throat racing for the exits.

Even if the tech + business fundamentals don't match reality, there's just so momentum in favor of a "win" here.

What we have today is interesting tech, with many, many applications - but the path to the kinds of things mentioned in this prospectus have no clear path, it seems like scaling laws are plateauing, but those invested speak as if it's a foregone conclusion we get AI we see in science fiction movies.

There is a good documentary called "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" which documents how computing started, the touted benefits (it would fix society, all illnesses, liberate humanity from work) - and the slow decline in optimism towards what we have today. I feel like AI will play out the same way.

why do you think that?

Do cloud providers have a lock-down mode where you can press 1 button and stop all spend?

Having had to use Meta Ad Manager recently, it's all starting to make sense.

If you continue down this path, your golden goose is COOKED

What were the signs for you to get checked out?

If you are interested in tech outside of consumer electronics lobsters is a good alternative to here.

not giving them a chatbot

It weirdly download an ONNX model to your browser, complete with config and tokenizer haha. First load was 50mb for me.

Am I wrong in thinking Battersea is absolute murder to travel too as well? Theres one line to a tiny station and it gets overcrowded a lot.

I do think there should be regulation. I think OpenAI specifically should be disallowed from further training runs until they can show competence.

RubyGems should sue the everliving daylights out of OpenAI for this.

i've never seen such a damning indictment of a language.

Most large tech companies are just job programmes, i've seen so much effort, time, cost go into things that are truly unimportant.

React Native gives you (with asterisks) - one "source" for things to go wrong (as it sits on top of the native implementations of the UI + Native APIs). You are writing at that source level, and that filters down to the native builds. I am WELL aware to do certain things on each platform you need to get your hands dirty, but most apps are just serialising JSON from a database and displaying it.

AI writes very buggy, sloppy code.

They've decided - instead of containing that code to 1 surface, they would now have 2 surfaces they throw slop on top of.

I look forward to the 2027 version of this where they've gone back

> leaving aside the idea that OA might've used data from the researchers Codex sessions

Why leave that aside? That is _the_ story.

If a Chinese research lab did this we'd call it espionage.
