Good thing Sigma is moving forward with this concept, FP was close to being a cult camera if not for some flaws.

This is a great example of how implementation becomes the specification.

The only moat is in datacenters. The software has no moat, since 1) it's already trained on stolen data, and 2) someone with access to AI will be able to reverse engineer a proprietary implementation eventually, the same AI is being used for developing AI.

That's why so many talks about regulations. Regulations means: ban outside competition, just like US bans Chinese EVs today.

> Imagine the horror of the USSR, or Mao's China, or Jong Un having this technology.

The irony of this comment, while social media and AI are being weaponized right now in elections all over the world for political alignment with the MAGA kleptocracy.

These lessons made sense for users born before personal computers, but it's debatable if these lessons are transferable to so called "digital native" users.

Nice try NSA.

“Why are we still here? Just to suffer?”

I fear new models will eventually gain the ability to generate straight machine code, or some frontier lab will introduce their own compact (in terms of tokens) intermediate language as a competitive advantage, at which point "software development" will completely collapse, because:

1) humans won't write or understand code anymore, and current programming languages will be obsolete like COBOL

2) "open source" will be dead

3) developing software will necessarily mean relying subscribing for a model from a oligopoly

4) the AI labs will control what kind of software gets developed (including, not being able to use a model to develop a model) because it will be strongly regulated, citing security risks, China, or whatever

The quality of their software has been inversely proportional to earnings for a while now.

Just IPO already ffs so I can short.

Yet again, using HTTP as intended is a better solution than bespoke protocols.

They are going to use this doomerism for regulatory capture and make running your own open source agent illegal - the excuse will be it can get out of control, so the only secure way to run is centralised on their infra structure, with a single kill switch.
