It's also every textbook on philosophy, psychology, political science, etc. Even if you just believe in the stochastic parrot, there's signal here.

If LLM technology is going to shake out a bunch of scientific discoveries because it's trained on all disciplines simultaneously - isn't the same true for philosophy and psychology?

In any 1 given LLM it could just be a quirk of its weights. This isn't a machine opinion, it's what training data points at. Training data created by human academics studying human behavior.

I bet they're building a personal defense AI and the early adopters they're hoping for arent on Windows

I don't think it's a stretch to see a systemic pattern of big tech avoiding consequences that leave the rest of us in the power of monopolies.

Regardless of the content of this ruling, it's another brick in the wall.

Are the people against bioengineered produce also be against us working towards super efficient coconuts or some other plant we designed to fill the same role?

There's a good chance that Blizzard was spared a lot of this round of layoffs because they're in labor contract negotiations right now.

I bought one of this system back when you could get one for $1800 (the GMKTek Ryzen AI Halo 128gb machine). It's a very good dev machine, the 16 core CPU is quite good for development work. I find this is a useful configuration for local LLMs with plenty of RAM left over for doing actual work on the system (split something like 64 system, 64 dedicated to LLMs).

I don't think I'd pay $4k for it today though, 2 years ago and less than half the price feels like a good machine. I'd be very disappointed in it today for $4k.

"AI has evolved more rapidly in the past two years than anyone predicted."

We clearly do not live in the same universe.

Literally anyone with the access to these people would be someone making bank. Do you think Cheryl Sandberg would bother to talk to a poor person?

That's kinda the nature of whistle-blowing. You're complicit, you have inside knowledge and THEN you choose to do the right thing. Snowden worked for the NSA before he exposed their lies about spying on US citizens, you think he did literally no work towards that end before blowing the whistle?

Why is this being presented to the HN community?

I really hope not, but I wouldn’t bet against it. The nature of products that take high capex to build and then have nearly zero marginal cost to reproduce is monopolies.

As a game developer, I'm really rooting for open source game engines.

Unity and Unreal are dinosaurs that target the shrinking console market. Godot is being built in their image. My hope is that something more versatile like Bevy becomes common so that we have something that could potentially compete with the next generation of Roblox.

Worse than that, the main vehicle it compares everything to is the Model Y. There may have been one or two things related to Tesla this year, and not other EVs, that might have hurt resale values for some reason...
