They are trying to give credibility to as value-less asset that’s historically been used for illegal activity, gambling, and predatory selling of said assets to people who don’t understand them.

Tether claiming they have the ability to back up their coins with USD lets crypto people claim their nonsense actually has value.

Of course the entire thing rides on the “trust me bro” guarantees offered by tether. They could erase a lot of the stink by going through an audit but for some reason they won’t.

I’ll believe in stable coins when tether passes an audit.

Actually even then I still consider it nonsense.

Less convincing when you open up by gushing about every other lame AI tech then proceed to insist that this new thing is the real revolution.

Comes across as someone who just wants to shill for AI for some reason.

Because they have a history of abusing their monopoly on browsers to push new standards that only help them.

According to scotus they can just give the judge a thank you gift for doing such a good job.

What states rights, he’s invading cities in flagrant violation of laws and norms.

It speaks to the credibility of the people involved when they claim to protect journalists.

Republicans do disagree on all the things you listed. Every single fucking one.

They are actively working to destroy as much environmental regulation as they can and further the interests of fossil fuel corporations.

So already overburdened teachers can have to deal with flunking half the class and parents getting mad at them for it?

Why criticize the employees when you have no clue what their day to day is like?

There’s a reason why leadership and the leadership principles are mocked. They vary from okay to kinda dumb to just outright silly.

> they could probably come up with several services which Amazon already has internally

I feel like the myth that AWS is just internal Amazon stuff exposed externally has done so much heavy lifting despite never really being true.

Are you really trying to argue Tesla is fairly valued? In 2025?

When their sales have nosedived, new products have flopped, their CEO is the most disliked man in America, and their self driving still requires someone in the car at all times?

Tesla is a GameStop level meme stock.

I doubt it.

Some will be used a lot will be written off and tossed away.

She was selected because he promised a woman of color and she was the obvious choice from that pool.

These people would willingly expose their child to diseases that cause death or lifelong health problems.

They are not fit parents.

More likely they continue with the policies that just destroyed the CDC. More likely they continue to go forward with policy based on petty grievances because they are fascist morons who want to see people die.

I’d characterize it as someone who wants to defund mRNA research, because that’s literally what you said he wants to do.

But I’m not a fascist trying to justify the total destruction of the CDC anti-vaxxer dipshits.

Biden literally campaigned on “nothing will fundamentally change”.

Why would people think his VP would suddenly be different.

Add in her proven unpopularity and the fact that they didn’t run a primary and you have a perfect recipe for a total disaster.

How exactly do you presume to make an argument about thought and whether or an LLM exhibits genuine thought and intelligence without philosophy?

Not to mention the effect of formal logic in computer science

It doesn’t develop any thinking, it’s just predicting tokens based on a statistical model.

This has been demonstrated so many times.

They don’t make mistakes. It doesn’t make any sense to claim they do because their goal is simply to produce a statistically likely output. Whether or not that output is correct outside of their universe is not relevant.

What you’re doing is anthropomorphizing them and then trying to explain your observations in that context. The problem is that doesn’t make any sense.

We see massive initial growth followed by a slowdown constantly.

There is zero reason to think AI is some exception that will continue to exponentially improve without limit. We already seem to be at the point of diminishing returns. Sinking absurd amounts of money and resources to train models that show incremental improvements.

To get this far they have had to spend hundreds of billions and have used up the majority of the data they have access to. We are at the point of trying to train AI on generated data and hoping that it doesn’t just cause the entire thing degrade.

And as people get more used to the patterns of AI it’s getting called out more and more.

Did they have people who have built an OS before?

I’ve seen this firsthand. These giant tech companies try to just jump into a massive new project thinking that because they have built such an impressive website and have so much experience at scale they should just be able to handle building a new OS.

In my case it wasn’t even a new OS it was just building around an existing platform and even that was massively problematic.

The companies that build them from scratch have had it as one of their core competencies pretty much from the start.

I’m unsurprised meta had issues like this.

limited liability has been a disaster for the entire human race.

Yes, I spent years working on exactly that. I personally was working with a compiler team to validate changes to eliminate non-determinism. That’s why I felt qualified to make the statement I did.

It’s non trivial because you have to back through decades of tools and fix all of them to remove non determinism because they weren’t designed with that in mind.

The hardest part was ensuring build environment uniformity but that’s a lot easier with docker and similar tooling.

I don’t disagree, but was Louisiana chosen because it offers cheap energy/cooling/infra or because the government doesn’t bother to ask questions about the impact to thinks like energy and water usage (which is why we are seeing more and more reports of residents upset about pollution, water usage, and energy costs).

No, it’s just an attempt to pretend wrong outputs are some special case when really they aren’t. They aren’t imagine something that doesn’t exist they are just running the same process they do for everything else and it just didn’t work.

If you disagree then I would ask what exactly is the “specific behaviour” you’re talking about?

Isn’t that why people argue against calling them hallucinations?

It implies that some parts of the output aren’t hallucinations, when the reality is that none of it has any thought behind it.

It’s not trivial largely because we didn’t bother to design deterministic builds because it didn’t seem to matter. There is not much about the actual problem that makes it difficult.

It’s funny how people acknowledge the railroads and the similarity to AI, but then jump back to comparing it to the internet when it comes to drawing conclusions.

The internet build out left massive amounts of useful infrastructure.

The railroads left us with lots of railroads that fell into disuse and eventually left us with a complete joke of a railway system. Made a few people so rich we started calling them robber barons and talking the gilded age.

Are we going to continue to use the 60 billion dollar data centers in Louisiana when the bubble bursts? Is it valuable infrastructure or just a waste of money that gets written off?

Yeah immediate thought was “well one is US intelligence”

Realistically, one is US intelligence and the other is US military.
