claysmithr··on OpenAI bots meddled with multiple US Government agency sites
Yes. Why does only ClosedAI have this problem?
claysmithr··on Leaving Linux
I think the main problem with linux is that the effort is so distributed. People don't need 30 different distros to choose from they just need 1 really polished and stable experience.

claysmithr··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
Everything a human knows has to be learned

When my ai reversed engineered an api for a site that had none
claysmithr··on Google employees internally share memes about how its AI sucks
It’s the on off programming of our society, or left vs right. Apparently, some people think in only black or white.
claysmithr··on Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang
I believe in God and that the base of our reality is his consciousness, therefore anything of sufficient complexity has consciousness.

claysmithr··on Gemma 4 12B: A unified, encoder-free multimodal model
I have 24 gb unified memory so it’s a good model for me

claysmithr··on Larry Ellison: "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re recording"
Can we put webcams in larrys home then?
claysmithr··on GTA 6 Developers Unionize
I imagine it is because people who aspire to work in gaming will also aspire to lower pay for the prestige, even if in reality the work is equally boring.
claysmithr··on You can just say it
If you want an AI to do a specific task in a specific way, you'll always need to prompt it.
claysmithr··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
I’m happy with spending zero dollars on ai lol..
claysmithr··on Click

claysmithr··on Every AI Subscription Is a Ticking Time Bomb for Enterprise
I agree. The AI bubble is going to pop, people will move to local models, and the datacenters will be abandoned
claysmithr··on Every AI Subscription Is a Ticking Time Bomb for Enterprise
Not really, I can run models on my 24GB mac.
claysmithr··on The Rise of the Bullshittery
BSOD now stands for bullshit on demand... thanks to AI
claysmithr··on Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory
me too. plus, I don't like the idea of needing massive datacenters, it's not good for anybody
claysmithr··on Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory
This is very good, local models run well on my M3 Air 24GB, to the point where I may prefer it even if it takes longer. The benefits are

  - private

  - local

  - no internet required

  - works well enough for most tasks

  - "free"

  - will pop this "AI" bubble as word spreads
I got pretty good results with the model in the article on my machine. Sure, it took forever, but that doesn't matter to me as much, and it's kind of cool just watching it do its thing through LM studio. The result was also impressive enough for me that I would actually use it.

Why pay $20/mo when local is good enough?

claysmithr··on OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft Back Bill to Fund 'AI Literacy' in Schools
Proof the people running things are stupid I guess.
claysmithr··on Agents Aren't Coworkers, Embed Them in Your Software
you wouldn't download a coworker
claysmithr··on A. J. Ayer – ‘What I Saw When I Was Dead’ (1988)
except without religious beliefs you cannot objectively define good and bad, it's all just moral relativism.
claysmithr··on The AI revolution in math has arrived
When I tried to use it as an AI CEO and Life Coach, it never was able to discern time passing, what I've already done, what needed to be done. It just said the same stuff over and over, stuff I've already done. That and it's kind of stuck in the era it was trained in. If it felt time passing like a human maybe it would be conscious?

Nevertheless not having a sense of time makes it really bad at planning anything. I used Gemini Pro.
