> I’ll find you a buyer…I just—enough,’ Altman said on Gerstner’s podcast.”

Hopefully nobody reading this has experienced it: these are the words of a true sociopath/addict.

"I'm mad you questioned me" is fucking classic.

I told dang I was out and I am after this. Sorry dang.

Isn’t that the current status quo?

You understand that an LLM can only poorly regurgitate whatever it’s fed right? An LLM will _always_ be less useful than a primary/secondary source, because they can’t fucking think.

[flagged]

You’re right. Nothing resembling ”I” exists when shat out from an LLM.

I’ve never worked in such a space where the deployed environment had unfettered internet access, no access at all actually.

I’ve probably missed a huge wave of programming technology because of this, and I’ve figured out a way to make it work for a consistent paycheck over these past 20 years.

I’m also not a great example, I think I’ve watched 7 whole hours of YouTube videos ever, and those were all for car repair help.

I shy away from tech that needs to be online/connected/whatever.

I believe that the M in LLM stands for model. It is a statistical model, as it always has been.

C++11 fucking with strings also comes to mind.

I have small amounts of eczema on unfortunate spots. It comes and goes usually based on stress and inflammation. Been dealing with it for decades. It stinks.

I’m half tempted to buy myself a copper plate to stand on.

Going to college usually means you work the same job after college, just with a lot more debt.

The headline is flawed, nothing that exists today is relatively close to “AI” unfortunately.

I thought that, an an American. Then I went to Paris in 2013, and realized it was a learned trait!

Remember: if you have a phone, you have a lawyer.

As long as you realize this is opinion, sure thing.

> America just sucks for foodies who don't have unlimited time to get through the slop.

I think by definition, being a “foodie” means you have, and enjoy finding, the time to sort the wheat from the chaff. Nobody has unlimited time for anything.

“I want to be be a ‘foodie’ but really I just want to be judgy” is a weak argument.

At the morning standup:”OK team I need all of you to post positive reviews and use your network to accomplish that as you see fit.”

Yeah, it’s like saying Netflix doesn’t create value, or Universal Pictures doesn’t create value. I do not agree with the GP. As far as I can tell, openAI has created very, very negative value as of today, financially.

Correct, they have been around for a lot longer than rust.

Is this a “you’re holding it wrong, you idiot” post?

Good to know, maybe I’ll give it a whirl. I’d been under the (mistaken, apparently) impression that if one didn’t update monthly they were going to have a bad time.

Quote your numbers.

> Rust needs to mature a little more, stop changing so fast, and move further toward being old and boring.

Talking about C99, or C++11, and then “oh you need the nightly build of rust” were juxtaposed in such a way that I never felt comfortable banging out “yum install rust” and giving it a go.

So the whole crypto anonymity thing isn’t actually real? As it turns out, tracing people is still easier than tracing money? Decentralized economies are run by criminal enterprises?! We aren’t safe!?!

Wonder how this whole concept overlays onto LLMs, with a lot more money on the line and a lot less regulation.

Like… China?

People. People happened. Ideologies and strong opinions.

Most countries don’t do it, including the US.

“Ready and willing” is quite the turn of phrase.

So, you agree?

Are you tracking that harvesting REM is a nasty business with a lot of “don’t look” environmental impacts? As such, most countries don’t do it, or have an infrastructure for it.

> As you can imagine, when you’re the vendor, the customer and the investor in a company, there’s a strong incentive to artificially inflate the numbers by signing preferable contracts that use very large numbers, and then round-trip the capital.

That about sums it up.
