It bears the same hallmarks as any other addict: the next hit has to be even bigger than the last, and everyday enjoyments in life are practically invisible to them. Their drug of choice may be different, but the outcome on their life, relationships and society is largely the same.

Got it, professionals don't fine tune their models and you can do everything via prompt engineering and some script called optimze.py that fiddles with API parameters for your call to OpenAI. So simple!

The absolute worst place to be right now is in a B tech startup. Not only do you need to build some kind of app or product, you also need to build some kind of AI feature into the product. The users don't want it and never asked for it. It sucks all the resources out of your actual product that you should be focusing on, doesn't actually work or works non deterministically, but you are held to the same standards if it was another kind of software. And the only lever you have to pull is a lengthy model re-training or fine tuning/development cycle. The suits don't understand AI or what it takes to make it successful. They were sold on the hype that AI is going to save money, and forgot to budget for the team of AI engineers you'll need, infrastructure for training, extensive data annotations and reams of data that most startups don't have.

Tell me again how this isn't pure hell and the cuck chair?

It's only a matter of time before ICE starts cracking down on Amazon Fulfillment Centers...

And that's exactly why they threw the book at her. It's paradoxical, all judges say they want you to come clean and show remorse. But every case I've ever seen, they always go much harder on those that admit their wrongdoings. I'm not agreeing either way, it's just an observation.

The best legal strategy is to show no remorse and to never admit any guilt even if you have been convicted.

$500 a month for two environments with 4 CPUs and 8 GB of memory is diabolical. The only thing more expensive and with worse performance than AWS is Azure.

A child of 5 could do this! Now fetch me a child of 5!

How is it slop? If you look closely and get over yourself for a moment, it has a powerful political message.

The conflict between the Skibidi Toilets (with human heads sticking out of toilets) and the Camera/TV/Speaker-headed humans can be seen as a metaphor for how people consume and spread media. The toilets constantly repeat a hypnotic song ("Skibidi dop dop yes yes"), representing mindless media repetition and viral trends. The Camera Men symbolize those who "watch" or document reality —- observers trying to preserve truth amid absurdity.

It has themes of media control, surveillance, and propaganda, a battle over who shapes what people see and believe.

This is a really easy problem to solve. You simply fetch those documents and add them to the context, or use another LLM to summarize them if they are too large. Then, have another fact checking LLM be the judge and review the citations.

Are you joking? You obviously never worked with Microsoft, or been a part of any of their deals. OpenAI absolutely will not get anything special. In fact, because of all the attention, they will probably even get worse service than a regular user. It makes no sense, but that's how they operate.

There are more issues than just the lack of physical movement while you experience visual movement being uncomfortable and disorientating.

Most people who play video games do so as a leisure activity. It works because it allows you to be put into a world that requires little physical exertion - just eye/hand coordination. You don't need to to use your legs to jump in a video game. You don't even need to have legs.

In the vision of VR you're selling, it requires getting up and doing a lot of physical movement. The bulk of most gamers just want to play their game after work or school and relax. Most of my friends feel the same way about VR as they did when I was young and wanted them to play with the NES power pad when I was younger.

There are better, more entertaining options available on the 2D screen that don't require much physical movement. In fact, I'd say that anything other than eye/hand movement distracts from game play. "Jumping" in the video game isn't fun because you actually have to jump, it's fun because you don't. And that's a feature that appeals to people who will never be appealed to VR.

That's not required. All that is required is becoming a sole source of labor, or a source that is the only realistic choice economically.

If you ask me, that's the real long game on AI. That is exactly why all these billionaires keep pouring money in. They know it's the only way to continue growth is to start taking over large sections of the economy.

How does it make sense to trade one group of labor (human) who are generally loosely connected, having little collective power for another (AI)? What you're really doing isn't making work more "efficient", you're just outsourcing work to another party -- one who you have very little control over. A party that is very well capitalized, who is probably interested in taking more and more of your margin once they figure out how your business works (and that's going to be really easy because you help them train AI models to do your business).

I hope they are prepared for lots of headaches, random outages, slow (did I say S-L-O-W) tooling and infrastructure, terrible access to GPU's, at least 2-3x more expensive than any other cloud. Support is staffed by overseas Indians who drag every interaction out and just wear you down until you give up.

So you'd prefer to look a screenshot where half of the content is blurred out?

The last time I was locked out of Claude Code I gave gemini cli a try. 10 minutes and lots of weird scrolling and screen flashing later, and it kept trying to add and remove the same function from the same file over and over, in a loop, until it exhausted its credits and demanded I upgrade.

This post feels like it was lifted straight from a corporate HR Layoffs FAQ section.

Most people don't want to hear from old co-workers, from a job they just got laid off from, especially those that are there to offer fake, self-serving sentiment with a bunch of rules attached. Unless you already have a relationship with the person, you would probably have already talked anyway and it would be natural without all these weird rules of engagement.

People who do this are fake and its amazing to me they think this kind of thing isn't perceived as anything other than fake. There is a time and place for everything, networking with recently laid off co-workers is not one of them.

Does that matter anymore? The stock market no longer serves as a tool to help allocate resources, it operates more like a Casino now.

I'm not seeing how this is any different than a standard vector database MCP tool. It's not like Claude is going to know about any of the things you told it to "remember" unless you explicitly tell it to use its memory tool like shown in the demo, to remember something you've stored.

This is just some feedback. But when including product shots on your web site, at least don't use real user data where you have to blur most of the content. It looks tacky and unprofessional.

I work in a building where Deloitte has an office. I see their employees riding the elevator and sometimes in other common areas. I just same here to say they are some of the most depressed and down-trodden group of people I have ever seen. They are noticeably different than other employees in the building.

What's wrong with working at Deloitte that is does this to people?

It stands to reason the OP doesn't understand the code or what he's (probably the LLM) has written if he can't manage to reproduce his own results. We have all been there, but this kind of "try stuff" and "not understand the cause and effect" of your changes is a recipe for long-term disaster. Noticeably also is a lack of desire to understand what the actual change was, and reinforcement of bad development practices.

How on earth are they going to manage battery life for an always on device? At this point they might as well just rig up a cheap 2-way short range radio, with a microphone always on and connected to OpenAI HQ.

The app itself (I still have it on my phone) wasn't very good, buggy and not user friendly. The author is a clout chaser and wanted to profit off the app.

Sam Altman gave Nadella the most watered down version of ChatGPT he possibly could. The AI embedded into every Microsoft product I've tried has felt like at least 2 - 3 generations old than what you can get directly from OpenAI. You think it would be much better, having native access to tools and data. Nope. I could find no evidence of any of that.

Have ChatGPT code up a script for you, that you can paste into developer tools. It's how I deleted all my content from there.

Why don't they start to fix their AI they have running in Azure? Talk about useless!

Yes, this guy's post came up on my LinkedIn. I think it's helpful to consider the source in these types of articles, written by a CEO at a fintech startup (looks like AI generated too). It's obvious from reading the article that he doesn't understand what he's talking about and has likely never created any kind of RAG or other system. He has a very limited experience, basically a single project, of building a system around rudimentary ingestion of SEC filings, that's his entire breath of technical experience on the subject. So take what you read with a grain of salt, and do your own research and testing.

When I said it's "hard" I mean for the average non-technical person, or someone who doesn't have access to a real-world dataset with millions of names for comparison.

You can easily find such datasets on the dark web, FYI.

Have you tried Loveable or seen any of their marketing? They are innovating a new category of software that is passable in all the ways a typical user can examine, but none of the ways of traditional software.

And why should they? Most people will pay them, churn out whatever code, it will likely never be deployed or used by anyone (this is true of most code created by a real engineer too). By the time the user has figured out what they have "created" isn't real, Loveable is on to the next mark/user.
