I have been burned in the past by siding with people who give kitchen-sink type of arguments. So I would not bet my money on things he says.

That being said. Since COVID there seems to be an ongoing and worsening DOS attack. Everybody who have access to media are lying. And we know they are lying! The craziest part is not only that they are getting away with it (so far at least), but this is becoming embraced, standardized and legalized. Which is fucking crazy.

I like listening to Ed's interviews, mainly because he is DOSing back.

Yes indeed, there is an ongoing apocalypse for Food & Serving jobs: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IHLIDXUSTPFOPRSE. It is one of the most AI-proof professions according to Anthropic.

Supposedly they could make money, if they wouldn't have to burn a lot on the research. There was an interview with Dario where he stated this and hinted to the fact that a monopoly would not have the research problem, and thus could start making money.

No technological improvement will make the halting problem decidable.

Finally. Thank you! This was indeed my point that everyone seem to have missed.

This is what I still don't understand, how much of what they claim has been actually replicated? From what I understand the "50x cheaper" inference is coming from their pricing page, but is it actually 50x cheaper than the best open source models?

Seeing how many broker related posts are in the top right now, I gather that HN went all in on the "AI trade" :D

Yup :D

How these people self-defend themselves internally? Usually the answer is simple, along the lines of "oh, just sociopaths"... I mean you have to go to conferences, tweet, interact with people, get articles written about you, basically become famous, even build tech or at least organize that, they often have families, and basically ALL burn at the end, like lose everything.

Off topic, how is this getting so many upvotes on HN?

Have you seen the JavaScript world?

First we had outsourcing to Indians, now we have ChatGPT. There is almost a rule of thumb, the less you pay, the bigger pile of shit you get. At least with ChatGPT you can vet it first, but with the market being flush with 1-2 year experience devs, globally vetting will be shit too. I honestly wonder, what will start happening to all these LLMs when the training set will get over-represented with cheap, fast, crappy code written by LLMs themselves. I bet "content inbreeding" will become the topic in the future.

Anecdotal, but I had depression episodes on weekly basis for 4 years, then started to microdose mushrooms for completely different reasons, and it is almost 2 years now, when I barely had a single such episode.

Reddit is garbage these days anyways. Even communities that are scientific/technical seem to be toxic these days. If you want to get to a comment that has any substance regarding some topic or article, you have to scroll all the way down.

It needs a recession first though. Unless they manage to "wash-off" all the idiots, solutions that attempt to walk on hands will persist.

What do you mean "not particularly expensive", GPT-3 I think costs like $4M to train. And that is just the pre-training part.

If media made well adjusted statements, it wouldn't be the media then wouldn't it :D

I personally have an impression, that commodity prices are a function of shocks. Gas prices in Europe, uranium prices in mid 2000s, lithium due to sudden EV demand, etc. World then adjusts, and prices "collapse" or rather stabilize. Basically, don't buy commodities when the price is high.

Except "this is just" is sprinkled all over NNs, DL and in turn of ChatGPT. Actually they pride themselves on "this is just".

So your argument is probably more accurate for the other camp, or at least as accurate for the other camp as well.

Except for libertarians? Personally, as a libertarian this is all I need -- a win for myself.

I hold small amount of bitcoin in a cold wallet.

He actually already said that.

Not disagreeing, just wondering, why you think ML anad LLMs is getting us pretty close to alchemy?

Agreed. However, IMO SoftBank is just a symptom, when world's banks are (were) so liberal with the money, you get these type of deformations, zombie companies is another one.

Now we know what HN faps to..

What is going on with the headlines these days? It is almost as if anything sansationalist can be safely ignored even if it is a decent journal/news paper...

Been there. Quit now!
