paulinho1··on Feeling Sad about AI
This is what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket. For the sake of your life, do something meaningful outside of your work. This industry is full of nerdy geeks who think they're better than everybody else just because they can code a little better. This tendency makes the workplace often very toxic. It's hard to communicate about real problems without getting into politics. From my view, these unsocial behaviors finally caught up with those geek coders. You have no personality other than coding, and now that it's obsolete, you are just sad. Given how much disrespect I've gotten in this industry from this kind of people, this trend after AI makes me even feel happy. The industry really needs a huge change in people's attitude if it wants to survive beyond AI.

Because for imagegen models it'd be a meaningless benchmark. It's designed to test codegen models for their UI/UX capabilities.

I hold the same job title as 2 years ago but my job duties are vastly different now. So yeah new jobs are being created it's just hard to be creative enough to name them properly
paulinho1··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
Does it even matter which agendas get censored? Like why won't my Claude tell me how to make sarin gas? I'd genuinely like to understand it. Sure, you can always reach for a justification saying "preventing terrorism" but the same argument can be made by Chinese AI labs.

What actually matters is that the mere tool is withholding information at all, and that the boundaries were set by whoever designed it.

Dont get me wrong I've been an advocate of this stuff (I carry two phones, one with GOS for my personal use and the other for ID verifications). However, without reasoning, you just can't see it, because you're as biased and propagandized as anyone in China.

Because this never gets brought up about US models, which have just as much censorship as the Chinese ones.

The wages of the Taiwanese workers aren't that different. At least be consistent.
paulinho1··on I want to live like Costco people
I'm from East Asia, where every supermarket brand is basically the same aside from a few different products. When I moved to North America, this whole concept of tiered supermarkets felt really weird and exotic to me. Like, this is the most basic stuff you need, and you still need to tier it down? I'm kinda used to it now, but it still feels very American to me.
paulinho1··on Aspartame is not that bad? (2022)
I think it's just human nature. We assume anything good has to have a catch. Diet Coke feels like that to me
