Banking on public sentiment to reduce adoption of a profitable technology could be dangerous. There's also a lot of hate for fossil fuels, gambling, health insurance, etc.

I disagree. Even if models remained fixed at Fable 5 capability (which they won't in a pacing scenario), improvements in cost, reliability, and product/workflow integration can still realize massive value and justify AI labs'

Keeping billions of humans healthy, happy, and safe is complicated. Best to begin by reducing the scale of the problem. First, automate the economy and change the information ecosystem so that humans spend more and more time happily isolate

I've got to ask, let's say we get a small modular nuclear reactor running practically on a 1 acre lot, its design meltdown proof and waste-free, what then should we fear from this threat ? This is just a thought experiment. Joke

This is a cool project, and the idea of using LLMs to selectively extract features from open source projects is an interesting concept. The only thing I take issue with is the phrase "LiteLLM Without the Bloat." A lot of the featu

Matt has made like hundreds of bizarre decisions over the last few years. The WPEngine drama is a big part of it, but he's also been odd with Automattic's purchase and handling of Tumblr and other topics.

I think this is secondary to a widespread loss of confidence in our nation's political and foreign policy apparatus to do what's right for the average American. "Working for the military is evil" descends from a post-Vie

IDK about "terrible," but: - OpenAI is the first AI lab to pioneer ads in consumer AI - Anthropic seemingly exists primarily because top OpenAI researchers lost faith in the company's commitment to AI safety - They had the CE

Miro is a great tool - it's not a $20B company, but it's a great utility.

it just sucks to see someone who helped popularize something so many people care about change (at least publicly) for the worse.

Who else is going to compete? Everyone in this space already has gonzo capital, massive data centers, $1M salaries, etc.

Exciting to finally see glimmers of Meta's vision for its massive LLM investment. It's not a bad product idea, but adoption might be rough because of all the negative goodwill that Meta has accumulated over the years. Also, I woul

The more people use agents, the more they write like agents. The author seems to have put significant effort into this post, but when I read something like the below, my brain just immediately checks out. > # What one authority buys &

If you're ever in Denmark, go visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art! It's a really fantastic collection (including the Kusama room), but also a beautiful building and a really nice place to walk around in.

You pay Amazon $200 and give free product to Vine reviewers in exchange for a seed pool of "unbiased" reviews (see link below). If you're not worried about the risk of getting your seller account canceled, there are also oth

We also saw this with YouTube MCNs, early video game publishers, and (of course) record labels. Whenever there is a booming industry of entertainers, it seems like there's a corresponding boom of parasitic "agents" with the s

So would it be fair to say this is less about deterministic vs. LLM-driven tools, and more about software published out of New York vs. software published out of Germany?

Another AI-ism is the use of the word "grain" in technical contexts. I'm confident the OP is human-written, but everything in my AI-supported codebase is about grains, seams, tracer bullets, and load-bearing components now. I

It's free for a limited number of notes. I guess you could copypaste the note summaries out to Obsidian or something, but at that point you're better off using MacParakeet, OpenWhispr, etc. https://www.granola.ai/p

places like Charles Town, Martinsburg, and Cumberland MD are really wonderful, beautiful, but economically depressed communities. It's not quite Boise or Austin, but towns like this would be really attractive to a certain group of remo
