This just seems to be quintessential silicon valley "I don't want to live in a world where someone makes the world a better place, better than we do." It's amazing how transparently OpenAI is running the standard silicon

Parse that statement more carefully. > I was told the model did not look up user data. The naive way to read this is "Nothing you guys did influenced the way our model got to the solution". The less naive way to read this is &q

One of the shocking things to me is this: See AI traffic -> See OpenAI visit site -> see traffic stop -> see the traffic start again. This is clearly a cat and mouse game between the agents and OpenAI which is pretty much exactly w

There's two different things you're talking about here. There's the cost estimate- the amount you tell people up front a surgery is likely to cost, vs the actual cost to the hospital. You don't need to guess how many syr

It's not difficult to define what curing cancer is, we've got tonnes of measures we can define. Let's define curing breast cancer - we have cured breast cancer if the 5 year survival rate is above 99% for all SEER stages, or

This semi-analysis article reads a lot more like an OpenAI press release than a real analysis. And to be honest some of the statements seem like just straight up lies - they initially claim they were invited to benchmark it, and then half w

This is such a good example of a straight forward question that achieves the exact opposite of its purpose. What do we want? Highly ethical people that are mission focused and willing to give up on economic upside for the mission. What are

Before reading the article this is exactly what I was expecting it to be about. There's been a real boom of people taking highly questionable peptides with evidence about as thin as an old wives tail. It would be entirely unsurprising

Well clearly they choose, there's more demand for their GPUs than there is supply, so they have to decide somehow and the fact that the announcement of these deals frequently come with a plethora of weird funding/loan/guarant

Can someone explain to me how Nvidia chooses who they sell chips to. As far as I can tell there are dozens of companies out there trying to build out these data centres; all frontier labs to some extent, all the hyperscalers, the neoclouds.

All the conversation on twitter seems to be about how cheap this is. Are they just choosing to lose money on inference to gain market share or do they actually have inexplicably lower inference cost/more efficient models?

The shear hypocrisy of this is quite staggering. Ok, so we own the outputs, but you get to decide how we use them, and you don't trust us to use them. But the people whose books you stole to build your psychopath machine, they didn&#x2

I really don't understand why they do trials for this. What would be the failure case for the trial? "We carried out the trial for 6 weeks over X period of time, we arrested Y people, at that rate we've decided this is not co

That is absolutely not true in this case. If what Apple alleges is true, the closest example we can look to is Waymo vs Uber. Where Uber ended up settling, they paid Google a quarter of a billion in stock, agreed not to use the IP they had

This looks really bad for OpenAI. Honestly, do not post text messages on the web, you look like a messy bitch. At this point I really don't see this company going public under Altman, they're going to have to bring someone in to b

It makes me so angry that an entire branch of "science" gets to just take data and go "I dunno man, maybe kids are just dumber". There's so much of this in social science. Take some measurable thing, and then just

The "Why Bonsai?" I found really funny. Let me re-write that section for you: Why Bonsai? At Jane Street we're super excited by Functional programming and by CAML in particular, so when we need low latency software, we use OC

If you look at Apple's market cap on a graph, you would think Steve Jobs was holding Apple back... Alternatively, if you looked Apple's market cap on a graph you would think covid absolutely exploded the stock market and it's

Yes absolutely, famously American cities run crack dens using municipal taxes.

It is interesting to hear how openly some CEOs will just say outright stupid things. Like ok, so you re-do the voting system to give rich people more votes than poor people. Fine. It's done. What's the first order of business amon

Having been to Gatwick plenty of times, the weakness with this vs the already existing valet parking is that the valet parking is just 1 story of the short stay car park. You just drive up, drop your keys and go, your car is parked in a lon

Take a look at most successful journalism today. It's behind a paywall. You get paid by the people who are interested and value your work. Can Google steal it and present it in an AI overview? Well kinda. Today Google is doing a trick

I think this is a reasonable set of objections to how cut and paste works if you were designing it from scratch. I'm not saying I agree with the conclusions, cut AND paste, is 2 operations so it seems silly to say you can undo both w

I'm not certain the point of an interview is to ask you to write the exact lines of code that you would write during the job.

I think there's two elements to this. First - all the things you list are important too, and we'll get to that. But there's no point in getting to those things if the candidate can't write 5 lines of python and has no id

The praise for the Chinese labs is generally around how they deliver fantastic results with less resources. xAI is the opposite, they're struggling to keep up with frontier - massive churn, selling off compute because of lack of adopti

It's not a problem for you maybe, but if you run a business providing some niche specific software in some area, having the model suck up all your code and learn from it is pretty harmful because your competitors and customers will be

Interesting. But if Sam really believes that the US public should share in the benefits of AI surely the number should be 50% not 5%.

The hardware will become obsolete but we may end up with an oversupply of cheap power - overbuild on things like Nuclear and solar. That would be nice.
