What technical chops does Sam Altman have?

I thought Alex Wang was a very curious choice. There are so many foundational AI labs with interesting CEOs... I get that Wang is remarkable in his own right, but he basically just built MTurk and timed the bubble. Doesn't really screa

You are wondering why a case of so-called terrorists using violence against apartheid occupiers is relevant?

There is no substance to address lol.

You're right. Mandela and the ANC should've disarmed. Basic laws of warfare.

Quite an odd request to ask Hamas to disarm.

Thank god. Finally an end (for now) to the bloodshed. Hopefully an opportunity to take that psycho Netanyahu out of office (and to the Hague, where he should rot)

Tibetan freedom of religion, language and movement being restricted is terrible. It's like what your government is doing to Gaza, except without all of the murder and ethnic cleansing. Like I said, you have psychological issues if you

I'm not going to debate someone who compares Tibetan political opression with a million dead Iraqis and the brutal carpet bombing and turning an ancient country and people into a failed state. Or who thinks the Uyghur re-education camp

Nobody is defending their behavior. You're just proving the brainwashing point I made by instinctively going into attack dog mode making silly arguments. And no, China's oppression of Tibet is nothing close to a million dead Iraqi

Yes. They suck. They've also never done anything remotely as bad as the US did in Iraq. That's my point. Americans act like China is the great evil... it's quite strange.

As someone from (and who lives) in the developing + non-aligned part of the world, I'm always amazed at how ingrained hatred for anything western and non-democratic is for Americans. Anything that isn't a so-called democracy with

I'm not the one making obtuse claims and desperately trying to trigger reactions.

It's nothing like the dot com bubble because that was based on speculative future value and zero present value. There is more present value in AI than at any point in software in the last 30 years.

So that $500m in ARR in 3 months is from hype? That's what you're contending?

You'd think after all this time nerds would stop obsessing about profit. Profit doesn't matter. It hasn't mattered for a long time because tech companies have such fat margins they can go profitable in months if they wanted t

Who cares? Are you not seeing the exponential decrease in GPU inference costs? H100s costs 3x what they did a year ago.

A good sign that an article is another pointless, naive AI doomerism piece is that they cite that atrocious MIT 95% "study".

Yes my original comment was saying that sampling as an artform. You for some reason think copyright law is what makes sampling an artform.

Yes, that's what people are doing with AI music as well. Acting like there's some obvious "line" of what constitutes meaningful transformation is silly.

by bobxmax 1y ago
No what's driving much of the valuations is the biggest leap in human technology since the internet and skyrocketing revenues as a result Private companies soaring to $100m ARR in 12 months is commonplace now. That's what's d

So if Suno credits the artists suddenly AI music becomes art? What weird logic.
28.
by bobxmax 1y ago
What the hell does that have to do with the supposed artistry of it? Sure, make the models credit the original artists, who cares. That doesn't change if it's an art that should be respected or not.

You seem to be the one who doesn't understand how special it is if you think good music is so simple that AI can zero shot it. People are mixing and matching these songs and layering their own vocals etc to create novel music. This is

Last I checked programming isn't judged as an art. Your supposed judgment on skill has nothing to do with something's value as an artform
