If we fast forward say 5 years, I don't see how we don't end up in world where people (and enterprises) are more savvy with how they use LLMs. Meaning, more models, smaller models, weirder models, more specialized models, etc. And

This is going to increasingly happen over the years to come. Big organizations will become more sophisticated with operationalizing their data, training and running LLMs will continue to be demystified and accessible, and over time we'

CSAM and having the potential to randomly becoming unhinged due to strong alignment with the whims of the one dude? Surely puts enterprises at ease.

I would say even without rampocalypse there would still be the strong incentive to innovate at the edge and under more extreme constraints. The incentives are just even stronger now. I'm looking forward to seeing what types of new thin

I think finding significant efficiency gains with LLMs and the like may lead to qualitatively better products. Looking at people's experiences to DSV4F makes me believe that even more than before too. I don't think people are real

Betting on innovation continuing to figure out ways to squeeze more out of less has historically been the right move. Look at Apple. And I'd argue "hardware advances" are more proof of optimization.

AIUC (AI Underwriting Company) is the only thing I've heard of: https://aiuc.com/ They're new. We'll see if it works out. (Just did a quick search and there are some other new entrants too. Just found out abo

Please consider taking a break from your use of LLMs. You are clearly deep in the throes of AI psychosis and need to talk to people you trust in your life instead of the chatbots.

What about your CEO actively spending their time pursuing their own creative interests and doing speaking gigs railing against AI? And posting them on the company YT and his own YT just a week before somberly announcing layoffs where you ci

Saying that would be a much more reasonable layoff announcement. "Shit is good. But not that good. If we don't change course now, things may be less than good." If that's what they actually believe, they could just say

Also I feel like people are not noticing in Tao's chat that chatGPT fairly often is doing web searches. So it literally is acting as search engine sometimes, and that too is incredibly effective when done right. So in addition to Tao u

Interesting. I prefer video/audio for the same reason. But I watch most things on 1.5x or 1.8x speed. I'm not a particularly fast reader, so I prefer audio/video forms. Totally agree with you though about not thinking written

For me, it was the fact that grok was a CSAM spewing faucet for weeks. And also the mecha-hitler thing. And also that one time it was weirdly aggrandizing Elon. I implement AI applications for enterprises (specifically in regulated sectors
