I know, but really, in the 21st century, aren't there many substitutes for whatever pop-hype we're talking about? Not enough worlds with wizards, or swords, or dragons, or whatever you like?

I don't think local models would require hardware at nearly the scale that the datacenter buildout for OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. required. Nvidia got as high as the Icarus, it will be hard not to melt, despite they being a real c

They DO vote with their wallets, though. They're still buying that crap, don't they?

Who (what) would all these middle managers manage? Agents? Why? If agents were so capable, they'd sure be capable of managing themselves or each other...

/s I thought AI can now give us the source of any binary? What happened to all the vibe coded Nvidia/CUDA drivers?

That's because it's AI-slopped.

Luckily, the jargon in the vibe coding space go away even sooner than it comes :)

At this point I would hold that silly sounding message in a much higher regard than I would hold AI slop.

... and I suppose the solution for these particular conditions is.... drumrolls... stablecoins? They are allowed? Available everywhere? Accepted everywhere? Totaly safe from disappearing overnight?

The global poor already had ways to store value in dollars. They could simply exchange whatever meager savings they had into... real dollars! And they have been doing that for decades. I don't know whether anyone in the west really bel

It depends. What if Aldi bled a trillion dollars for this revenue of $120B? Would it be a desirable purchase?

Yes it is, because as soon as programmers step out of the most basic language level (which is kinda similar in most mainstream languages) there's a bunch of wildly different concepts, with wildly different ways of writing them. Writing

LLMs can and will provide inaccurate answers to questions where data is included in their training sets too, that's in the nature of neural networks. It's just less likely that when the data is not in the training set...

None of the numerous existing human-coded X11 tray icons showing battery charge level is good for you? Why? What are they missing?

FWIW Back in 2015 OpenCL 2.0 performance was quite good on then-current AMD GPUs (IMO), but the problem was that 1. You had to implement everything yourself, from scratch, since AMD's GPU BLAS was barely compilable, and 2. They abando

Who's gonna pay $20,000 for labor that can be done by anyone with a $200/mo subscription?

Now let's think about how much money it costs Anthropic to make that $60k. :)

If the main problem is programming languages incompatibility with QWERTY, that problem has been solved many decades ago. The programmers can switch to Colemak, and save many trillions of dollars of AI expenses.

Perhaps music that at least the author would listen to? To this day I haven't heard an AI song that made me wish I press the rewind/play to listen it again. Granted, most human-generated songs are crap, too, but at least they are
