Excatly. Secret government deals could mean backdoors. And then there's the billions of tokens of training data.

There's an old saying: never trust a statistic you haven't faked yourself. Then I was saying to never trust an LM you haven't trained yourself. But can you really? If the training data is poisoned which you can't test fo

When are the hyperscalers finally collapsing? I can't wait! I hate their hardware hogging and land grabbing so much. AI has to be local it makes no sense otherwise.

The issue with bio fuel is the following: Due to climate change the overall area for food production in the world is shrinking. Bio fuel is directly competing with food. The solution: Ditch carbon based fuels as much as possible and replace

So Google is training AI to run businesses that go bankrupt now? That's not very smart.

I mean, what do you expect? They rely on models that were trained on non-curated data, texts originally written by lying, cheating and stealing humans. They can't be better than the source. Even with reinforced learning this can't

Floaters are protein debris flakes literally floating in the fluid of your eyeballs. They're not neurological. They become most noticable when moving your eyes. And over time their appearance changes as they slowly migrate, often times

I love this stuff. Like the one definition of death being an organism dying is one that starts failing to maintain itself. Maintenance being the essence of being alive. Or in other words creating local order by sourcing energy from the envi

On a sidenote, what's up with people still using Ayn Rand references in their company names. It's cringe.

Nothing on that page says how they will actually do it. What is their method except "using AI"? And why has this over 750 upvotes? Meaningless AI company hype spam like this is exactly the reason why HN is so boring at certain tim

It plays well into the Amiga fanbase mythology that Commodore and especially the Amiga shoud have been THE personal computer of the masses, not the IBM compatible x86 machines. But somehow in the early 1990 history took a wrong turn. After

Which is in part the fault of the industry itself! There's a high degree of arrogance in German management. Especially when it comes to China. The German car industry's refusal to go all in on BEV is a prime example how this arrog

Ukraine would have blown up the pipeline anyway. And the land pipelines would have been cut off to Germany by the Eastern Europeans. So no, the gas would not still be flowing with a high probability. That's so absurd.

That was never considered by anyone in German politics. It's the first time I'm hearing about this here in these posts.

I was talking about the metrics on HN you are talking about how AI improved you life (or didn't). Two different things in my opinion. I'm using AI myself btw. This isn't the point.

Regulatory capture. They are the hyperscalers who invested and still invest heavily in hard tech, like data centers. They need regulation of "uncontrolled" AI models, so that Joe Smoe doesn't ditch his ChatGPT subscription an

It's the metrics though. I've noticed that AI topics get hundreds of votes, that means either someone is trying to beat the algorithm to stay in the top news, or suddenly this place is filled with thousands of AI enthusiasts who i

I think that personal account was not written by a human. In the literal sense. And it's not the em dashes (all of the blog's posts are full of them). It's exhaustive writing, something an LLM can easily be tasked with, it co
