That sounds shockingly like cognitive dissonance. So what would previously be a good thesis if produced by a student over 4-6 years is suddenly now a bad result because it was produced by AI in a few weeks. One would think mathematicians wo

Engineers are needed to build real things. AI isn't there yet.

You seem to be unfamiliar about how research works. It's common to make an incremental advancement while citing prior work. The vast majority of papers out there fall into this bucket. Did the AI make incremental progress? Yes. Did it

Beautifully written post and true on many levels. The art of software stopped being an art once large amounts of capital started creeping in. There are no signs that we're returning to sanity any time soon.

The pudding is in the proof. The field is mathematics, the proof can be rigorously verified. If there is a flaw, OpenAI is out to lunch. If the proof is valid, OpenAI has produced something new.

Great idea, terrible syntax.

That's good for the economy. Vanity projects help the wealth spread around. Think of all the people who received income by working on this house. It's a much bigger problem when wealth is hoarded.

Welp, that's it then. Soon HuggingFace will require an NVidia Developer account, an onerous license agreement that must be agreed to during registration and a bloated cli interface with loads of telemetry.

Start swimming in Lake America, end up in Lake Ontario. Funnily enough, Ontario is an indigenous word that predates both American and Canadian governments.

We don't know if the OP has rooted their phone in addition to installing Graphene.

by glitchc 20d ago
Have you explicitly enabled root access? GrapheneOS does not do so by default, in fact their documents explicitly mention that enabling root access weakens the OS's security posture. Many app protection frameworks detect root access an

Of course, because it's not the LLM that's special but the training data. Nowadays, your favourite AI service to generate code for an LLM whenever you ask for it.

I think the OP's logic applies. Every author is hoping their book is a best-seller and/or wins awards i.e. the approval of others.

Nothing special about OpenAI to deserve a buyout.

Short answer is yes. Most grandparents resisted computers, internet, cellphones or online banking until the network effect left them with little choice but to participate. You also see them glom onto popular platforms (Faceboook, WhatsApp)

Yes, except it only worked some of the time on some of the distros (mainly Ubuntu/Debian variants of a certain vintage).

It's not a monopoly in the console market. There are two other competitors all of whom have roughly equal market share. And they are all walled gardens so Sony is not doing anything differently from its competitors.
