>token-hungry model It's kind of funny how this is the exact opposite of the truth. It's one of the most token-efficient models ever. The claims aren't bullshit. Every conceivable benchmark and test you can throw at it sho

If your benchmark shows Opus 5 winning, I really question the validity of it.

As someone from the UK, Techy, nerdy people can know, but normies don't. Also, I'd add that gym bros definitely have heard of them, especially if they are familiar with steroids. The GLP-1 drugs are probably the main cause of this

I think it's pretty clear that most of the discussion around AI is just generally bullshit. I've seen some articles on some data centres that were very loud because of gas turbines, but realistically, what percentage is that? Sure

Obviously everyone likes the think "this time it's different" but with LLM's and AI it certainly seems to be the case. Having a machine that's even as smart as most human's + cheap robotics, does seem to lead t

I think that's an incredibly dangerous slippery slope. If you effectively control what is monetised, you effectively control what is said en masse. It's a distinction without a difference.

I mean it's absolutely true that China is loving the American AI backlash and is fueling it. How purposely they are doing this is unclear, but they have the motive and means. Let your biggest rival shoot themselves in the foot over the

Precisely, if we expect AI/LLM progress to continue as it currently is, then data centers seem like a sure fire bet. They will just print money if AI reached that level.

If you believe AI will become increasing important, which most people in tech seem to agree on. Having data centers in your country seems incredibly important, especially to the EU. You'd really hope to see the exact opposite of this b

I mean bribes can be good. Sure you can build a data center near me, if your going to fund a new swimming pool and library with the taxes you pay. Also I get reduced local taxes? Even better! Infrastructure building would be a whole lot eas

Ah yes, the majority of people obviously don't know about climate change! It's far grimmer to realise that people know, they just don't think we have an acceptable answer yet. I'm not willing to accept any climate action

This isn't actually correct. Gemini 3.0 gets a very high score because it's very often correct, but it does not have a low hallucination rate. https://artificialanalysis.ai/#aa-omniscience-hallucination-... It loo

I'm just genuinely really confused by this take. It's a 100x easier to build products today than it was in the 1990's. (I don't think that's an exaggeration in the slightest) It would be basically be impossible to b

There generally aren't underfed people in the US. This just simply isn't true. The opposite is a far bigger issue.

But it's undeniable that culture and how that's reflected in governance have a huge impact: South vs North Korea.

I thought it was pretty settled that it was social contagion similar to other mental illnesses in the past.

I know Andrej Karpathy mentions it in his youtube series so there's a good chance of it being true.

Certainly wouldn't recommend MAUI. Even using it as a simple shell with for Blazor Hybrid was noticeably harder than WPF. If Microsoft aren't using it themselves in any real capacity, then it's not good bet IMO.
