Everyone I know loves AI. It is actively making their lives better. All kinds of people, all kind of ages - universally love it and use it every day for all kind of stuff (shopping, health, learning, home improvement, etc, etc).

The article is well-written, and is very clear, thank you!

Cost is absolutely an issue here - my time is worth approximately $1000/day, so if a slightly worse model wastes one more hour of my time a day than the best model, it costs the company >$2k/mo. Fortunately my employer understa

Opus 5 and 5.6 Sol are definitely not smart enough to do my job. They require constant supervision. So why would I want to switch to even worse model? Even if it's just slightly worse?

How would this work? Where do the money for their pension fund come from? Would taking money from it result in them receiving smaller pensions?

Most quant papers I've seen usually report non-trivial degradation on standard benchmarks, like 1-10% degradation (compared to FP16/BF16). Especially when using 4 bits or lower. For example, I just opened a random paper: https:&#

1. If you have good results on sufficiently large models (check latest papers re: which benchmarks are still relevant), post them on Github, along will detailed instructions how to reproduce. 2. Post the link to the GH repo in "Show HN

I'm not interested in gaming, but if you had a version for AI, I'd be using it!

Imagine that we made an LLM out of all dolphin songs ever recorded, would such LLM ever reach human level intelligence? It could potentially reach super-dolphin level intelligence

I'm an employee, and my boss loves me because I deliver things he wants quickly and reliably - because I use AI tools. Guess who he will keep in the next round of layoffs?

I'm serious - the productivity boost I'm getting from using AI models is so significant, that it's absolutely worth paying even 2k/month. It saves me a lot of time, and enables me to deliver new features much faster (mak

I would probably pay $2000 a month if I had to - it's a small fraction of my salary, and the productivity boost is worth it.

Is there any evidence?

Sure, could be just lucky. But if there are several successful small studies, and several unsuccessful large ones (no idea if this is the case here), we should probably look for a better explanation.

the larger the trial size, the smaller the outcome I find this a bit surprising. Could there be something else affecting the accuracy of larger trials? Perhaps they are not as careful, or cutting corners somewhere?

Maybe so, but this particular blog post was the first and is still the best explanation of how transformers work.

I honestly wanted to understand your position, but after such a reaction, I'm not going to engage in any discussions with you.

Your position is similar to saying that medical drugs have been a net negative on society, because some drugs have been used and abused to collective detriment (and other negative effects, such as doctors prescribing pills instead of sugges

Are you anti-AI in general, or are you unhappy about the current LLMs?

Would you rather not have LLMs?
