Even vanilla minecraft is a far superior experience to NMS. Minecraft's approach to procedural generation poduces more meaningful exploration because its terrain, resources, structures, and building system interact far more deeply with

Poor reasoning. You could apply the same logic to any improvement in any field of machine learning.

The evidence is the history of the sun rising since time immemorial, as well as the science of physics and cosmology that models the sun's motion with respect to the earth.

This is olympic level mental gymnastics to justify believing things without evidence. The double negative with the word evidence in scare quotes is chef's kiss.

It's incredible to me that every single time there's a new model people scream "singularity" from the rooftops and every time they are wrong. This is an impressive result, but there is absolutely zero evidence of "t

Nah, it's the species. Corporate greed is near the bottom of the list among the accolades of human cruelty.

What the voters want is of minimal importance. There are near zero politicians that want to break up big tech, and absolutely zero that would be able to actually achieve a break up if they tried. You can see my reply to a sibling comment wh

A politically impossible outcome that isn't worth hanging our hopes on. A more realistic approach is legislation that either forbids providers from suspending or otherwise limiting access to any government integrated system or simply f

I'm not a physicist either, but the amount of evidence pointing in the direction of dark matter is extremely significant, it's a little silly to just dismiss all that based on your intuition.

What you label "government bureaucracy" is very often environmental protections working as intended. One AI company's "bullshit" is another citizen's "clean air and water". Since the AI companies don&

I'd start with division of labor as a minimum.

Yes, this is actually a reason why an AI executive could be a formidable alternative in theory. The CEO is ultimately an employee of the board, and managing the CEO with respect to the board's oversight and interest is a somewhat adver

One person isn't a company. Legally maybe, but there's no point in a company if you can profitably do all the labor yourself.

True, but better nvidia than any other big tech contender. Nvidia has a very strong business incentive to make huggingface thrive, whereas pretty much everyone else has the opposite incentive.

You're correct. I spoke a little too loosely, there are many different kinds of visas, but something like 95% of all work visas issued each year fall into the category of non-immigrant. I'll concede that this statistic is cold com

They are not connected - this is a pause on immigrant visas, not work visas.

There is no "future proof" for >1T param models, there is no present or future where you can run a model that size on consumer hardware.

Sonnet is estimated around 1T, so that is far beyond what's practical as well.

For local LLMs with a Mac, rule of thumb is you always want an Ultra (due to memory bandwidth). Even an M1 Ultra is superior to an M6 Pro in this regard. There are no configurations even close to running something comparable to frontier mo
