They defecated through a sunroof!

Most consumers aren’t reasonable consumers like you though. Peer pressure & curiosity is one helluva draw.

I seriously doubt there’ll be meaningful DLC and that the story will be long/entertaining. See the critically acclaimed RDR2,has no big DLC. I doubt it’ll ever come down to $20

I suspect it’ll be a vehicle to push GTA Online 6 or whatever. Even with that, it’ll still be $100. I also doubt it’ll come to steam till 5 years down the line. These are usual Rockstar & 2K shenanigans.

Not being cynical, being (relatively) realistic. Rockstar has a track record of demanding exorbitant prices & fans paying them.

Our organization notified all they’re shifting to SAP HANA from salesforce. I have no clue what any of that means.

Absolutely, ignorance is tantamount to complicity. Especially since BYD will earn a profit on their slave labor.

I’d love if it were Linux but its probably macs, mostly due to their superior battery life (compared to Windows).

Anecdotally my parents bit the bullet switched to Macs after using Windows 11 and all its unnecessary changes from 10. It was death by a thoudand cuts for them, where simple processes like search and printers are radically different than before. If they gotta learn a new system, might as well learn something that works.

Oh no! 😨

Oh yeah 😈

Good luck to them! It’d be interesting to see how they prove scraping. Like do you find something unique to your website & then prompt the model to give you just that? So you use the citation/reference features that link to your websites?

Knowing the slimeballs at OpenAI I’d wager they’d have covered their tracks.

EDIT To be clear, I’m not suggesting they deleted evidence, but they “laundered” the data via a public training dataset like Eluther AI’s “the pile”.

I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

Well its not organic at all. I remember it’d create a Threads account for you even if you interacted with a Threads post while logged into Instagram. Kinda shady to boast about such numbers imo.

Hoback argues

In any case, says Hoback, the identity of the real Satoshi is a matter of public interest. “This person is potentially on track to become the wealthiest on Earth,” says Hoback. “If countries are considering adopting this in their treasuries or making it legal tender, the idea that there’s potentially this anonymous figure out there who controls one-twentieth of the total supply of digital gold is pretty important.”

Currently bitcoin or any block chain based currency is more of a grift than financial freedom. However countries like El Salvador have taken it up as official currency, so real lives can be affected by whoever holds that bitcoin stockpile.

I don’t think you realize the work involved in integrating a new unreliable power source into the grid. Its a delicate dance to anticipate demand to keep power always available. Having more power than you need is bad for the grid, which is why the costs go negative: power companies want it off the grid ASAP.

Conventional power stations can stay on all the time & that’s awesome for the grid stability. There is no power gap renewables are filling. So to turn solar on we need to turn off a coal powered plant. If this new source cannot match the reliability it hinders to grid than help. So there’s no question of “turn it off when you don’t need it”.

We need to turn off fossil fuel power generation for more renewables, sure, but it doesn’t alleviate their problems right now.

Ok, but what do you do when you’re short of power at night? Keep in mind to turn on conventional power stations it’s expensive & time consuming. Once they startup they need to stay on for a long while to be efficient & cheap.

The real solution is to store excess power in batteries. Lithium ion is too expensive to scale, Sodium ion batteries are economically & capacity viable AFAIK.

Spot on! I hoped this comment would be higher! The main problem isn’t corps not making money, but grid stability due to unreliability of renewables.

To be fair, the original tweet is kinda shit to begin with. They’ve unnecessarily assigned monetary value to a purely engineering (physics?) problem.

That is a good point, but I think I’d like to make the distinction of saying LLM’s or “generic model” is a garbage concept, which require power & water rivaling a small country to produce incorrect results.

Neural networks in general that can (cheaply) learn on their own for a specific task could be huge! But there’s no big money in that, since its not a consolidated general purpose product tech bros can flog to average consumers.

That’s an excellent point! Why oh why would a tech bro start a non-profit? Its always been PR.

Putting my tin foil hat on… Sam Altman knows the AI train might be slowing down soon.

The OpenAI brand is the most valuable part of the company right now, since the models from Google, Anthropic, etc. can beat or match what ChatGPT is, but they aren’t taking off coz they aren’t as cool as OpenAI.

The business models to train & run models is not sustainable. If there is any money to be made it is NOW, while the speculation is highest. The nonprofit is just getting in the way.

This could be wishful thinking coz fuck corporate AI, but no one can deny AI is in a speculative bubble.
