  • Complete slop churned out by an LLM directed by someone with AI psychosis. I got about halfway through. The paper has no substance and is not worth discussing any more than any other delusion.

    There's this persistent thread with LLMs where their sycophancy drives the vulnerable into these delusional spirals. That Eddie Burback video is instructive. But I've seen time and again that LLMs are straight up cognitive hazards, like actually dangerous to higher thinking capacity.

  • Same, gave it a spin for a few months and it was fine but boring. Get about the same results from eating more fiber tbh

  • [Not the Onion] The mayor of Minneapolis has asked Trump to please stop.

  • ICE is also targeting off duty hogs, there's plenty of justification for swine on swine violence

  • Smh Trump is completely sauceless, he's posting like a GOP senator from 2010 now

  • Everyone in the room making decisions that would kill hundreds of millions of people so they could keep poisoning the air and water should be shot, and everyone who's already dead should have their graves defiled and made into monuments to their most humiliating personal moments in life

    This Richard Feynman vid on light is beyond fantastic. It's a rare case where the sensationalism of the title is warranted. ~21:30 [Fixed link]

  • It's the supply line reliance too. Every hour in the air has something like twenty in maintenance. If they wanted to stop the F35s they've sold from flying, they could just stop selling the repair parts

  • Citations Needed did an episode on this. Steak is intertwined with concepts of manifest destiny and toxic masculinity

  • You'd think, but efficiency gains are erased by the LLMs having bigger context windows and self-referencing "thinking" or "agent" modes that massively extend token burn. There's public data out there showing how training costs are an enormous fixed point, but then inference costs very quickly catch up and exceed the training cost.

    A model that's token-efficient is a model that's pretty useless and a model that's useable for anything is so inefficient as to have massively negative profit margins. If there was even one model out there that was cost effective for the number of tokens burned, the provider would never shut up about it to buyers

  • The difference is that what they're doing is cheap on a per-user-operation level. If Google makes $0.00001 per search, but they spend a tenth of that serving it, they come out ahead. OpenAI and LLMs generally are so massively unprofitable that they cannot recover the cost of a query through ad spend at any price an advertiser would be willing to pay.
