But but but he said 'billionaires, ''Elon musk, ' and 'DOGE. '
He can only do so much! He can't let trump win and thus his only option is to let trump win

Jabber jaw jabbers at length. Sure, let's give him a record for it and pretend it's newsworthy

To go a step farther than your article, the first AI research at Dartmouth proposed they could make AGI in a summer.
Its wild how consistently bad theyve been at this.

Which is why y'all should leave during the speech.
Why do we once again let them play the game they want to play?

Proton mail and proton drive. Not perfect, but worth the monthly fee.

Or they could do what jeffries suggests, which is to attend and be nice because that's the 'bold' thing to do. 🙄

I legitimately have been hoping a documentary would be made on just how in the world they made something so shitty in every aspect of software development.

Jeffries needs to go. He is not equipped for this moment.

It can inspire innovation but you don't simply wish for a Dyson Sphere to be manifest just because we read about it in a book.
Same with AI. Same with robots. Same with Mars.
Silicon Valley has this really immature view that you can simply code anything into existence.

I find it embarrassing that these guys think they can will science fiction into existence.
Especially while murdering fundamental research.

I just checked in. You're right. They did! Something actually good came out of last year.

It still breaks my heart, that private equity got their fingers into the LMO.

They should show up.
And then collectively all walk out.

At this point, I'm going with the death cult option.
I don't know how you can light this much money on fire and then do anything other than a suicide run.
Every tech CEO's head will figuratively roll if they pull back at all.

My copium is that we welcome people who were genuinely deceived. We bring people in who can admit their mistake.
The rest we'll deal with at the end of all of this during their trials.

Oh, I feel your frustration. It's hard being on the side of things that consistently has integrity and thus consistently is expected to maintain integrity.

I think we have to remember that not everyone who voted for trump is a MAGA devotee, even if they are conservative.
We aren't going to get a decisive majority to take back the country from these nuts with 51% of the population behind us - we need 60, 70, maybe even 80%.

Kind of like how UHC's AI gets claim rejections wrong 90% of the time, but as long as it's rejecting lots of people, it's still doing exactly what they want.

The left isn't the problem, but that doesn't mean they're the solution.
With Dems thinking 2026 will be a cakewalk, I'm done with this passive strategy of "just want until people hate Republicans again."
Indivisible is starting to sound like the name of a great pro-democracy party to me.
comment in response to
post
What other Democrats don't understand is that when we tell them we want them to do something, THIS is what we're talking about.
We're gonna have to get rid of all of them next cycle. I'm tired of relying on the actions of Republican bad actors to win back anything. No more ping pong.

The best thing Google AI has ever done is gotten me to actually enjoy using DuckDuckGo.
It might not be as good as Google at its peak, but it's definitely better than Google now.

Very much reads like a " I always meant to do that, " kind of statement.
AI wasn't a bad idea, it just saved us so much money that we can now hire people to do the job that AI replaced people to do!

I find it grating that their end-of-america plan is so fucking cringe, because it makes it so much harder to get people to believe these 'geniuses' think a bunch of fascist city states won't devour each other within a decade.

All you need to do is educate yourself on how to ask those right questions...which will just end up educating yourself to the same level as those experts you're trying to bypass.

When free speech = nazi slogans to you, this all makes sense.
I very much doubt that North Korean law says anything about nazi branding and slogans for instance. Being critical of dear leader might get you killed, but let's not forget that free speech only deals with nazis, not dear leaders.

Can they pass the case off to state prosecutors? I can't imagine what this dude has been doing is legal on the state level.

At the same time... All hands on deck. We're even going to need some maga folk on our side. There are going to be strange bedfellows in this next round.

People are slavish to the axiom that technology always improves, which is weird because it's never been true.

Nice goalpost move though, after your initial argument treating marginal improvements as tectonic shifts didn't work out.

The standardized math exam? Are you impressed by an LLM passing the bar exam too?

Do you know what the word ' relative' means?
I read the chart - they are *marginal* improvements *relative* to the other models. These aren't significant gains in function nor are they major advances in existing ones.
comment in response to
post
All of the models are relatively the same in terms of benchmarks. I don't know why you're having a hard time understanding that. Maybe it's your refusal to consider something other than a paradigm shift here?
comment in response to

This isn't hard. It's significantly cheaper to run, and you can run it locally, But that's not what I'm talking about. The effective performance compared to chat GPT is still relatively on the same level, with only marginal performance improvements.

Just how big of a poop is he trying to hold in?
comment in response to
post
I'm speaking in generalities. This is not a major advance, but at best some small incremental improvements. A couple of percentage points here and there does not change that fact.
comment in response to
post
Another important point that people aren't talking about is that deepseek performance-wise overall isn't any better than GPT-4.
So even if the improvements in other areas are true, it feels like more and more that We're getting close to the ceiling of what neural nets can do.

The emails that are going to be revealed in discovery as to what criteria they used to determine who was DEI are going to be fucking wild. It might be enough to stun Normies finally.

I also really hate that people answered those professional questions on LinkedIn without them realizing that they're being professionally farmed for training data.

I give him six months before he is fired for something alcohol-related.
Oh, not anything that might cost American lives - something like being drunk in front of trump.
