The year is 2435. Human beings — now sentient spheres of glowing gas — finally understand why matter exists. Our knowledge of the world is complete, and can go no farther! One the telepresence screen, a simulation of a 21c internet pundit pops up: "Told you deep learning was hitting a wall!"

OpenAI, DeepSeek, and the Cost of Control "The era of generative AI as a gated community may be coming to an end, and the financialisation of AI—once seen as inevitable—may be more fragile than ever anticipated." open.substack.com/pub/jamescos...

I've written a short piece on Michael Longley - less an obituary than an appreciation. booksirelandmagazine.com/as-long-as-t... Pictures: Portrait by Colin Davidson in the National Gallery of Ireland; with Seamus Heaney on the Hill of Tara in 2010.

The whole #DeepSeek “oh wow, gaming GPUs are now good for AI development” is a stale take! Ampere / Ada Lovelace architectures support CUDA & Tensor Cores & have always been capable of accelerating AI & deep learning tasks (though VRAM / thermal design are issues). And they can do all the fun stuff.

This year’s CES was next level. I consider myself a pretty “show me the tech” kind of guy, but what’ll soon be available to consumers is getting scary. Gadgets from science fiction are finally being realised. We’re not at all prepared for some of this shit. Not even close.

Want to amplify the story below as the correct way to think about LLM 'personalities', as opposed to the scifi nonsense about deceptive agents that still floats around. And to take the opportunity to link to this old post of mine, which makes a similar point. benschmidt.org/post/2023-02...
