Those traditional prime contractors are basically part of the govt bureaucracy with how they operate. SpaceX and Anduril are good counterpoints.

Have you used an iPhone recently?

Yann is this your throwaway account?

I still think they just don’t have enough compute to release the model to the masses.

At least they're consistent

I’m talking about intrinsic motivation, regardless of if you agree/disagree with the politics. Altman wants power for the sake of power. He’s not technical. I think Musk’s power seeking is to achieve technical goals.

Readers here can't fathom that the NYT has inherent bias in a lot of its reporting

Elon called it when this was announced. Sam never had the money. Interesting to contrast those two characters.

I think Sam is somewhat sociopathic, smooth salesman, not very technical, will say whatever needs to be said to get what he wants.

Elon is on the spectrum and has bad social judgement and is just immature in a lot of ways, is very direct and means what he says when he says it, even if it's often unrealistic or misguided. Is extremely technical, and honestly I think has better intentions, just gets in his own way a lot.

Dario is an odd duck but seems stable and good intentions, very technical (I think?).

Hasib, wow what a normal, likable guy, extremely technical.

Zuckerberg seems to finally be entering the chat in terms of big AI models.

I think Altman scares me the most, in terms of having control of this tech. Hasib probably seems the best to control it. Just in terms of if I had to pick one.

John McAfee figured this out in a couple days, and on moral grounds, decided not to name the guy. But he clearly came to the same conclusion.

And every time it works, they still don't acknowledge it. Would he have blown up bridges and power plants? Quite possibly. Would he have dropped a nuke? Obviously not.

Retreating into smaller and smaller echo chambers where they get their way?

Today's The Daily podcast has the author on as the guest, incase you want to hear him talk about his investigation.

The New York Times has some great journalists and does important work, but they certainly have an editorial bias/agenda on most topics, even though it's often subtle. People claiming they are neutral on most topics are just not seeing it, because it aligns with their slant. Just saying it's interesting to see when folks notice it or not on hackernews.

Ridiculous take. Israel wants a secular Iran, not a failed state. Most Iranians don’t hate Israel. They hate the Islamic regime. But westerners just looove to support all Iranian proxies these days.

The art of the deal, baby

With Anthropic able to use this model internally (since February), is this the kickoff of ramping up the flywheel of recursive self improvement of AI? It seems like as long as there are still humans in the loop at most steps, exponential recursion isn’t possible.

I don’t know, but any time I see an interview of Altman and I look at those eyes, I get creeped out.

Yeah and everything is just atoms. If you reduce anything enough it’s not real.

But how long until your wife replaces your job with AI?

Yeah i was wrong on that one, I think the X noise at the time as about the A-10 pilot that had been rescued.

I'll check it out, thanks

This flow feels so slow after switching to Conductor and running X number of tasks in separate git workspaces concurrently

Well obviously lights aren't using up much of that power, you're powering everything else too.

I mean that sounds nice, but the SLS rocket and Orion capsule are nothing new, they’re already outdated.

But yeah NASA is great at many things. Issacman is smart enough to know they don’t need to be in the launch busnieee anymore.

At least it’s not Meta Llama

Oh yeah, 1.01 Gs of endless propulsion will work. I was just arguing in the context of existing technology.

This is missing the point of their valuation. SpaceX will internally use their launch capabilities to build industries that no one else can. Starlink is already their main revenue stream. Starship will open up new realms of possibilities.

Lol

No, the absolute minimum speed IS required. Anything below that and you’re just making your orbit elliptical.

Of course lines of code is a meaningful metric. It's not like the author said it's the ONLY meaningful metric.
