Her answer was "if Facebook (before meta) is doing it then so should we."

I said we aren't facebook. But all the engineers sided with her.

Said startup failed after burning $XX million dollars for a product nobody bought.

I'm not sure why there are so many comments trying to downplay and argue around whether OpenAI was a whistleblower or not he fits pretty much all the definition.

OpenAI was suspected of using copyright data but that wasn't the only thing OpenAI whistleblower was keeping under wraps given NDA. The timing of OpenAI partnering with US military is odd.

how likely is it that an intelligent entity that precedes humanity came along and decided to chose chimpanzees to breed with?

anybody telling you they know what happened before the time we had written records are selling you something.

This comes as peculiar, the 3d world generation demo that was on HN a short while ago was quite lackluster—many commented how underwhelming the end product was despite the insane valuation and world names working on the product.

I'm getting Theranos vibes all over again. I certainly hope this isn't another grift by getting our guards down as it was with Elizabeth Holmes.

What I'm more disappointed in is that BlenderGPT aka TRELLIS is still not capable of producing truly segmented 3d mesh. The generated output is simply just a blob and not capable of replacing actual 3d modelers (yet).

I've already seen so many claims of being able to generate 3D but they have fallen short of expectation (including BlenderGPT/TRELLIS). Without segmentation, mesh optimizations, there is limited use.

We are so close but because everybody is chasing investment dollars they gloss over the ugly bits and even after 20 months of watching this space there has been little progress.

The true golden chalice of 3d mesh generation is a fully segmented, optimized mesh, UV texture map/material generation and pre-rigged. It appears we are far far away from it still as many FANG/Deepmind or large game engines should be the first.

Unfortunately until then we are stuck with investor dollar grift wrappers on open source products. Not just in 3D but across all domains that AI touches.

speaking of which anybody have recommendations? I want to run my own inference in colocation too

also apparently its a violation of Apple license if you run OSX on a non-Apple hardware?

so im concerned if I connect my VM to the internet and install OSX on my proxmox it will dial home to Apple :/

are you playing in the casinos? US I assume? tell me where the fishes are young man!

my attention instead is focused entirely on open source models and its competitors which are already pulling ahead without the need for fancy announcements.

Lastly, I really despise Sam for trying to cash out his non-profit RSUs and Elon Musk will most certainly prevent that from happening. While I'm not a grok simp or pay for X, I can already see OpenAI losing relevance.

For example announcement from Deepmind vs Sam's expressionless interviews has different energy.

I'm also not sure I would trust any fintech startup from YC after Yotta and Coinbase.

Matter of fact, I increasingly find YC rewards unscrupulous and morally cavalier founders and products that does more harm to society than good.

i find myself increasingly growing wary of YC affiliated founders not to mention the obvious CCP money involved.

Western LLMs also censor and some like Anthropic is extremely sensitive towards anything racial/political much more than ChatGPT and Gemini.

The golden chalice is an uncensored LLM that can run locally but we simply do not have enough VRAM or a way to decentralize the data/inference that will remove the operator from legal liability.

For example, if a strong pair starts off with a bad beat then it tends to continue that trend. The word trend doesn't mean its going to happen but that its likely to continue the past.

When someone continues exploiting this trend they have seemingly "broken" the game, it no longer functions like a calculated game of odds and when somebody plays like a maniac (like in the first scenario i mentioned) there is seemingly no other defense than to wait until the trend breaks but no matter how seasoned a player is they cannot shake the past and its perceived likelihood of continuing.

This effect is rampant in stock market as well when there is seemingly less "random" reinforcements and belief in the crowd which without fail has given rise to black swans/massive collective drawdowns of the world war causing variety.

this is a pretty robust approach except when visibility allows it. wonder if lidar + CV would work better here rather than a pure CV approach

nonetheless its an interesting approach as in some jurisdictions you need a permit to operate a drone, something autonomous like this could work without involving bureaucracy

cool boarders 2 come to mind
