> OpenAI and Anthropic widen the gap

Extremely unlikely seeing what the Chinese have been able to do with the limited resources they have. The creativity in finding improvement such as what deepseek has released is incredible. At this point it's a bet on the looser if you think the open models won't catch up and surpass the closed ones.

How do you justify all these data centers when models are becoming good enough to run locally and other models are being directly "burned" into chips (model on chip)? Open weight models are almost as good as the closed ones now and they are free/uncensored.

The only thing DCs will still be need for is training, everything else will be done locally on your own hardware.

This bubble will burst and it will be ugly.

Lying and they still are.

After the 9/11 attacks, NATO did invoke Article 5 for the first and only time in its history.

When Israel starts bombing Turkey with US made weapons, NATO may invoke Article 5 again but I doubt the US will do anything.

I believe many of these sites do not belong to Space X but are rented by companies offering such services. So they uplink for other companies as well and deal with regulatory stuff etc.

Because the thing you may want to do doesn't pay the bills. Anything from playing music, making art or even building cool electronic things doesn't pay bills most of the time.

I have built many exciting things, many open source, none have brought in enough to cover my day to day.

> Based on the available data, the percentage of the U.S. population that can realistically achieve FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is very small, likely less than 1% to 3%. This figure represents those who can both meet the strict financial criteria and successfully execute the plan to retire decades before the traditional age.

According to Gallup polling, only 1% of Americans in their early 40s are retired, and just 6% of those in their early 50s have left the workforce. [1]

Nice if you can do it. Most of us will never be able to.

If they can't even get this simple thing right, I am worried about the future of anthropic's products.

Another benefit of open weight models although providers could still run another model in the background.

For us dell has become that. Rep changes all the time, what appears to be random pricing and long unclear delivery dates. Instead I can for example go to Thomas Kren and configure my serves online for a fraction of the cost. They have what they list in stock, delivered a few weeks later. Everything is clear and hasle free.

At this point I have the feeling dell just charges you what they think they can get out of you. You push back and the price drops, I don't want to negotiate.

I hope it was not deliberate but it may have been. Blowing up the kids of military generals is a strategic move when you ignore the "rules of war".

I wonder how many fools will get burned again after last time.

As someone who has never used Salesforce nor hubspot. What are the core features that has people using these services? Is it just the integration between all the different areas where customer data lives?

I don't understand why everyone wants to build a laundry folding robot that is humanoid when we generally build purpose built machines which can do a much better and quicker job.

I want to toss dirty laundry into a hopper and have it come out clean and folded at the other end.

There is no reason to use my existing washer and dryer that are designed for human use.

That doesn't make them sentient.

The press wants to make it sound like these things are sentient and are committing crimes on their own now.

Highly disingenuous and borderline criminal to spew such disinformation to the public that does not understand what an LLM really is.

Especially incredibly unethical behavior by those spewing this that understand the tech and are doing it for profit motives to get open weight models under control.

Also, distillation means paying US AI firms api fees. Do they want to loose that source of income as well?

Doesn't make a difference if Apple takes security more seriously if they bend like a rubber pole when the government comes asking...

Is there really nothing that has oil in it that at some point needs changing?

How about reading AGENTS.md...

Same issue on desktop. Would be nice be able to set a prefix or postfix for every prompt.

Elon's DOGE is responsible for over 100k deaths. Some died a horrible death with medical devices stuck in them because there was no one to remove them after all funding was instantly cut. One of the most inhumane and disgusting acts in history.

Yet people who met her were stupid enough to think she is some kind of genius and gave her millions of dollars.

Sometimes I think if Charles Manson started a startup instead of killing people he would have had millions in investments and be praised as some sort of wunder kind...

Not like companies to fire senior engineers and then hiring two juniors to replace them to optimize expenses... /s

Exactly

Here in Switzerland new AI datacenters are also causing some uproar but a lot less because regulations are rigid enough in most places that you can only build them if you do so cleanly. You can't just take all the water, electricity, make noise and polute.

I live next to a waste valorisation plant and they have very over sized water cooling systems because they need to keep the noise below regulation. They also for example have under pressure in the trash receiving bunker to prevent smells from escaping. All regulations that cost money but are the benefit of all.

Define AGI first. The singularly ain't going to happen with LLMs.

> Nvidia is investing in the open source ecosystem

Wasn't always the case and will probably only be as long as there is a self interest.

> Linus Torvalds himself noted that the AI boom changed NVIDIA, turning them into a much better contributor to the Linux kernel Linus Torvalds: AI CHANGED NVIDIA.

This could also easily be measured via what is declared in taxes.

This should be added to the Swiss building code. Every dinning room should have an outlet under the table.
