Don’t speedrunners normally choose Japanese versions of the game for faster text?

Recommend anyone interested in a agent framework lookup AutoGen by Microsoft

It’s kind of crazy really. Before LLMs, any type of world scale disaster you’d hope for what? Wikipedia backups? Now, a single LLM ran locally would be much more effective. Imagine the local models in 5 years!

What was interesting to me was how expensive this thing was, I wonder how much of that cost came from the software. Elon mentioned how they're trying to create a "world model" for their Tesla FSD, which has enabled them to use the same software for Optimus.

I'd imagine the future will be large "ready to go" Ai packages, which companies would tweak to their liking.

This is such an interesting use of semantic representation. I wonder if it could be used to map out cases vs outcomes, and determine sentencing outliers.

Why don't any of these major emulator teams build and release anonymously?

Nothing you wrote has a spec of evidence. The current administration has been clearly targeting Elon Musk and Tesla/SpaceX, so why on earth wouldn't Elon support their opponents?

I don’t think it’s possible, hence my point on societal changes. It’s unenforceable for the most part and would lead the last real free speech sites to really shut down.

It's incredibly sad we've come to this and the free speech "libertarian" nature of the internet is long dead. These laws, even if found "legal", are just a band-aid and won't change the underlying truth about how half the country (and most new immigrants) think of free speech.

Majority of the path has an extremely high chance of cloud coverage (70%), so maybe this alleviates that?

I wonder if the real killer app is Googles hardware scale verses OpenAi' s(or what Microsoft gives them). Seems like nothing Google's done has been particular surprising to OpenAi's team, it's just they have such huge scale maybe they can iterate faster.

Yup. If they want to restrict American citizens from accessing banking, they can do all that lending through private methods.

Well because these banks can only function from the money they borrow from the government, it’s insane they’re allowed to censor 1st amendment protected speech.

I hope the government regulations don’t just end at stopping the merger, but also disallowing these financial institutes from banning users for speech they deem harmful. Actual illegal use, sure, but im not sure how or why it’s legal for them to ban and remove banking abilities from someone for their political views no matter how “abhorrent”.

Good riddance. Journalists and the media have abandoned their roles as truthful arbiters forcing everyone into their biased corners (msnbc, Fox News, etc).

I want non sensationalized, truthful reporting and it’s clear only Ai can get me that. Human reporters are too emotional and it’s shown during the Trump era, and continued now.

That's because we're stuck with loads of dirty energy. The ultimate goal should be unlimited energy for everyone, but only sustainable energy. That first portion is rarely mentioned in the climate change community.
