Thats because the goal of the start-up is to prove they have a viable business not build fancy tech.

True, but you have to add up the cumulative token output if your being fair. That alignment issue requires another set of input and output tokens to correct.

Please do an update when you're ready, this sounds like madness to me so I'd love to see what the output is. Whatever it is I have to know.

People say that but the quote. " I can sooner imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism." Always comes back to me. Personally I think it won't be communism but communalism.

I don't watch much of it but I do think Apple TV could end up a big winner in the TV wars. The shows they put out are quality and you know they are going to be renewed unlike a Netflix. It seems the strategy is to go for HBO's old position as the king of quality but that is built over decades.

Did you not see how long it took in Syria? Did you miss ISIS? the massive number of groups splintered off? Sure people hated Assad but what it took to get rid of him was horrid. If any thing the Iranians are probably scared that this is what will become of them I know I would be.

Makes alot of sense and token cost reduction is obviously going to be a factor in the future of development, Something sets of my spidey sense though. Is Wasp mature enough for an LLM to understand how it functions when you go off the beaten path and try coming up with novel solutions?

An aspiring poor is better than a poor thats given up hope. The VC model only extracts capital if the potential is reached. If not then the business is at least keeping people off benefits while they try. Heavy taxation and then increasing the civil service to absorb job losses just leads to a bloated stagnant economy.

The main reason for this was employers could cut your hours if they had a poor month and needed to balance the books. Which is understandable for smaller businesses. Then the bigger companies went nuts with it and ended up massively changing the dynamics of work.

This change should go further in killing off the zombie companies that exist which means another spike in the unemployment rates. Coupled with the figures on the UK topping AI replacement of workers charts things are looking really grim.

The UK desperately needs a functioning angel and VC culture to absorb this but it looks like the cart has bolted before the horse.

I don't want to be a douche but for a UI website this isn't very good. It's a pain to view the actual components that would be created.

Give me one aspect in which that has actually happened? I'm wracking my brains but can't think of one. We are a weird species in that even if we could replace ourselves our fascination with ourselves means that we don't ever do it. Cars and bicycles have replaced our ability to travel at great and small distances and yet we still have track events culminating in the olympics.

Took them long enough, This was predictable and dangerous. It's a real shame because Elon's goals of allowing an unrestricted AI are somewhat noble even if the execution is haphazard and horrendous. The combination of X's userbase and that technology made this almost inevitable.

One of the saddest things I heard was a young kid say he's never heard the word masculinity unless it was paired with the word toxic before it. With that kind of attitude is this any wonder?

Amazing that this what finally brought them down, BBC editorial has been so awful for so long. The worst part being that it is so obvious in its agenda's. I really don't expect anything to change though the establishment will protect itself at all costs.
