You are severely underestimating how stupid/gullible the average person is.

Sounds interesting would love to test it out but here's what I got when I first tried to get some models downloaded.

On a 64gb Ram and 5080 machine the biggest model suggested was Qwen 9B

can hit 90+ tps on the MoE 35b but mag thinks it wont fit.

I am a smooth brained operator. very much the definition of vibecoding.

Last night I was able to give claude a task and they increased the classification accuracy from

81.3/89.9/92.1 to 90.9/99.3/99.6

In a little over 2 hours. In a task that up until opus 5.5 I was doing by hand/manually. and the day before was able to get the first results.

The intelligence explosion may just be user error.

This may be your experience

For mine I was on the fence - waited an hour or so and the delivery date went from early oct to 10-12 weeks so i decided to wait on the 512gb version

I cannot imagine the paranoia that it would take for me to go through this process.

You'll never feel ready but you will always be ready. One of my biggest regrets is not having kids sooner

Love seinfield's quote about kids -

"One of the nice things God does, is that he doesn't let people who don't have kids know what they're missing"

Google, TTD, Applovin, Magnite, Roku, Freewheel, + 100 more adtech and martech companies.

Lets add Facebook, twitter, openai, claude + all the others.

then lets add Flock, Palantir.

Do you honestly think the lobbying from them would be more or less if this bill gained any traction?

Bold idea but too much money on the other side to let this gain traction
