When did I say to stop using computers? You don't prefer to think for yourself? You're cooked.

It a terrifying path we're taking, everyone's competency is going to be 1:1 correlated to the quality and quantity of tokens they can afford (or be loaned).. I prefer to build by hand, I also don't think its that much slower to do by hand, and much rewarding... Sure you can be faster if you're building slop landing pages for your hypothetical SaaS you'll never finish but why would I want to build those things.

I get what you mean but they're all over twitter, its not random levels of enthusiasm, follow a few heavy llm users who tweet a lot and you'll see what I mean.

Its because llm companies are literally building quasi slot machines, their UI interfaces support this notion, for instance you can run a multiplier on your output x3,x4,5, Like a slot machine. Brain fried llm users are behaving like gamblers more and more everyday (its working). They have all sorts of theories why one model is better than another, like a gambler does about a certain blackjack table or slot machine, it makes sense in their head but makes no sense on paper.

Don't use these technologies if you can't recognize this, like a person shouldn't gamble unless they understand concretely the house has a statistical edge and you will lose if you play long enough. You will lose if you play with llms long enough too, they are also statistical machines like casino games.

This stuff is bad for your brain for a lot of people, if not all.

They don't want competition, they are going to become bounty hunters themselves. They probably plan on turning this into a part of their business. Its kinda trivial to jailbreak these things if you spend a day doing so.

Its funny watching llm users act like gamblers. Every other week swearing by one model and cursing another, like a gambler who thinks a certain slot machine, or table is cold this week. These llm companies are literally building slot machine mechanics into their ui interfaces too, I don't think this phenomenon is a coincidence.

Stop using these dopamine brain poisoning machines, think for yourself, don't pay a billionaire for their thinking machine.

There's usually more edge baked into the No side in all prediction markets, because a little too much money usually gets poured in to yes, for obvious reasons. Its been this way in sports markets for decades, there's no fun in betting no so lots of dumb money ends up on Yes.

Sam had this pulled off the front page, because the whole charade obviously isn't getting him the positive attention he was looking for.

Its neural network autocomplete that helps you write text a little faster, chill with "the most revolutionary technology of the last decade/century" talk. You're offending a lot of experts in way more important areas of research.

Knowing Sam, this entire event was fabricated or done at his behest.

AGI will be democratized when its discovered.... just right after AWS, Microsoft and Oracle finish their 6 month beta test.

There was a point in time when crypto miners bought tons of capacity from TSMC months and years out and reneged on those contracts. Means nothing.

Factories for car parts employ about 1000X more people per square foot than a data center and aren't actively contributing to decreasing the amount of jobs for people in a state.

Its unwise because they are going to have a 5-10k a month bill on enterprise pricing, whereas, for $6-10k a month you can rent and run your own hardware and get a solid 3-4 concurrent sessions for your engineers with a 1T param OS model and save thousands per developer a month.

I'm the same, and its relatively trivial to build these types of systems on top of aggregators like openrouter.
