There was about 50 different origin conspiracies.

Vaccine absolutely was proven to work in reducing deaths and building immunity in the community.

Lockdowns absolutely slowed the spread of COVID to allow the hospital systems to rationalise the limited PPE.

Really? I missed the evidence that the vaccine was mind a controlled experiment linked to 5G funded by Bill Gates that killed everyone who had the vaccine within 6 months.

So am I understanding correctly, putting a listening device into a conference room gets you fired and arrested but hacking multiple partners, governments and other institutions is just normal part of business?

Em dashes are commonly used in most countries that speak English. I get the feeling that people from the USA don’t use them often and now have tarnished the use of them.

Hey. When you accidentally double tap on the joystick it zooms in and you cannot zoom out. This is a known issue with threejs.

Coding is only one part of software. There is resourcing, financing, research, planning, design, development, testing, distribution, training and support.

So much easier then JavaScript/typescript, Python, and many other languages.

I had Sol 5.6 about a month ago populated a test account, take screen shots, write a script, used ElevenLabs TTS, with Remotion. It did an amazing job.

Surely there has to be some responsibility.

When I was a graduate 20 years ago, the partner would sit with a print out of every word I wrote and a red pen marking every change required, as the partner knew anything that was written in his name had to be exactly what he would have said.

Same needs to go for LLMs, leverage them for productivity both make sure you are owning their output.

Sovereign AI is going to be the next frontier. It’s apparent that all nations need to prepare themselves for possible challenges from foreign hyperscalers facing laws that are being rushed through to alleviate fear caused by fear mongers.

An intern who was there barely a minute, who has said nothing of substance. Surely we can get a better source with concrete evidence rather than the vibes of junior burger.

I agree with the host of the All In podcast, often I don’t. This is about creating a moat that open source models cannot compete with, regulation.

It is purely ensuring only a few providers can compete.

The future is edge and open source models.

Both Apple and Google are working towards this.

Cloud AI will be for offloading when the edge is not capable.

Most cases edge will be suffice.

Further inference costs keep coming down.

Vertical integration might be the biggest challenge of the AI industry. Trying to manage electricity generation, training, inference, harness and end user for enterprise and consumer is a lot of moving parts.

OpenAI is killing it now that they are more focused. Killing projects like Sora et al have seen it go from irrelevant to level footing with Anthropic.

Sol is so much better than Fable 5. Then we get Astra (yet to use it) few days after Fable 5.1 (which is very impressive).

Codex is slightly better than Claude Code.

Good on Sam Altman getting back to basics and turning OpenAI around.
