Nice! Good luck.

Love it. Position tracking in canyons is a much needed use case. Is there a link where I can follow your progress?

Does it have to be scarce for it to become a currency? It just needs to be regulated which I think it will be.

i like what you did with misnormer. it's like pobody's nerfect.

you are right, there will be revolt definitely. i think computing power will replace a lot of things though.

I hope not;

there are a few assumptions in this future- the biggest one is - we will have to attain a baseline intelligence which is useful for everyone which is not true today. even fable fumbles hard!!

second is that everyone will have to own a medium to use this intelligence (aka robots). like a currency is useless if you can't use it.

to me this is the least daunting scenario. all other scenarios lead to mass slavery.

I guess this makes sense for the scenario when we will use machine intelligence as a currency, maybe 15-20 years from now? - like I can pay 15 minutes of inference for a dozen bananas? and the banana seller uses those 15 minutes to do banana shelling or removing weeds from their farms or whatever i guess when robots are doing everything. right??

This is awesome. I worked on something similar a few months ago. It is a general purpose navigation system based on TERCOM and dead reckoning - https://github.com/deepanwadhwa/anumaan

I was going to cancel my gemini membership today ..... still going ahead. In my experience, gemini 3.1 pro, 3.5, 3.6 flash constantly lie too much about completing their tasks whereas sol (even though equally dumb) never claims something has been done when it hasn't been.

i looked at the animations, they look cool, and i don't think i will enjoy learning things that way. as someone else said, there's a lot of content already produced on these topics. i also think the level at which these animations are playing, they are actually hiding the 'complexity' of these topics.

Fun! If you click in the center of Nebraska, US - there are some angles for which you will never find 100k people.

Dario, as your unpaid therapist I would tell you that models are a commodity and you are having a hard time coming to terms with it. You are doing everything except accepting it. It's a common defense mechanism, but as your unpaid therapist, i will tell you that it's not going to work. Your company will cease to exist or exist like how ferrari or buggati exist.

In absolute terms, you are absolutely right but relatively i don't think so. if we were to compute private money divided by state resources for AI, i think china might have more share than the US. also, even if government spend in the US on AI is so high, shouldn't we get then some models for free? maybe thinking machines is doing that, but its funded privately by a16z.

In the end its really VC money (US) versus State resources (China). In my personal opinion, building reliable LLMs is kind of a fundamental science problem which if done right has the potential to help everyone regardless of the background, so it should definitely be funded by states resources (taxes etc), which is what China is doing. In them doing so, the rest of the world also benefits, I think its a net win.

dwa3592 — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 22:45:30 +0000

this is good to see. i also trained a stt under 500kb for sub dollar chips. it had about 20 words that it could understand(like start, stop, left, right, go, up etc) and then the spell mode where you could say the word spell and then say the individual english alphabets and close with spell. it was super fun to work on. these tend to be extremely unstable though, like confusion between p and t (at least for my accent). will have to try this one now.

lmao, wasn't xAI caught doing this recently? moreover at least moonshot is being honest about it.
