<p>everything "Meta" does these days annoys the crap out of me. I laugh every time they get slapped around.<p>All we wanted for Facebook was a way to keep up with friends and family, not constant stream of garbage. Instagram was supposed to be about real-life photos and filters, now it's yet another eshitification and heavy handed deployment of AI and an awful Whatsapp clone.</p>

<p>Such a stupid regulation. Don’t make the rest of the world suffer because of one dumb law passed for a  fractional share of users.<p>This also, just another precedent of anti-user, pro Authoritarian, from LLM companies.</p>

<p>Well for the ding dong that downvoted me, here's a technical explanation of why this is a plausible theory<p>* current LLMs work by choosing next likely token, with a small randomization built in (emulating how humans sometimes substitute words)<p>* one implementation of the text marking is to "rig" the dice roll above, but do that on based upon a certain key<p>* so by looking at word substitutions in text, you can use a key verify it was generated by an llm.<p>* the algo is designed not to substitute proper nouns and some other asterisks... no idea if it's deterministic or not.<p>So yes, this is completely possible and even fits what happened.</p>

<p>Most sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine.<p>With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resiliency. Don’t expect the ability to do this forever.</p>

<p>Right now, the "economic model" of AI is "who has the best model", or really weights.<p>That'll go away eventually, just like operating systems eventually became free.<p>Instead, it's going to come down to selling inference hardware. We'll likely see the "apple" model where a custom OS runs on their hardware, but we'll probably also see more things like Cerebras become commodity hardware instead of kilowatt-class datacenter only hardware.</p>
