A little shameless plug:

Ive just released a game built around this project on play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noobgiraff...

Has 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 puzzles. Generating 7x7 puzzles is long process and i think i may have to do it on cloud, but am planning to release them soon.

Seems like openAI spent ~7B on inference in first half of the year. Their revenue was 4B in the same time. They spent another 5B on rnd to deprecate their own, and rest of industry's assets.

That is for a governing body to look out for. NOT private companies. Governments have a job to run massive programs for socioeconomic welfare without carrying about profit.

Someone has to do it. Big pharma has a lot of money and if AI can reduce their costs in human resources, they will be willing to put some of their profits aside to further the research in AI space.

Money wells are drying up across the trch Industry and ai companies will have to look for funds from adjacent industries like biotech and medicine.

Did anyone else notice that the base storage has been upgraded to 512G? I knew this was coming after iPhone 17s storage upgrade!

I often wonder, what if the AGI responds with "idk man, your situation seems pretty messed up". It will be comical

Whats the point? These models are still unreliable in every day work. And they're getting fat! For a moment, they were getting cheaper, but now they are only getting bigger and this is not going to be cheap in the future. The point is, what are we investing a trillion dollars in?

I mean, progress is already getting slow in llm development space and their qwen models are, well, good enough for time being. Meanwhile, its good for the world that they are working on their own chips, that way nVidia will have to stop being comfortable.

This is step in good direction for everyone except nvidia and its chinese distribution network

Check sum of free cash flow of major tech co.s. you'll soon find out that the cash needle of industry as a whole is not moving that much.

They are just round tripping the cash that was sitting in their accounts through investments that make their way back through advertising channels or compute channels.

Once you see the bigger picture, you'll realise its all just a Fugazi post covid

Given how much these CEOs are hallucinating these days while hopelessly losing money on every venture they pursue, I think AI is leaps and bounds ahead of these idiots for decision making.

The problem is open ai's deal with the devil (microsoft) where they own a copyright to all the models that open ai produces until AGI. So what is the moat driving that $300B valuation?

I really hate to pirate, but when publishers are in bed with scums like amazon and ignore these acts of greed, they might as well deal with piracy because we really need a tool to humble them

Honestly, US is really not in a good shape to support your argument.

If aristocratic figures had so much power in EU, they wouldnt be fleeing from the union.

In reality, US is plagued with greed, scams, mafias in all sectors, human rights violations and a economy thats like a house of cards. In contrast, you feel human when you're in EU. You have voice, rights and common sense!

It definitely has its flaws, but atleast the presidents there are not rug pulling their own citizens and giving pardons to crypto scammers.. Right?
