There are competing terms currently being decided on by the market at large: AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

It really annoys me the industry seems to be narrowing in on the two worse options rather than AIO.

it's also very much not, because it always sounds like it might be authoritative, but you could be reading something hallucinated

I keep hearing this repeated over and over as if it’s a unique problem for AI. This is DEFINITELY true of human generated content too.

The truth is, if there was no AI tech developed, we would not need to regulate it so that greed does not take over.

Same could be said for the Internet as we know it too. Literally replace AI with Internet above and it reads equally true. Some would argue (me included some days) we are worse off as a society ~30 years later. That’s also a legitimate case that can be made it was a huge benefit to society too. Will the same be said of AI in 2042?

The level of hallucinations with o3 are no different than the level of hallucinations from most (all?) human sources in my experience. Yes, you definitely need to cross check, but yes, you need to do that for literally everything else, so it feels a bit redundant to keep preaching that as if it’s a failing of the model and not just an inherent property of all free sharing of information between two parties.

And nobody outside those companies knows how they work.

I think you meant to say:

And nobody knows how they work.

The saying goes:

From 90% to 99% is a 10x reduction in error rate, but 99% to 99.999% is a 1000x decrease in error rates.

The bandwidth between macs isn't enough to do inference effectively.

While it’s certainly no where near the memory bandwidth, 80Gbps is on par with most high end, but still affordable, machine to machine connections. Then add on the fact you can have hundreds of gigabytes of shared ram on each machine.

This is the power consumed by the light source for one photo tool on one line.

Actually, it’s not if you read the linked article. Try harder with your indignant reply next time to an entirely factual post. Sheesh!

Further, here’s a >one hundred megawatt generator installation (yes, used, but it’s always call for quote otherwise online) for a small fraction of the price of the EUV machine in case I need to further prove my point.

https://www.uspeglobal.com/listings/1705462-used-100-mw-2004...

There’s also multiple GE LMS100 generators installed in Texas and they each provide ~115MW of power. So not unprecedented for installation in the state either!

Thanks for sharing the link! 1.3MW really isn’t that high of a load though. Thats a very straightforward load to be able to support via diesel generators. As an example, a typical large datacenter uses an order of magnitude more power, yet stays online following a grid outage.

But the type signature of:

int -> int

Is wrong. At minimum it’s:

Optional[int] -> int

Because you provided a default value so clearly it’s not required to provide an input parameter. It’s also wrong to assume `0` is an int. There’s other valid types it could be. If the default was say `42`, I’d be pushing back a little less (outside of the Optional part), but this contrived example from GP had 0, which is ambiguous on what the inferred typing must be.

and, obviously, the inferred type (int -> int) is correct.

No it’s not. It’s Optional[int] -> int at minimum. There are other completely valid signatures beyond that too.

Because it shouldn’t in function arguments. The one defining the function should be responsible enough to know what input they want and actually properly type it. Assuming an int or number type here is wrong (it could be optional int for example).

A human WILL NOT make up non-existent facts

Categorically not true and there’s so many examples of this in every day practice that I can’t help but feel you’re saying this to disprove your own statement.
