Basically most of the technology was US govt funded at some point. Now the Dutch can just leech off of that. I guess that’s what they’re good at considering their long history with VOC and “mercantilism”.
So they used pirated materials to train their models but others can’t use their models for training even if you pay.
It is not SOTA. Give me a break. Sure, run it on Cerebras to get speed but that’s pretty much its advantage.
As much as I detest Zuck, he was right about Twitter guys.
Even if you never use Blender, I highly recommend you to donate to the organization if you happen to donate to non-profit tech organizations/projects.
It’d pretty much Houdini plus render engine of your choice. Blender will eventually get there especially if someone rolls out an AI module.
Intelligence was always relatively cheap. You can pick up a phone and get answers for free in most academic settings.
Company run by consultants and MBAs.
Say what you want about these Chinese models but they sure create competition and urgency in the space.
If this is a sign of what’s to come from OAI, it’s going to be worse than Meta devices.
CS degree is not all that fun. You’re better off doing math and just learning to code on the side.
To be fair, you do research at school.
I actually think that’s warranted. And if you used it to poke around, you would also agree.
This is like asking why isn’t the US better at Cricket.
And all you need is pen and paper to do calculations.
Adults ruined LEGO. There I said it.
AMD is not a good company. They stopped innovating after Intel was put down. Except, now Intel has govt backing while AMD will face significantly more competition from not only x86 but arm. Stock price says otherwise but I think they had more than enough time to catch up to Nvidia and simply refused to compete.
I think this signals game over in the arms race.
Unfortunately insider trading happens all the time in commodities and isn’t necessarily illegal. It depends.
I’ve some family in medicine and it scares me how much they now rely on AI. Some even quote it like Bible.
Biggest ripoff in academics.
There should be a cheap open source calculators for schools and exams. It’s ridiculous that TI is still charging this.
95% of the population is educated to think inside of the box and just rely on repetition/memorization. There’s not a lot of thinking happening in this world outside of a very small group of people. AI is not going to change that reality at least not until we educate our children for the AI age.
Gold has been a vehicle for cartels for a very long time. It’s shifted to crypto in recent years but gold is still the cleanest (and most economical) way to clean money.
So you hire people who “don’t even own their own computers?” You might be the problem then.
Constant complaints about Anthropic. Not much on OAI/Codex. It seems people should just use OAI and come back when they realize compute isn’t free elsewhere.
Prototypes of what? What new products came out of Block in the past six years since pandemic? This makes it sound like Block is a place of innovations when it’s just a rent seeking enterprise.
You just might break that 10K visit from Spanish tech blog in 2017.
I detest Apple for constantly bothering me at the store for small business sales pitch. Apple Store experience has really gone down the hill.
It’s the best OS drive especially p5800x.
My experience was quite different. It was on par with open source models from China (and it was priced as much) and could never replace Sonnet/Opus/GPT5.x.
