That is a good point, but I think I’d like to make the distinction of saying LLM’s or “generic model” is a garbage concept, which require power & water rivaling a small country to produce incorrect results.
Neural networks in general that can (cheaply) learn on their own for a specific task could be huge! But there’s no big money in that, since its not a consolidated general purpose product tech bros can flog to average consumers.
That’s an excellent point! Why oh why would a tech bro start a non-profit? Its always been PR.
Putting my tin foil hat on… Sam Altman knows the AI train might be slowing down soon.
The OpenAI brand is the most valuable part of the company right now, since the models from Google, Anthropic, etc. can beat or match what ChatGPT is, but they aren’t taking off coz they aren’t as cool as OpenAI.
The business models to train & run models is not sustainable. If there is any money to be made it is NOW, while the speculation is highest. The nonprofit is just getting in the way.
This could be wishful thinking coz fuck corporate AI, but no one can deny AI is in a speculative bubble.
Can’t SAGAftra do something about this? Was this not included in the strikes earlier?
Didn’t think it’d work, but a lucky guess!

They greedy af. They’ve lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it’d be a helluva lot more than 13b imo
Others commented about misogyny etc. in India miss the fact that India is (a) not a monolith & (b) flights are too expensive for 80% of India’s population (yes, wealth disparity in India is that bad). So the men on flights are less likely to grope women than let’s say a man on a train.
I asked my Indian colleagues about this, and they said they’d use this preference for space (not purely safety). One of them also said men smell worse than women so she’d prefer a woman next to her.
On Indian flights you can pay to choose your seat or let the operator choose for you for free. I suspect the latter is where the preference choice comes in. So there won’t be a question of seeing where women are sitting.
Fair point. Like if you took an still from a movie, they’d attack the actors in it.
I wonder if the anonymous nature of memes could “shield” authors making images of Mohammad? How would you track them down? Would be even more difficult on federated instances/ActivityPub.
I can’t say about Europe, but Asia doesn’t have the cultural pull for the muppets. I suspect China’s indifference to the Muppets makes it less lucrative.
Didn’t Google’s lighthouse have a metric for that? “Colour Contrast ratio” or something?
Valid*Public
Sorry, I think I chose the wrong word, I mean Public i.e., not conspiratorial.
Absolutely, this change makes it harder for people to quickly scroll away ads at the top & for ad blockers to seamlessly hide ads. With ad blockers your first page will be mostly empty & make google more annoying to use.
This is really great. Wendover Productions made an excellent video about electrification of flights a while ago.
Now the real question is: will world governments allow this Chinese technology into their countries? Protectionism is a valid *public reason to deny it, but I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?
Or is that too far fetched and I’m just way to cynical.
In your guys opinion, is that good or bad? Privately funded would mean proprietary & profit driven implementation for such a crucial technology (if successful). I personally don’t like it.
Oops! You’re right 🙈
That’s interesting. I’m not going to lament the death of the old studios system. Sure it worked some of the time, but it was mostly bloat. Side benefit of this being, as Stewart points out, people who loved their craft got a chance to get better at it over time.
Instead of cutting the inefficiencies, silicon valley “disrupted” the system, aka undercut existing systems at a loss for the all valuable market share. Now that they’re competing with themselves, they’re squeezing everyone involved: creatives, technicians & the audience to make their unsustainable business model magically sustainable. The illusion “tech will save us all” is failing, AI & everything-as-a-service is their last hope.
I don’t know what the alternative is? Pandoras box is open, we can’t go back to the older system anymore.
