One big problem they have is that it's not clear that there's any moat. Even things that seemed out of reach like video-audio diffusion models ended up being replicated extremely quickly. Now even Chinese food delivery services are training GPT level LLMs.

For that matter, it's unclear to me whether Sora 2 has been a failure or not. I keep hearing that no one uses it here on Twitter, yet I keep seeing Sora 2 videos on TikTok and every time I try to generate something it tells me it's busy.

Basically everything that happened with OpenAI is the result of superhumanly persuading some companies that they will continue having ChatGPT moments every year. Which, they might, who knows. But it's not guaranteed.

Even though I like AI, one thing that doesn't concern me much is the collapse of OpenAI, because it seems to me they may collapse as a result of increasing competition.

Not to be negative, but this seems a bit like the Obama upscaling meme

Is there a way to run Claude Opus with Google AI subscription without using Antigravity?

My man's just trying to find new creative ways to cash in before he gets impeached.

Because plagiarism isn't a term with legal meaning and can mean whatever you want lol

sounds wise but even this framing is a year out of date. people are talking almost exclusively about what they're doing with LLMs *right now*, and on top of that, what they're doing right now is exactly what the most hypebrained shill said would happen. so this is wrong about both now and a year ago

They're making the invasion of Iraq look like measured and reasonable realpolitik

This is literally going from the bargaining stage to the anger stage

Need me a girl who makes me post scismut cringe on the TL.

i don't trust people who are not weird tbh

Interesting how TBPN is changing the vibe of tech shows

Accurate

Old KDE vibes

So the idea is more like "Elon Musk/Sam Altman say they have a machine that can write, but it's a trick!", and that's a sort of thought-terminating statement. Of course if you're more like me you might agree more with e.g. Hinton's view on this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uccv...

I have to assume it's some sort of elitism. The problem isn't so much the text predictor but the idea that people are so dumb they wouldn't know when to stop using them and society would collapse to their vices, which has been a western neurosis for like 100 years I think.

I think the phenomenon of academics who believe that writing or art or whatever would disappear because of text and image predictors is very strange because it doesn't really make a ton of sense to believe.

Even though I absolutely hate reading AI writing, I am getting negatively polarized by the stunning incuriosity of so much of the professoriate about the objectively strangest technology in the last hundred years

The power structures are still strongly in place, so nothing will happen. I'd be really surprised to see that there's even any military action any time in the coming four years. And if there was, it'd have major effects.

They believe in the implementation of a broad new world order based on power and might, and all sorts of things relating to the establishment of AGI and ASI. It's all Yarvinian/Nick Land bullshit fantasies.

The art of the deal isn't dealing so good

Current model of what's happening is: - Trump's circle includes some people who genuinely believe in some fascist theory of power, where NATO is being dissolved, Europe is disappearing, and Greenland is important for realpolitik reasons (They're all crazy)

It seems to me that the problem with almost every "AI-enabled" product is that they're wrapping some random cheap LLM product and assigning it tasks where they're rarely even passable at them. If everything ran on Opus, it'd immediately make all of these products actually work.

Was worried I might have LLM psychosis but I asked Gemini and it said I’m fine

The Greenland thing is basically only explainable by some esoteric far right Dugin-like theory of geopolitics that is not quite inaccessible, but completely divorced from real-world geopolitics. From the outside it looks completely random. Literally a made up issue.

The art of the deal isn't dealing so good

Zitron prime disavows Zitron 2

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

lol we got another zitron folks

I believe in one conspiracy.

I think the musicians are mostly right about the AI music stuff on Spotify and Bandcamp

Internet political discourse is fantasizing about the things you'd ban if you had power one day, never trying to get power, and ignoring that the people with all the power all want to destroy you and would use all the power you'd give them to do it.

I've never watched any of the movies, but I thought this show is great youtu.be/C93GFpbp554?...

The Dilbert tv cartoon was way better than the strip. It was kinda standard but it actually had episode plots and it had fitting voices for the characters. And Scott Adams had almost nothing to do with it.

It's crazy how this guy has been coping hard about this for like 2 months now even though he has like 2 billion dollars and if he was a decent game designer he could fund 10 game studios developing 10 of his ideas.

I think the trick to Claude code is that Opus will continue beyond the limit as long as it's in the same prompt, so if you get a mega prompt that gets it to work continuously for like one hour you're safe

Also this song is Hans Zimmer's proto Dune soundtrack www.youtube.com/watch?v=oplE...

Dilbert is public domain lol

The thing about vibecoding is that you need a model that can understand and follow a spec carefully, and currently the only one that can do that is Opus

We watched the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy after watching LOTR because I wanted something to fill the gap afterwards, and I think I was right. Especially the third one which is 80% dumb and unnecessarily complicated and 20% one of the greatest fantasy films ever made.

It's actually kind of crazy how Trump still thinks that people "claiming asylum" means that they come from a mental hospital and it's become little by little more obvious that this misconception isn't a typo or a mistake and no one is able to correct him.

in a nutshell,

Honestly can't believe Opus 4.5 is from late November.

Not sure I'm comfortable with the Internet now whitewashing Scott Adams.

"viewer discretion is advised" fuck you I WILL tell all my friends

It's kind of funny that Max Headroom was supposed to be a polygonal 3D character (played by a real guy) because to TV producers in the 80s, 3D was the peak of the most dehumanized kind of art imaginable
