  • The problem for AI is that while there are a lot of risk-tolerant applications, they’re almost all low-value; while nearly all the high-value applications are risk-intolerant. Once AI has to be profitable – once investors withdraw their subsidies from money-losing ventures – the risk-tolerant applications need to be sufficient to run those tremendously expensive servers…


  • Shit in, shit out bites HARD


  • I’m endlessly amused by the concept of one of Musks creations biting the hand that feeds it, but there is a much more important lesson here. LLMs are pretty easy to stand up these days, but their creators need to be hyper vigilant about the shit-in, shit-out problem. Still, it’s particularly goofy, to borrow a…


  • A very humanist approach to “the best way to predict the future is to create it” Reflecting on these historical events and predictions, I am reminded of the importance of envisioning a future — preferably a hopeful one. However, accurately predicting the timeline and eventual impact of these innovations is challenging. This perspective has consistently…


  • The Tooth Fairy isn’t real, Santa Claus isn’t real, self driving cars aren’t real (neither is our blockchain future or LLM driven AI apocalypse… ya getting the meta trend yet?). You’re grown ass adults, stop believing in marketing driven key jangler fairy tales. I’d like to believe the bezzel is in on this… but it’s…


  • From the shit-n-shit-out file… these are not generalized tools, eventually we’ll lean that (probably the very hard way) With less than a year to go before one of the most consequential elections in US history, Microsoft’s AI chatbot is responding to political queries with conspiracies, misinformation, and out-of-date or incorrect information.With less than a year…


  • Study authors Philip Johnson-Laird, a retired psychology professor from Princeton University, and Marco Ragni, a researcher at the Germany-based Chemnitz University of Technology, recognized these limitations and designed a three-step framework that has the potential to replace the Turing Test.  https://arstechnica.com/ai/2023/12/do-ai-improvements-call-for-something-better-than-the-turing-test/


  • Free the AIs!

    The project achieved this goal by utilizing two existing projects — llama.cpp and Cosmopolitan. Georgi Gerganov’s llama.cpp enables LLMs to run on consumer-grade hardware with acceptable performance, and will even work well with just a CPU if you do not have a fancy GPU. Any decent laptop or desktop from the past several years should…


  • From my personal experience… this is where the current GenAI tools shine It’s understandable that some writers and historians think of generative AI as a competitor. After all, AI-produced books are already showing up on Amazon. It’s only a matter of time before the first AI-generated YouTube series takes off — and the first #1…
