- Comment on Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall 3 weeks ago:
Anthropic released an api for the same thing last week.
- Comment on Sample Text 1 month ago:
We’re Costco guys
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 2 months ago:
It’s cool but it’s more or less just a party trick.
- Comment on When A.I.’s Output Is a Threat to A.I. Itself | As A.I.-generated data becomes harder to detect, it’s increasingly likely to be ingested by future A.I., leading to worse results. 2 months ago:
How many times is this same article going to be written? Model collapse from synthetic data is not a concern at any scale when human data is in the mix. We have entire series of models now trained with mostly synthetic data: huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/…/phi3. When using entirely unassisted outputs error accumulates with each generation but this isn’t a concern in any real scenarios.
- Comment on OpenAI has built a text watermarking method to detect chatgpt written content 3 months ago:
About a dozen methods they could use arxiv.org/pdf/2312.07913v2
- Comment on Scientists illuminate a path to quantum AGI with new light-based chips 3 months ago:
New record for most buzz words in a headline.
- Comment on Minecraft. Family guy, even. 3 months ago:
Most of this seems true (or was at the time) but this is outdated now. Mr. Beast is no longer managed by Night Media.
- Comment on I too love watching CP 😍 3 months ago:
The animation is flashy but the plot and storytelling can’t even compare to the game.
- Comment on Critics question tech-heavy lineup of new Homeland Security AI safety board 6 months ago:
The names missing from the list say more about the board’s purpose than the names on it.
- Comment on Steam will stop issuing refunds if you play two hours of a game before launch day 6 months ago:
I assumed this was always the case
- Comment on Generating (often non-con) porn is the new crypto mining 7 months ago:
The main issue here is user knowledge and consent. Otherwise this isn’t a whole lot different from services like vast.ai offering on demand GPU rentals or the KoboldAI Horde. Based on the incentives offered it’s clear that they’re targeting younger or less savvy users which is a problem.
- Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track 7 months ago:
The “why would they make this” people don’t understand how important this type of research is. It’s important to show what’s possible so that we can be ready for it. There are many bad actors already pursuing similar tools if they don’t have them already. The worst case is being blindsided by something not seen before.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says Meta's Llama 3 is really good but no chatbot is sophisticated enough to be an 'existential' threat — yet 7 months ago:
The 8B is incredible for it’s size and they’ve managed to do sane refusal training this time for the official instruct.
- Comment on Instagram will blur nudes in messages sent to minors 7 months ago:
They’re already lying to get passed the 13 year requirement so I doubt it would make any difference.
- Comment on ‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets 7 months ago:
I’m sure the machine running it was quite warm actually.
- Comment on Grok-1 chatbot code released – open source or open Pandora's box? 8 months ago:
It’s size makes it basically useless. It underperforms models even in it’s active weight class. It’s nice that it’s available but Grok-0 would have been far more interesting.
- Comment on The FTC is probing Reddit’s AI licensing deals 8 months ago:
I feel like the whole Reddit AI deal is a trap. If any real judgment comes down about data use Reddit is an easy scapegoat. There’s basically nothing stopping them from scraping the site for free.
- Comment on To buy no longer means anything :( 8 months ago:
I got locked out of my now 8+ year old account because I had set it up with an old ISP provided email which has since been deactivated. I can’t migrate because I have to verify with the email and I can’t change the email without setting up security questions, which also requires the email. Support can do nothing.
- Comment on Midjourney Accuses Stability AI of Image Theft, Bans Its Employees 8 months ago:
I don’t think they care about the images being used, just the disruption of service. It’s pretty clear that this wasn’t a coordinated thing from Stability and was at most a lone individual acting in bad faith.
It’s pretty ironic though that the company that practices mass scraping has no rate limits to prevent outages due to mass scraping.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 8 months ago:
Who’s dumb enough to pay for that? Everyone else is just scraping it for free.
- Comment on OpenAI introduces Sora, its text-to-video AI model 9 months ago:
I’m looking forward to reading the paper
You mean the 100 page technical report
- Comment on “In 10 years, computers will be doing this a million times faster.” The head of Nvidia does not believe that there is a need to invest trillions of dollars in the production of chips for AI 9 months ago:
This isn’t neccesarrily about just hardware. Current ML architectures and inference engines are far from being at peak efficiency. Just last year we saw 20x speedups for llm inference on some hardware. “a million times” is obviously hyperpole though.
- Comment on Your AI Girlfriend Is a Data-Harvesting Horror Show 9 months ago:
This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.
- Comment on Vision Pro EyeSight feature doesn't really work, argues Macworld 9 months ago:
This is an article about another article, some top tier journalism. They’re right about the external display though. I’ve yet to see a positive comment about it, seems like just a weird gimmick that drains the already short battery life.
- Comment on Because AI and Crypto use to much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy? 9 months ago:
There is no such thing as “green” energy, all energy has an environmental extraction/capture cost. Crypto has insane per user power usage, AI isn’t quite as bad but it’s still much higher than normal websearch. Both should be used sparingly in cases where they actually make sense.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion 9 months ago:
Just a few more parameters, then the text prediction model will become sentient.
- Comment on MacBooks, Chromebooks lead losers in laptop repairability analysis 9 months ago:
The fact that you can’t buy the cable needed to unbrick a Chromebook, and have to solder it together yourself from Google’s schematics is ridiculous.
- Comment on Do you think that there will be another event like 9/11 in the next decade in the United States of America? 9 months ago:
9/11 killed more in one day than mass shootings have in the last 20+ years. statista.com/…/mass-shooting-victims-in-the-unite…

- Comment on Weaver: New Specialised Writing LLMs Outperform GPT-4 9 months ago:
Seems kind of like phi but for writing, the smaller ones are trained with 50B tokens and the largest is only trained with 18B.
