Very cool!
- Comment on AI boom has caused same CO2 emissions in 2025 as New York City, report claims 1 day ago:
That’s not exactly what Lecun said, he simply was criticizing the commercial approach of Meta and the lack of research. He himself thinks he can do more with just a different approach, not “unknown” tech.
Meta, however, is only one of the companies working on it and they seem considerably behind competition currently.
People complaining that things crash is in fact very anecdotal and, even if it was true, LLMs being not that good yet isn’t news and we aren’t talking about that.
Same goes for the fact that LLMs aren’t anywhere close to AGI, like marketing teams try to pretend.
On the other hand though, I have heard university professors saying that coding through LLMs is improving constantly and so rapidly that they think it is very likely that they will become widely used tools even for professional programmers in the near future.
The time saving is game changing for any such activity.
Should be also noted that we are seeing big improvements in time frames of months and LLMs have been “mainstream” for not that long yet. It’s so early to say what can or cannot be achieved in my opinion.
Lastly, I’m not saying the bubble won’t pop. If I had to make a prediction the bubble will pop, some companies will burn to the ground but some others won’t because they were playing a different game the whole time (Google is the first example that comes to mind), which is why I think it won’t be the catharsis every anti-AI person is waiting for.
As for AGI, I would dare to say that we’ll get there too, but it’s a useless prediction with no value.

I’m doubting it is genuine.
Not only I find it weird that he would say such things in a letter that was going to be read by anyone, potentially, but I never believed and still don’t believe that he killed himself.

Why should they hide if AI companies are doing it too and even profiting from it without repercussions?

Sounds pretty good

Is it though?
I genuinely fear you all waiting for that supreme bubble burst will be either left waiting or be extremely disappointed when it happens.
Time will tell I guess.

I am sorry to tell you that nowhere is “cool”. Or at least nowhere the main online services are located.

This and also the models are growing and, assuming it will be achieved, AGI will require even more energy.

What are you blabbering about?
- Comment on OpenAI’s Chief Communications Officer Is Leaving the Company 1 week ago:
Yep, but you know people like to cry when things change…
- Comment on OpenAI’s Chief Communications Officer Is Leaving the Company 1 week ago:
That’s factually wrong, you should probably get out of your bubble from time to time.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Chief Communications Officer Is Leaving the Company 1 week ago:
So you would erase a technology just because your “peers” use it for “cheating”.
Sounds like a very boomerish reasoning, are you sure you are in 12th grade?

That’s one of the uses of AI I look forward to, not through a closed source paid service though.
- Comment on Why The AI Bubble Was DESIGNED To Burst 1 week ago:
No worries, I am not reading it as preaching.
Basically what I try to do is minimizing the interaction with Google and have some sort of redundancy.
So on my phone I connect to a VPN server and use NewPipe for music. I’m fine with that considering that it is just music and lots of people could have similar activity.
On desktop I connect to another VPN server and use Piped (or Invidious) because the content I watch is mainly from my country (different than the server location although I’d still avoid it no matter the location) and I feel like I could easily be the only one doing it, so even if it is a VPN IP I prefer to not associate it at all with my activity.
Also the server I usually use is blocked by Google anyway, same goes for other that I frequently use on desktop.
In the case I REALLY need to open a YouTube video I do it only on desktop through Mullvad Browser from yet another server that isn’t blocked by Google
On top of that I don’t have a google account and I don’t use other Google services, not even Play Services on my phone.
Disclaimer: I’m not an expert of anything involved here, I just follow my instinct 🤣 so if something I do seems uselessly complicated, it probably is.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
All the supposed changes are only about Firefox not Gecko and we haven’t seen anything yet, so what’s the direction they are headed in?
Just relax and see what comes instead of losing confidence before anything happens.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Yes, but it is still only an engine.
Also Mozilla hasn’t done anything wrong with Gecko that could make one question its motivation or direction.
- Comment on Why The AI Bubble Was DESIGNED To Burst 1 week ago:
Yes, I use a VPN for basically everything I do online, but I still don’t want Google to link the IPs I use to the content I’m interested in.
And I know NewPipe works with video, I meant I strictly use it for music (behind VPN) and nothing else for the reason above.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Definitely a good thing and definitely (possibly) an improvement.
However Gecko is open source too and, more importantly, the engine won’t make a difference on the browser, which could still have all the worst possible features while still using the Servo engine.
Not trying to be a doomer here, I look forward to Servo and its adoption in Firefox.

Install Firefox and disable telemetry, that’s pretty much what Fennec does.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Fennec is slow to update actually (because of F-Droid mainly) and also it is NOT comparable to Librewolf.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
From your comment it seems you don’t truly understand what Servo is.
How is it a “hope” for you?
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
You mean the same Claude from Anthropic? The same Anthropic working with Palantir?
And then you are here shitting on Mozilla…
You guys are a joke!
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Firefox, Firefox Focus, Fennec, IronFox.
Plenty of choice for different needs.
- Comment on Why The AI Bubble Was DESIGNED To Burst 1 week ago:
That’s still not a solution for some.
I for one still won’t open videos that way to not link my IP/client with contents I am interested in.
NewPipe is strictly limited to music.
Piped is for watching stuff.
