There’s a few good articlesout there if you have the time. It boils down to stolen code, forced identification and enshittification.

You scoff but this is already being done in China. They desolder good chips from bad cards and add them to a mule card.

I mean what you’re proposing was the initial push of gpt3. All the experts said, these GPTs will only hallucinate more with more resources and they’ll never do anything more than repeat their training data as a word salad posing as novelty.

I was unclear I guess, I was talking about injecting other models, running their prediction pipeline for the specific topic, and then dropped out of the window to be replaced by another expert. This functionality handled by a larger model that is running the context window. Not nested models, but interchangeable ones dependent on the vector of the tokens.
Currently this is handled with MCP servers and as I understand it those use natural language.

Ah I see, however you do bring up another point. I really think we need a true collection of experts able to communicate without the need for natural language and then a “translation” layer to output natural language or images to the user. The larger parameters would allow the injection of experts into the pipeline.
Thanks for the clarification, and also for the idea. I think one thing we can all agree on is that the field is expanding faster than any billionaire or company understands.

Sure, but giant context models are still more prone to hallucination and reinforcing confidence loops where they keep spitting out the same wrong result a different way.

Fundamentally no, linear progress requires exponential resources. The below article is about AGI but transformer based models will not benefit from just more grunt. We’re at the software stage of the problem now. But that doesn’t sign fat checks, so the big companies are incentivized to print money by developing more hardware.

Also the industry is running out of training data
https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21462v1
What we need are more efficient models, and better harnessing. Or a different approach, reinforced learning applied to RNNs that use transformers has been showing promise.

If you’re so inclined, that’s mozilla native but it’ll port to most browsers. You can install local for dev and test before you sign and push to the official addons repo at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/

You just point your tailscale clients to a headscale VPS. Cannot run a CDN proxy to the domain name. Also you get headplane and other goodies.
Read through the repo, but I have deployed this to a VPS and I am really happy with it

It’s a mesh for wireguard with DERP and MagicDNS so you can segment traffic, do availability groups, point to point all from the same service.

https://github.com/meerzulee/headscale-setup
It packages headplane which is similar to crossplane and has a pretty intuitive webgui. Just make sure it’s well secured, https, reverseproxy yadda yadda
Neither wireguard nor headscale nor tailscale will work through a cloudflsre tunnel and the wireguard/headscale server cannot be behind a CDN DNS proxy

- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 1 week ago:
IF you’re actually curios, it was because we used to import them, and the importers would dye them red due to discoloration in how they were harvested. Domestic production ramped up in the US and since pistachios didn’t have to travel as far, and because modern harvesting was more mechanized. It was easier to wash, dry, roast and salt them in a shorter time period avoiding the discoloration that required the dye in the first place.

Look, if we fix the bridges, roads, ATC towers, staff them, nationalize the toll roads, inspect the gas pipelines, replace the lead pipes, reform the corn subsidies, schools, fire stations, rural hospitals, nursing shortage, elder care, vaccine crisis, citizens united, dark money, and pedophile ring then what will the Democrats run on next year huh?
