Everyone here is so far from a normie it is almost painful. Dead internet is an outcome of supply and demand.
The fundamental issue is that a plurality of humans pref the direction things have gone and are moving in. Is it a good direction? By this crowd’s standards, no.
To be clear, i dont like either but when i watch the speed kids swap between 5 insta accounts and 3 reddit accounts, it seems the majority are happy with it.
Let’s not kid ourselves: Every day, multiple “I just asked the LLM to clean up my notes” posts are voted up to the front page here, often with highly engaged, appreciative comment sections.
LLM’s for all their faults are well-trained to produce what we want.
In saas this is not true. Most saas is highly profitable or was i suppose because they knew that most of their customers would never max out their plans.
Oof ima be the one to say it depends. This is personality based and the truth is a successful product has both. Even late on u want that person willing to break convention to find a new way of doing something. Early u need some seasoning in there too.
I call this being ethically convenient. I think anthropic is playing to the crowd. This admin will be gone soon enough so no need dragging the brand into mud. Just need to hold out. They have enough money that walking away from the money isnt impressive. But pissing off the gov is pretty fun and far more interesting.
There is a name for it, feel good policies and cali is not unique.
People who dont understand the problem must pass a solution that makes people feel good. Clean needles, homeless hotels, etc. If they dont make things worse, that is a win.
All the ai gov drama is a giant shrug to me. The reality is uncle sam has all the power and whatever comes out of industry sam is gonna sam with just like any other gov.
Ethics dont exist on the global stage. The privacy ship sailed decades ago. It all looks performative to me across all sides.
The smart move is to side with gov using some hand wave jutsi about “we have a contract” to get access to sams big nuts. Sam aint gonna respect no contract regardless of what is in. He breaks all laws without consequence for the last 60 odd years.
Unless people start starving, no revolution is gonna change the status quo here. It is like 9D marketing/branding chess for ai companies
I'd really like you to understand that saying this kind of thing means you're taking the government's side, even if you do it with cool ironic undertones. I'm religious enough that I'm particularly sensitive to this dynamic - there's a lot of pastors out there who talk about how we live in a fallen world as an excuse for why we don't need to bother opposing some particular injustice.
The whole, if u are not against them ur for them, argument scares me as so much more bad comes from it.
I am honest. I remember all the crypto validators buckling to sam when pressure came over sanctions. Same happened back with land lines, cell networks, and now AI too. All governments do this.
I dont like it. I dont want it. I vote against it. And it still happens. So i shrug as once again the same thing happens.
I used quad trees in a janky fractal compression schema starting big and only moving small if a feature couldnt be represented in the larger space. It kinda worked. And then you add motion into the mix with oct trees. Love this stuff.
