And we’re about to watch Anthropic go through the same thing with their IPO. Late-stage capitalism sucks.

I swear this is the real reason AI companies are concerned about watermarking - not for the public good, but so they can keep their model training inputs clean.

I honestly think this is one of the biggest challenges that needs to be solved. The constant jargon, poor naming choices and assumed prior knowledge of pages of text is extremely fatiguing. It only gets worse as the volume of LLM-generated content in your project increases.

We created an AI usage code of conduct at our workplace. One of the golden rules is “Don’t make other people’s jobs harder.”

As an example, we tried getting AI to generate weekly bug reports from analysing the most common crashes and asserts for the week, assigned to the right person with relevant context. It was a great idea, but too often the bug description and even the title required way too much jargon and comprehension to get through, and often the findings weren’t quite right anyway, so it was only useful as a marker of “look at this crash please”.

These walls of text people share with each other are another great example. If you’re going to do that, you really have to ask it to talk as simply and as briefly as possible with no context assumed. And then read it/correct it yourself!

Reminds me of Sam Altman saying he uses AI to make a podcast about his kids sports game so they can listen to it on the way to school. As if talking to your children wasn’t an option.

All these tech bros creating solutions in search of a problem.

Looking forward to when they ship the S28 with no camera and you just prompt an LLM for what you want a picture of.

Sorry

How was the experience? And worth the pain?

For real? That is some dystopian Minority Report level advertising right there.

This is what pisses me off the most - they committed PS5 to physical media the second they made a disc edition. Any reasonable customer would interpret that as discs being a viable format for the lifetime of the console. If they were making a call for PS6 and beyond I’d understand, but they took our money for the disc edition, then reneged on their commitment to it. There’s a class action lawsuit here for sure.

The other problem is bandwidth. Even if you can run Kimi K3 locally, AI usage patterns tend to be very bursty. Having the scalability of cloud compute to run multiple agents and sessions at once makes it much more usable.

Exact same strategy they used for Chinese EVs… head in the sand while China steals their global marketshare. I still get a chuckle when Americans paint Chinese EVs as poor/lesser quality.

Weapons of Math Destruction. A good read about algorithmic discrimination, this is more of the same.

If it was a Hideo Kojima game it would have been Fuck-hard Man

I would have understood them making this call for PS6 onwards - digital edition only. But while they’re still selling disc PS5s at eye-watering prices? What the fuck are they thinking? Way to burn good will with your ever-shrinking fanbase.

Plus you don’t know what you need to hide until it’s a problem with a future government. Look at what’s happening with ICE and immigrants right now. Based on America’s positive history with immigration, nobody in their right mind would have expected such a U-turn. See also Jews and personally identifiable census religious data during WWII.

You can do this with Jellyfin too, there’s lots of guides online on how to set it up. Requires a bit of self-hosting knowledge, but if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you have that.

I’m in the games industry and I can tell you first-hand nobody is making games targetting future hardware right now.

The pattern used to be to optimise assuming your current average hardware would be minspec by the time your game came out. That’s no longer true and everyone knows it.

If you pick up a used 3060, you’ll have a solid gaming PC for many years to come.
