Related Youtube video I saw the other day: “AI bubble will pop………....any day now.”

Companies boasting about committing felonies and trying to charge companies to run the uncontrollable super-hacking machines on their systems has got to be one of the stupidest marketing attempts ever.

Half the living standards. Will be uncomfortable, and likely violent.

There's a lot of loopholes. I think I read that it doesn't affect Blackrock at all. It will affect Blackstone, but there are enough loopholes for them too.

In my experience (of having my office 2-doors down from the CEO of a minor public company), most of his "work" was just meetings with other CEOs and execs over breakfast, lunch, dinner, golf, etc to discuss business deals, acquisitions, and such. Not sure how an AI could do that, as it was mostly a social/class/nepotism thing.

Same (but only 6 months). Min wage + commission. But, during election season, because the company didn't get commission, they just had the computers run through the lists and have us immediately hang up instead of going through the campaign scripts.

Amazon was junk level for a long time. I don't think it's uncommon for early, "grow fast at all costs" companies to have poor credit ratings. Though, Oracle really isn't an early stage company.

AFAIK, these companies are making record revenue.

I think they could significantly lower their costs if they turn their focus away from the race to "AGI." But, their valuations don't really make sense unless investors believe they will achieve AGI.

Windows and the fascist company behind it needs to die.

We need to bring back reverse dominance hierarchy. Even in systems more "fair" like democracy, many of the most popular politicians are just shitty people very good at manipulation. Just picking people at random to serve would probably produce better results.

It can speed up training and reduce the amount of training data needed. Well, at least if you have access to the output vector, which I guess you don't over the API. I think most "distilled" models you see for download don't do full backprop training, because it takes enormous amounts of compute, and instead use low-rank methods. The low rank methods really only change the style. Alibaba has the compute to do proper training.
