    Shumer credits Glaive AI — a company he invested in — for its LLM special cases, like telling which number is bigger or how many times the letter “r” appears in the word “strawberry.” Those are the two examples Shumer named to VentureBeat.

    I quite often pondered how cool it'd have been to be a computer scientist like 50-70 years ago, you know, one of the pioneers, people on whose shoulders the entire tech sector rests now.

    Think about all the advantages! Maybe I'd get to talk to Turing! Maybe I'd invent a foundational algorithm that would be in textbooks forever! Maybe I would've fucking died before this absolute blight on our domain happened!

    edit: Well, in this case, not sure if this counts as "trying".

  • See, what he needs to do is really get inside the grift loop and pivot back to crypto ahead of everyone else. That way he can be at the front of the pack instead of yet another also-ran in the meta verse and AI grifts.
