Via YouTube recommends, I came across this video about our favorite crypto pivot to ai NeoCloud data center company CoreWeave
How CoreWeave is near insolvency
Interestingly, the author is an LLM shill as evidenced by the video being caked with a hefty layer of copium.
Seems to have struck a nerve amongst the commentariat which didn't appreciate this kind of "FUD".
Against my better judgement I got into an argument with a promptfan on Bluesky. To his credit, aside from the usual boring arguments ("models are getting better, and better", "have you tried model xyz", "everyone not using chatbots will be left in the dust" he provided an actual example.
https://github.com/dfed/SafeDI/issues/183 It's a bug that's supposedly easy to test, but hard to reason about. Took the chatbot half an hour while it would take him several (allegedly).
Now, my first thought was: "If a clanker could do it (something that famously can't reason) then it couldn't be that hard to reason about."
But I was curious so I looked. Unfortunately it is an area I'm not familiar with and in a language (Swift) I don't know at all.
Probably should file the claim under "not true or false" and touch grass or something, but it's bugging me.
Any one y'all who could say if there's something interesting in there?
Was TPOT a Twitter thing?
If I recall correctly, TPOT literally means "That Part Of Twitter"
Joke's on him, Know-Nothing Know-It-All is also a trope.
This. Masayoshi son is selling furniture to YOLO more money into OpenAI.
Simon Willison writes a fawning blog post about the new "Claude skills" (which are basically files with additional instructions for specific tasks for the bot to use)
How does he decide to demonstrate these awesome new capabilities?
By making a completely trash, seizure inducing GIF...

He even admits it's garbage. How do you even get to the point that you think that's something you want to advertise? Even the big slop monger companies manage to cherry pick their demos.
Just felt like I got an aneurysm there.
(in unrelated things, first)
I wondered if this should be called a shitpost or an effortpost, then I wondered what would something that is both be called and I came up with "constipationpost".
So, great constipationpost?
Shamelessly posting link to my skeet thread (skeet trail?) on my experience with an (mandatory) AI chatbot workshop. Nothing that will surprise regulars here too much, but if you want to share the pain...

“Both what I’ve seen, and what the administration sees, is you all are one of the most respected technology groups in the federal government,” Shedd told TTS workers. “You guys have been doing this far longer than I've been even aware that your group exists.”

Well, maybe start acting like it champ.
It would be funny if someone was literally beating up servers with a wooden shoe.
Just something I found in the wild (r/machine learning): Please point me in the right direction for further exploring my line of thinking in AI alignment
I'm not a researcher or working in AI or anything, but ...
you don't say
I think I installed the cursed Windows 11 update on my work machine, because after taking several tries to boot, my second monitor stopped working (detected, but showing a black screen).
Tried some different configurations, and could make only 0-1 screens work.
Uninstalled the update and everything worked correctly again.
Thanks for nothing Microslop.
