  • programmers learned what N means in statistics and immediately realized that “this N is too small” is a cool shortcut to sounding smart without reading the study, its goals, or its conclusions. and you can use it every time N is smaller than the human population on earth!

  • this particular abyss just fucking hurts to gaze into

  • ‘AI is here to stay’ — is it, though? What do you mean, ‘stay’?

  • the reason why we’re calling AI a bubble isn’t because we think the people illegally running gas generators to power their datacenters have suddenly grown a conscience

    we’re calling it a bubble because just like with NFTs, there’s no use case for LLMs or generative AI that stands up to even mild scrutiny, but the people funneling money into this crap don’t seem to have noticed yet

  • what the numbers show is that nobody gives a shit. nobody’s paying for LLMs and nobody’s running the models locally either, because none of it has a use case. masturbating in public about how invested you are in your special local model changes none of this.

  • case in point: you jacked off all night over your local model and still got a disappointing result

  • Yudkowsky got wind of his skepticism, and reached out to Ross to do a discussion with him about the topic. He also requested that Ross not do any research on him.

    I pinky promise I’m an expert! no you’re not allowed to check my credentials, the fuck?

  • you know, even knowing who and what Altman really is, that “politically homeless” tweet really is shockingly fascist. it’s got all my favorites!

    • nationalism in every paragraph
    • large capitalism will make me rich, and so can you!
    • small government (but only the parts that Sam doesn’t like)
    • we can return to a fictional, bright past

    so countdown until Altman goes full-throated MAGA and in spite of how choreographed and obvious it is, it somehow still comes to a surprise to the people in our industry desperately clinging to the idea that software can’t be political
