I was curious so I dug up the post and then checked property prices for the neighbourhood

gigabyte selling shovels (and not even just random shovels, specialty shovels that need a fixed type of mobo to use)
not gonna spend much effort on it now but if someone runs into an actual worthwhile review showing training performance numbers I'd be keen to see (my expectations are that it still does not do very much, and that runtime quality still underperforms relative to VC-subsidised platforms)
irl winced at this
yep, I was seeing some folks reckon it might be 20~30x what they’d make in later royalties. I’m not knocking the suit or the value to authors - mostly just wishing it were more so it might cause an even sharper effect
given the run rates all these fuckers have, I half expect they feel glad it’s “as low as it is”. couple of the authors I’ve seen speak about it reckon pay out better to them (once off) than they tend to get from book royalties (I saw chisnall and some others post around it earlier). precedent from this is probably a good thing, even if I wish it went harder (esp given how likely “a fine you can afford is just a tax” is to develop as a normal situation)
re burn rates: openai confirmed in the last day or so that it expects a $118b burn through 2028. fucking obscene
oh absolutely no intention of listening to the dork, just had to share the suffering once I saw the tweet
I am extremely, extremely sickos.png for having all these weird little fucks find out that all this nonsense is heavily subsidised by VCs
after that Flock shit that got announced recently, looks like garry tan is currently doing his damnedest to ensure people know he's absolutely full of it
thread starts here, features bangers like this
You're thinking Chinese surveillance
US-based surveillance helps victims and prevents more victims
"nooooo, we're the good kind of boot to have on your face! we're the boot from the same country as you!" says the boot in the rising fascist upswing
which naturally leads us to: having to fix a portage overlay ~= “compiler engineer”
wonder what simonw’s total spend (direct and indirect) in this shit has been to date. maybe sunk cost fallacy is an unstated/un(der?)accounted part in his True Believer thing?
