Watch for sensationalist journalism

When I look at a news feed, I'm bombarded by all the half informed takes that don't provide context to prove a point. Yes, openai is losing money. So is every generative ai company at the moment. But how long did it take Uber to believe profitable? Facebook? Air BnB? or even all the new age sports gambling apps.

At least generative ai companies are trying to provide real value, instead of promote bad behavior. While ai is a tool that can be used to produce brain rot or detect cancer, a gambling app will never produce a statistically positive result. Yes, there is a lot of hype because there is potential value, but the blitz scaling used to rocket tech to the moon strategy didn't go away for the next silicon valley miracle.

More Power!

it's so interesting how many persepctives there are. on one hand, I've heard extensively that Chinese construction is sub par, whether it's the silk road initiative that has produced... interesting results, or even their domestic housing.

Yet at the same time, China is able to accomplish some is the most impressive civil engineering in the world like the three gorges damn or this new nuclear power plant. The ai race will be won or lost via infrastructure, everyone better hope their contraction is as least as good as China...

Wild West

it really is the wild west of ai when something as simple as repeating the prompt creates statically and significantly better results... without reasoning.

while not as useful as it might seem, it does show the severe limitations of ai as of now when hacky solutions like this work. there will always be better and worse ai users, but that will hopefully look like a greater understanding of the task and what it looks like step by step and across the larger problem instead of memorizing Internet hacks.
