  • Scam Altman says it’ll take another year before ChatGPT can start a timer. An $852 billion company, ladies and gentlemen.

  • The overconfident tone is baked in. LLMs don't have knowledge or world models, and all text they produce is nothing more than statistical relation of input to output based on frequency of appearance and semantic closeness. Therefore you can train the things to lean towards doubtfulness (nobody will use them) or confidence (wow, it must be true if it's this certain). It's abusing the human tendency to anthropomorphize to sell a really shitty product.

  • How is it LLM companies hoarding all the RAM and fabs complying, fucking up entire industries for years legal?

    Jump

  • They never bought the RAM, they put out a letter of intent to buy up to 40% of the global supply. Because business leaders are equal parts malicious and stupid, this lead to a run on RAM before prices spiked due to low supply, causing a price spike due to low supply.

    A letter of intent is not a contact and is not binding. It's the equivalent of a New Year's Resolution blog post.

    The fabs themselves work on multi-year contracts where the buyer commits to purchasing a certain capacity of the total production. If they expect to produce 100 million sticks in a year and someone offers to buy 40 million of them, it's still in their interest to have many buyers in case that customer can't follow through or backs out.

  • "Science isn't political!"

  • RFK's entire health policy is oriented around the false belief that all disease is the result of dietary choices, i.e. metabolic disorders that can be treated with supplements. The supplements market is unregulated and larger by far than the pharmacological market, but it doesn't really get a slice of public health money.

    RFK is trying very hard to make it possible for government dollars to subsidize pseudoscience health bullshit and the easiest way to do it is by promoting the idea that the cause of good health is diet and exercise and the cause of bad health is bad diet and no exercise. Which isn't strictly wrong, but it is a way for him to crowbar in fascist ideas about people with hereditary diseases and the disabled and so on, while cashing in on that sweet unregulated supplement money

  • Why Sora Failed: $15M/day inference cost vs. $2.1M lifetime revenue

    Jump

  • It's remarkable that they unflinchingly applied the platform capture model. Come roaring out the gates with a disruptor, severely underpriced so as to get a userbase and strangle out the competition, then enshittify to recover the lost revenue and enjoy the market domination.

    But that only works if you're disrupting an existing market! Sora isn't a TikTok killer. Sora can't make cooking videos or parenting advice videos or skits or reaction videos or short-form drama or travel vlogs or anything that people value watching. All it does is let you make slop of Charlie Kirk boxing Darth Vader at a traffic stop. An app where every user has unlimited access to the slop generator is an app where nobody watches anyone else's content and just custom generates their own, tailored to their specific lack of taste. You cut out the actually skilled content creators by the fundamental nature of the app.

    It's the same issue as that music AI slop app, Suno. The users only listen to the slop they generate for themselves. They're not creating music inspired by their role models or their artistic vision. They're not even listening to each other's slop. The entire generative slop ecosystem, all of it, is the pinnacle of alienation from others. It strongly rewards isolation and its inherent, sycophantic addictivity makes users spiral in further and further. And if it made money that would be something, but every generative slop project and company is massively, unfathomably net-negative!

    Fucks sake, there isn't even a reason to start a company in the LLM world because the only product is utterly interchangeable slop generators, fine-tuned to specific tasks. Cursor was the biggest name in LLM coding, but they source their LLM through Anthropic. And then Anthropic releases Claude Code and cranks up the billing to try and drown Cursor. No LLM product is distinguishable from any other in a way that prevents the model owners from taking the idea and launching it themselves. And the whole time everyone involved is losing money.

  • LLMs are fundamentally incapable of replacing jobs that do anything useful, but one of the main uses of an LLM is for an executive to posture that it will replace your job. And a lot of executives are fucking morons that genuinely believe LLMs can replace your job.

  • [Discussion] Do you have soulslike "fatigue"?

    Jump

  • The things that I like about souls games have very little to do with the "lose your shit when you die lmao" core mechanic and more with the exploration and variety. Love that Elden Ring is gargantuan and has a bajillion enemies and weapons. Dark Souls, same deal, dig the variety, dig the atmosphere.
