I can’t wait for ChatGPT to control the autonomous weapons, screw it put it in charge of the nukes!

How much better is an LLM at mass surveillance? Obviously RAG with everyone’s details in it is useful but it’s also likely prone to hallucinations. I’m not sure LLMs are the right AI for even finding patterns in such data. As for letting LLMs autonomously kill people they clearly won’t be ready for that any time soon.

Does the administration really believe these AIs are like digital humans?


"not consistently candid in his communications"

I've now moved to Claude and it's much better actually, if like me you hate their fonts (Anthropic Sans) select System fonts in the Claude preferences and you can use this snippet in Safari's Settings -> Advanced -> Stylesheet to make everything your default system font:

[data-theme=claude] * { font-family: system-ui, sans-serif !important; }


They won't have a decent response, this is the Internet after all. I really enjoyed it thanks for writing it and I'll take a lot of it onboard. I think everyone will have their own software stack and AIs designed perfectly for them to do their work in the future.

I imagine this will be popular in other countries too. Such an incredible product for the price. Does anyone have benchmarks comparing the A18 to an M1 say?

A18 is ahead of M1 single core, slightly behind in multi core on Geekbench

you’re essentially getting an m1 macbook air with a worse keyboard

a quality used m1 air on ebay is about $400 w 256gb storage https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=m1+macbook+air&_trksid=...


I might get it or I might wait for m6 and redesigned body + oled

I use my machine daily for 5 years and the keyboard looks new, what are you doing to it? ;-)


I genuinely think everything would work far better without management, from what I’ve seen most managers make organisations need more managers…

I work at a tech-adjacent company with no middle management and no, it sucks even more. The work doesn't disappear, it simply gets divided and spread out over a lot more people, many of those with no real executive power. I don't even think this saves my employer any money in the long run.

Yeah. There's always such a lack of realpolitik in these discussions. They turn into endless bike shedding about what a manager is supposed to do according to some ideology of management, rather than the reality of the decisions managers are actually in control of and their actual tangible outputs.

The manager role is inevitable once scale reaches certain thresholds.

It is simply marketing nonsense - what they really mean (I think) is they support matrix multiplication (matmul) at the hardware level which given AI is mostly matrix multiplications you'll get much faster inference (and some increase in training too) on this new hardware. I'm looking forward to seeing how fast a local 96gb+ LLM is on the M5 Max with 128gb of RAM.

We've already established in this thread that memory bandwidth isn't that much greater than M4 Max - 12%? However, I wonder if batched inference will benefit greatly from the vastly improved compute. My guess is that parallel usage of the same model will be a couple times faster. So, single "threaded" use not that much better, but say you want to run a lot of batch jobs, it'd be way faster?

Is this a reply to a different comment?

I presume Tom and Jerry should also be banned for the horrifying violence they show children...

One of these is a cartoon the other is two people having sex on camera. Try to be a little more honest here

Better example then: I assume the TV series 24 will be banned for glorified depictions of torture and violence. Real actors portraying torture as an effective investigation method for high-stakes anti-terror investigations, despite being illegal both in the setting and in real life

Amazing that someone here understood what I was saying with perfect clarity, I was really struggling to believe that the parent did not understand.

So a cartoon depicting incest would be ok?

In your opinion, a totally realistic AI-generated porn should be treated more like "cartoon" or like "two people having sex on camera"?

[flagged]


You're being very disingenous.

Tom and Jerry depicts 2 beings assaulting each other which is bad.

Porn in this case depicts near incest also bad.

You could say tom and jerry is worse because that's aimed at kids, where as porn is aimed at adults who we tend to trust to tell fantasy from reality.

The comparison was then moved forward to ai porn.

That has no real people.

So is that bad?

It's a legitimate question. This isn't about reality, it's about depiction. Real people depicting a thing crosses the line. A cartoon depiction does not. Where does ai stand.

But as we all know, the line is one is violence where as one is sex, and you appear to think that it's worse to depict a normal consensual act than depict violence or murder.


Dude, you are the ONLY one here talking about children consuming porn, you depraved pervert!

What are you talking about? Nobody said that!
