  • They are that much cheaper yea

    Not to mention companies can also just self host open source models

    Everybody has been freaking out about the Copilot price increases and even Uber at blowing 3B on Claude in a few months but I work at one of the frontier model companies and internally it's been very chill. Just a 24 hour quota to prevent morons from token maxing thinking it'll save them from layoffs

    There's also tons of optimization that nobody has really touched at all yet since everybody is token maxing. An easy one is a harness that uses the biggest model to research code and come up with an implementation plan and then switch to a small flash model to implement the plan

    Lots of people actually already do that now manually just to increase velocity since the expectations are so high now with AI

    Congrats you are now the successor of Elliott Rodgers instead of a Henry Golding or Eileen Gu

  • NYT: Marx failed to consider the petit bourgeoisie

  • Maybe, but from my loose understanding of the workplace their class character doesn't seem very strongly working class. They move around and work pretty similarly to how an artisan would

    Their relationship seems a lot closer to "renting" out the equipment like how a craftsperson would rent their workshop/studio/storefront nowadays. But instead of paying money, doctors pay a tiny tiny autonomy charge to follow the hospital's structure of how things work

    If we're talking about specifically America, doctors have essentially positioned themselves as a cartel and are holding the general public hostage for their services and labor, and they collaborate with hospitals and clinics (the government, in this cartel analogy) to fleece us because the hospitals , insurance companies, and the government need doctors to survive and profit themselves

    Expert artists in the past being hired by the wealthy and given materials (expensive paints, sculpting materials, etc.) to complete their contracted work may be the closest profession to modern day doctors in terms of class relationships, except doctors are a necessity for the hospitals to make any money

  • I think a lot of doctors can still be thought as small time artisans. If they work for something like a hospital they're typically on contract rather than full time employees. It's just more efficient this way since doctors can shared pooled medical equipment and resources with this model

  • Parents of OpenAI whistleblower intensify dispute over suicide ruling: 'He would not harm himself'

    Jump

  • This may sound kinda insane but a lot of highly accomplished software engineers commit suicide because their career didn't go as well as planned. Many of them spent their entire lives striving for this specific goal and their entire self worth and identity is wrapped up in the social status of their career

    A few people jump off the buildings of places like Meta, Google, Microsoft every year during the work day, and sometimes they make it out to the news but oftentimes it's just swept under the rug. And every time they're always from some team that has a terrible work culture. Many times these coders would prefer to commit suicide than quit their jobs or risk the shame of being fired for underperformance and lose their purpose in life + have their self worth destroyed

    In this case it's possible he couldn't come to terms with the consequences of whistleblowing on OpenAI and losing his career

  • Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

  • It's an easy angle to win over the unaware general public by hitting points like climate and water usage

  • all the insane verification harnessing and imagined deterministic proofs overlaid on C++. It's the most awful unenjoyable way to code

    This is how all airplane code, civilian or military is done I believe. It's a good thing, the code should be mathematically sound and not silicon valley ship it asap style when mistakes can down a plane

  • it shouldn't have to be said but Iran wouldn't be risking so much to continue shipping oil to China if the chinese weren't doing something for them.

    I'm not sure about that, China is just by far the most reliable trading partner. Will never randomly cut you off for economic warfare, extremely stable and strong economy, high growth prospects, and willing to make tons of infrastructure and trade deals

    Even Russia is in a war right now and also energy self sufficient
