  1. The ASCII art cats are great. I wonder whether a canonical purrtran compiler would emit those upon request?
  2. It’s the speed of a passenger flight, but I wouldn’t want to spend 57 hours aboard.
  3. Wonderfully crazy. Should the rats have multiple weapons at their disposal, which do they prefer? How many demons escape their fate? Are there videos of gaming sessions? So many questions!
  4. “No animals were harmed in the making of this blog”.
  5. Can’t be proved or disproved either way.
  6. Too optimistic, “AI” minions will insist that a high parameter count is a soul.
  7. > Meanwhile the White House calls it all "fake news".

    The truth is a lie and only government lies are the truth. Orwell would be so proud.

  8. Once the slippery slope to despotism has been entered, stopping it will get ever harder.
  9. Not if you realize the denomination of the value is Dollars.
  10. This is great news! Congrats for this fantastic progress.
  11. They are just reselling OpenAI subscriptions at a markup. Surprise!
  12. Nothing revives people’s forgotten believe in magic quite like “AI”.
  13. Those “AI koolaid drinkers” are a very vocal faction, not only on HN. Too many software companies are cramming “AI” wherever they can, users be damned.
  14. Isn’t every international airport also a border?
  15. > … agency whose job is supposed to be patrolling the border.

    They are patrolling the border. The border between desired and undesired citizens.

    Nobody lifted a finger when “the privacy violations are only used against the bad guys”. Now it looks like it’s your turn to be declared the bad guy.

  16. Of course MS would prove intransigent. They always knew better than their users, that’s nothing new.
  17. An interesting article. And the HPC footnote puts some perspective on today’s fad: “AI”. The specialized hardware of today will be close-to-commodity tomorrow and today’s data monsters will be nothing but energy-wasting curiosities tomorrow. Maybe some will be preserved in a museum.
  18. By definition, when a kid believes an “AI” is their friend, they don’t know it’s fictional.
  19. When you’re rich, you can even buy vanity CEO roles.
