Data science/machine learning in the Pacific Northwest. In Minneapolis through early 2025.
They stoked this fire and fed nonsense to a mob for decades, and, all along, believed it would never come for them.

The GOP is the most dangerous political machine in modern history. Likely the most dangerous party in any Western country since the Nazis.

Lol, yeah. They all think they are Martin Luther.

It‘s fascinating watching this company because Karp and Lonsdale are, quite literally and very obviously, mentally ill.

So we have a company run by two mentally ill freaks with a worldview that can be charitably called delusional. Recipe for success.

I wonder if we’re in for another attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of the worst Democratic president in US history next year?

He's right: the ML community, especially those at the top like Sutskever, are belatedly waking up to the issues around the LLM mania of the last few years.

We've made barely any progress since ChatGPT debuted, despite what fanboys, who mostly know nothing about ML, say.

This will cost us.

-10 pts. and 30 mins. in the corner with a dunce hat on for abusing the word “delta” in this way.

Nope. But I assume his sunny view of the world posits a future of robot slaves and LLMs doing all intellectual labor for us?

No one controls that man, he does whatever he wants.

It’s funny how American fascism was always going to be this exact flavor of glib fool, holding a bible he doesn’t read in one hand and blueprints for gas chambers in the other. That he’s accompanied by whatever you’d call that Stepford-brand animatronic robot is the cherry atop the sundae.

Looks like the time machine from Safety Not Guaranteed.

Yes, but I'll counter with "Poland is where it's at in Europe today."

It's pretty clear Warsaw is now what Berlin was, like, 10-15 years ago.

This sounds reasonable but you’re just vomiting up vibes. Remember, like 30 seconds ago the tech press was all “Google has fallen behind, will they catch up?” This “race” is obviously contrived.

And Google really doesn’t have money to waste here + where are the monetizable products???!!!

Not to mention that such a service could/will be one GCP can offer at low cost — so much of what’s happening is just not sustainable.

And that’s outside of the need for traditional search as LLMs are not databases or a true info retrieval technology.…
