It’s actually good and proper to dogpile on people when there’s literally lives at stake.

Pi, whose "security brain" AI agent helps companies assess vulnerabilities to prioritize and patch, raised $35M at a $100M valuation; sources: xAI is a customer (Thomas Brewster/Forbes)

Elon Musk’s Go-To Hacker Launches A $100 Million AI Cyber Agent
Startup Pi counts xAI as one of its first customers, as its AI agent looks to fix security vulnerabilities for the world’s premier labs.

Ah this is the where that evil company who wants to do space mirrors to reflect sunlight back to Earth got their idea from

This would include fascinating topics like “fully read a social media post before replying” and “question the ultimate agendas of media outlets, corporate public relations departments and of governments”.

Essentially the last 15 years were spent on adding oodles of code to make thin clients into thick clients for absolutely no reason and now it’s “whoopies”
are you fucking kidding me

And even for the most optimal of use cases, code generation, which gives an LLM every possible advantage (huge amounts of self-similar training data with millions of iterations of the same problems and solutions, strictly deterministic symbol sequences in highly simplified languages), LLMs are starting to approach local maxima; they’re even regressing when context windows get too large (so more capable hardware doesn’t help).
I still strongly believe that they’re useless for 99% of tasks they’re marketed for and for the rest (like coding) there will be locally run solutions that are affordable.

It's not a bad representation of what my migraines look like though

I would like to remind people that two things can also be bad at the same time, for example EU law being overly broad and restrictive and a large company being a dick.
Totally possible 😂
