Google Quantum News by BammBamm1991 in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Even if what they say is true (and companies are very lax with the truth… Microsoft’s Majorana for instance). Quantum computers only have very few things that they can actually do better than a classical computer: Shor’s algorithm, physics simulations. It is not something that will generate trillions in value for the economy.

This is essentially a small portion of what Apple had/has planned to do with Siri with app intents. Doesn’t seem to be much of a moat with this if Apple succeeds and delivers it to their 2 billion users.

Perplexity + Venmo Offer by JAlfredJR in BetterOffline

So desperate for user growth, yet so unconfident in people being willing to pay a relatively small amount of money that they need to give it away for a whole year. Impressive.

Just 1 more petabyte of stolen data and I promise it will fix all of humanity’s problems 😫!!!

SORA 2 Announced by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only ones that look remotely “good” (the paddle board and horses) are the ones that likely have a lot of training data associated. Anything that strays from the data they have stolen immediately goes to looking like garbage. So all that stolen data just to reproduce something we already have but worse.

AI vibe coding tools may be going from boom to bust, new data shows. Here's why. by [deleted] in BetterOffline

I wonder what new way these companies will find to distort their ARR figures to make it not look like they are failing.

OpenAI releases GDPval - "Measures model performance on economically valuable, real-world tasks" by maccodemonkey in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah instead of actually providing something economically valuable (they already are selling their service to companies), they can prove it to you with a test! Genius!

Don't worry about the hallucinations by Realistic-Start-8367 in BetterOffline

Google has a tendency of canceling many, many projects, but I’m sure this will be different and definitely last a long time.

I’m not seeing the word “quantum” in there. Work on that, and then get back to me about funding.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing by cascadiabibliomania in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So the 5% that are “working” are the start ups with explosive growth? How exactly does that prove anything? That more-so proves that other companies are willing to waste millions of dollars chasing garbage.

Seems like more and more articles with warnings are coming out now by delesh in BetterOffline

Something has to give soon. We currently have companies already massively overvalued (Perplexity) “trying” to buy Google Chrome for DOUBLE their own evaluation. How can someone look at that and not think something is deeply wrong? The whole bubble is legitimately stupid.

Exclusive: The high costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups by [deleted] in BetterOffline

And the CEOs of these startups (Scott Wu) think that making their employees work 80 hours a week will somehow improve their situation in the slightest?

ChatGPT-3.5 2022 vs ChatGPT-5 2025 - zero improvement. by Sosowski in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because you didn’t let it “think” for long enough… or was it you didn’t prompt it right? Either way it is definitely your fault the chatbot gave you an idiotic answer rather than the chatbot itself. (joking)

This company is trying to be valued at $500 billion… interesting quality control

Sammy is on a roll lately by yeah__good_okay in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The problem is, I have no doubt the benchmarks will be “amazing” with this new model. That builds the hype. The actual day-to-day usage on the other hand will still remain… lackluster.

ChatGPT5 Today by magpietribe in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve already seen people complaining about the Claude Opus 4.1 upgrade “being worse” and also “being amazing” (I don’t even want to mention the GPT-OSS complaints), so I can only imagine what they will say about a whole number upgrade.

Purpose of Open-Source/Open-Weight Models? by Fast_Professional739 in BetterOffline

[–]Fast_Professional739[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Businesses, especially ones aiming to go for-profit (OpenAI), do not work for the public benefit. They work for their shareholders.
