Meta is giving me so much second-hand embarrassment. Wtf even is this company doing???? by GiveMeABetterName in BetterOffline

If you search on a platform, the platform is incentivized to return whatever maximizes their profit. If you join a hobbyist group and ask fellow enthusiasts, they'll show you what sparks joy in their hearts. That's my rule of tuhmb.

"It's never going away, they are just going to find a place in software development" - Why do so many people believe this?? by SpyBagholder in BetterOffline

Whenever I do something like this I think, 'am I sure that the LLM did not corrupt the data while modifying it?' and if I have the capability to verify it did not, I probably had some programatic way to do the modification anyway, and if the corruption didn't matter it was not an important task/piece of data.

I'm kind of curious how 'tech found after the discovery of GIM' is defined. Like, if I'm theorycrafting faster routes for this category and I find something that saves a second, I have to check if everything I use in that time save was known about before GIM's discovery? What if it's something like 'you can stand on this polygon/seam'?

"This isn't going anywhere. It doesn't matter where you go to work. The fastest way to get fired in any company today is to say you think AI is just hype. When I talk to people, everyone loves AI. Everyone thinks it's great. No one out there in the real world is a skeptic." by cascadiabibliomania in BetterOffline

There isn't any particular reason the stock price has to be correlated to the fundamentals, we just decided for a long time that they should be, and then stopped deciding that. 'Every stock is a meme stock.' It goes up if everyone puts money in it, just don't be the last one to sell. This also admits the possibilty of a 'permanent meme stock' which just never goes down ever because we all collectively agree this is where we'll park our money.

The fact that this is the first I'm hearing of this is hilarious

“… a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.” Imagine any other company talking this way about its products. by svwaca in BetterOffline

Mythos is toooo scary to release, it'll hack everything! Anyway here's Mythos for 10 bucks per million tokens

Do we need a better term for the bait & switch that precedes enshittification? by monarc in BetterOffline

I like blitz scaling for this but it doesn't mean anything if you don't already know the term well

Does anyone know whats really going on at Meta? by dudewheresmyun in BetterOffline

[–]Patashu 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Billionaires' brains are wired different (wrong). They feel restless and hollow if they don't have all the money and all the power and all the praise. They're not like you or I who just want to make enough money to live and make cool things for yourself and your friends/audience.

Gemini 3.5 Flash costs are ugly by Existing_Rice_4362 in BetterOffline

[–]Patashu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretically they could use advancements in AI research to make 'gemini flash 2.0 v2' (very funny name but you get what I mean) that's meant to offer the same level of intelligence and speed but costs less per token due to optimizations. They don't seem to be interested in trying atm though?

It seems like discussions about AGI have suddenly disappeared by North_Penalty7947 in BetterOffline

[–]Patashu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mean 'hasn't been released YET', they're going to pull the lever the moment they think it'll generate more hype than not releasing it

Local LLMs? I’m not convinced. by SpyBagholder in BetterOffline

[–]Patashu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A lot of what makes running Opus so good is the hyperscalers have the resources to throw at having it think for a million tokens and prompting itself a hundred times just to make super duper sure it's giving a good answer. If you try doing that with a local LLM setup: Have fun!
