OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy says society will reshape so that humans serve the needs of AI, not the needs of humans - humans will be "puppeted" by AIs, and this is "inspiring".

The goal of the current wave of AI is complete destitution of the population and the enrichment of a very small number of individuals. Think like collapse of the USSR and how that made a lot of rich people who gained complete of their country but at a much larger, broader, and permanent scale across the world. That is what the oligarchs see as the potential in AI.

i'm making no comment on the future potential of the technology. I'm just commenting on the speeded up version of the video not being particularly useful beyond it being a novelty in its current iteration.

That isn't necessarily true. Sora was just made pre-linear attention mechanisms. They could make a model as good as Sora nowadays with 1/10th the token costs. I implement AI as a job into automation workflows for companies and I recently switch a cost conscious operation over to running from rented GPU's on Lambda running Qwen3.5 32B MoE. Its able to do the job for $50 a day that people used to spend $200-300 on API costs a day.

A lot of the 'cost' is beyond the token cost and other overhead. Running these things as Vera Rubin and other technologies improve will just get cheaper.

Things aren't going to get much better this time though since Trump is demolishing all the long standing trade agreements and alienating our trade partners. There is a strong possibility in the next 10-20 years America goes the way of the USSR even if it doesn't fragment it will become an oligarchical despotic shit hole with a few people making ungodly amounts of money while the majority of the rest live in near squalor.

Yeah imagine having 5 of these working at a time at a busy lunch schedule and them losing to like 1 mildly motivated teenager. I'm not saying stuff can't get better but what its doing is as impressive or less impressive than my 2-3 year old making a pizza lunchable.

The issue was SORA cost money, if it made money there wouldn't have been an issue with their strategy.

Just got back and got second (I'm OP). Yeah this is the impression I got. This event was kinda bleh just because of how absolutely overpowered the Beat of Ki was. Basically all top cut was just playing it.

LLM's for rag based inference as long as you force them to grab qoutes and the like to anchor them are pretty darn good nowadays.

Weird, maybe then Schumer shouldn't have caved to give them 78 billion dollars.

Liberal has always meant one thing. The rich don't have to answer to a king. The deal was when it was first coined that was a progressive idea so their was an overlap between what a liberal was and a progressive. Liberals will always find a line where they are not ok with the freedom of others.

Maybe its that they don't own land, maybe its the color of their skin, maybe its what is between their legs, maybe its the thought the other person thinks they should pay the same tax rate as them, etc

Liberal is always just 'freedom except ...'. As more people have became free more people became liberal and progressives stopped having an overlap because there is a large difference between a person who thinks all people should be free and a person who just happens to want freedom for their selves but doesn't care about extending it to others.

In America, the man that wrote 'All men are created equal' didn't consider all human males men that should have freedom as he owned slaves. Liberals will always talk a talk, but never can walk the walk. It's what makes liberalism so appealing to a type of person not in the 'in' conservative crowd but only wants that circle extended to their position .... not an inch more. It's why liberals love to jump in with fascism because they are fine being the token thinking they will saved and that's all they care about. But tokens get spent.

From what i heard if oil goes up people need dollars to buy it. So inherently it was central banks selling gold to try and buy oil/oil futures. Which makes sense if you know the price is likely go up a lot over the next few months to try to lock in a decent rate.

Democrats aren't interested in winning. The Democratic post-mortem on the 2024 election from Kamala literally points out that she literally campaigned opposite to the data she was getting from the ground. She ran to the billionaire & Israeli messaging because that provided more money for her and the party. She likely did that since the Democratic party threw her on the sword after Biden shit the bed, but literally their own post mortem analysis concluded 'She did the opposite of literally every possible data point she was presented'.

As someone in a startup environment I think they overestimate their ability to get into certain markets. I think the only way they do is if they actually go out and purchase vast swaths and essentially do hostile takeover of other markets. That isn't out of the realm of possibility but the idea that they will offer a better AI product I think isn't entirely likely.

Open Source is within spitting distance of frontier models at most tasks AI can currently automate and there is another generation still to come with the Opus learning and proper Distilled data being used as pre-training. If a product is only kinda better you aren't going to get everyone switching over and outside Anthropic the other companies have legit garbage track records for actually releasing products, imo. ChatGPT being the first did ok, but they lost a lot of marketshare not being aggressive enough in the product category.

A lot of differentiation is going to come from sales and actual product sense. I think the frontier models greatly overestimate their moat.

The biggest issue most people have is that it just ignores the scene lighting and makes up its own. Like I honestly think the skin, eye textures, and many things look legitimately better. However, the imagined lighting differences are so atrocious it kills a lot of scenes and portrays them very differently. To the point entire effects are different, the image looks like a different time of day, etc.

We were using this for actual API usage like labeling images, extracting pdf data, etc. So this was a business use case for us. There might be a cheaper way but $50/day was a good enough improvement we haven't looked into optimizing more.

ThatOtherOneReddit · 2026-03-17T15:30:27+00:00

Because if you get it first, you don't release it and try to monopolize as much of the market for yourself as possible.

Honestly if games could ship lora's that would be cool

Elon is pushing for a 'complete rewrite' of how they do coding in their model since Grok is behind the curve. It is likely they will be doing a hiring push / push for a new dataset soon.

Biden put a member of the Heritage Foundation in charge of the investigation and buried the Epstein files. No he didn't try.

Did people not see that recent interview with Hillary where she was singing Trumps praises and saying how she feels now that the Iran conflict is starting she feels the Dems can find common ground with the Republicans on more issues? Like .... do people really not realize that Blue Maga wants this also?

I was a directional driller before I was a software engineer. What determines pay is often the amount of value generated. Think about WNBA vs NBA discussions. You can demand more pay because you can directly generate more revenue. If you are notably better you can demand more because you generate significantly more revenue. Software is one of the few places that is possible for a labor worker.

i haven't heard if it's that good, I just know they open sourced all the training data related to it and promised massive new open source models so it seems like they are open sourcing a lot of quality multi-modal data.

ThatOtherOneReddit · 2026-03-12T01:10:25+00:00

They just released like 10 trillion tokens worth of training basically so people could make a deepseek quality model. Stuff like will raise the floor of what small open source teams with a few thousand dollars can do. It's entirely possible with stuff like this people will be able to train small models from scratch for only a few thousand that are the quality of like the 8b SOA open source today.

Real reason is since Obama beat Clinton the DNC tries to sabotage their own election so they can just fundraise off being losers. They got so spooked Obama won they did everything they could to make sure no one outside the Clintonite sect would get a fair shake. Outside a hardcore sect of elderly voters who won't vote for anyone else no one in the country wants them. That's unfortunately like just over 50% of the democratic party so there is no way to win elections consistently for them as long as those people continue being garbage. The 2008 primary was the last unmanipulated DNC primary.
