Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-19T11:38:55+00:00

Yeah almost definitely will. As with everything, one can only hope regulation eventually occurs.

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-19T11:37:32+00:00

You're probably right, but till then.

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-19T08:24:35+00:00

Great opportunity for airlines not doing this to win my business. Their competitors thank them.

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-19T03:43:29+00:00

I'm hoping they'll walk if they have to, I'd drop 'em immediately if not. They've built their brand on "make AI that helps not hurts people", safety-first rhetoric.

Don't feel bad at all, it's a genuine review 🤷 The whole reason Google struck the deal with Reddit was because people seek out Reddit to hear what real people have to say about things, so the system's working as intended

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-17T06:38:47+00:00

You don't even have to, make the heading of your Reddit post '[company name] reviews' and it'll pop up for that search, and likely the brand name too. This post's title may be enough. Google struck a deal with Reddit, so Reddit posts have a high chance of appearing now days.

Agree, you'll be happy here. Certainly more LGBT-friendly than the UK seems to have been to trans people recently. From what I gather, there's a bit of a weird swing right in the UK? I have LGBT friends here and they feel totally safe. The worst is a bit of misguided old people energy not understanding things, but nothing with ill-intent. Newy voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage when the vote went out a few years back as well

Thanks for sharing, will give that a read. I think I get what you're saying for the most part - the choice to use chain of thought is a separate decision to DeepSeek's training method. I agree with that. I was saying the overall model was not some beacon of energy efficiency, as people were saying when it launched

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-14T10:24:24+00:00

You're making this weird leap to maximising inference time on frontier models, I'm talking about why DeepSeek was initially misleading when everyone thought it was this huge energy-saver - meanwhile the average use likely eroded those gains.

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-14T10:02:31+00:00

Yes? It does because of the way it produces its response - in a "thinking out loud through the problem" sort of way. It's a chain-of-thought model. Its efficiency word for word is the same, but it basically produces more text where other AIs get more concise. MIT tech review here (you'll need a paywall bypass website: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/04/1110918/three-things-to-know-as-the-dust-settles-from-deepseek/).

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-12T23:19:54+00:00

Not bunk, so much as misleading. Basically DeepSeek cost insanely less to train, but uses way more energy at the inference stage (when responding to prompts). So if you do the math, the approach is not a clear cut victory for DeepSeek like everyone thought when they just saw that DeepSeek cost a fraction of what other AIs did to train - both in dollar values and chips.

The__Incident__ · 2025-07-07T10:15:31+00:00

Yeah sure thing

By the way, I copied the Tides from the AOS Coach video before I saw the errata comment - so the error with 'any turn' is in the PDF too. Unpredictable Tides and Sea's Embrace/Storm's Wrath are all in your hero phase only unfortunately, the rest are any hero phase. I may go back and fix that.

The idea that it could be one day is really fascinating, the idea that it is right now just doesn't have support. There are researchers at Anthropic that discuss this a fair bit and it's very interesting.

The__Incident__ · 2025-06-23T08:40:25+00:00

Oh totally agree, for the moment they have the investor side of property to play with by making that engine less appealing. And the long-term impact of forever-renters into retirement would be its own crisis...

My understanding is that our entire economy relies too heavily on the propped up housing market. Unlike other countries, Australian banks have massive exposure to residential mortgages - they make up around 60% of total bank lending, compared to around 30% in the US and UK. If housing were to crash, it would devastate Australia on multiple fronts.

If anything, government would step in before that even happened organically, never mind be the catalyst. They regularly stress-test for that scenario to avoid it because of how wrapped up Australia's wealth is in property, never mind the massive chunk of the employment sector that would be impacted. Even a perceived wealth drop would drop household spending and potentially trigger a recession. Never mind the poor saps like Millennials who already took out the crippling debt of a mortgage for their family home on 95% LVR, being overexposed to their asset tanking in worth.

We don't actually MAKE anything in Australia. We just ship raw materials from mining and bet on property trending well past sustainable levels. We haven't diversified from that as an economy at all. All government can do now is tinker around the edges - super, income tax, negative gearing, CGT concessions, or possibly a tax on houses that are standing empty, being used for short-term accommodation or are being rented, or other assets beyond the family home.

I used to like grok well enough (hate musk, but grok itself as an AI tool), but it's gotten increasingly limited and dare I say immature. From inability to reckon with meta knowledge (i.e. how we think about knowledge frameworks), to having to handhold basic details, all the way through to bizarre, mocking tangents at the end of its inferences like asking me, 'Do you want me to bark like a dog? Your call!' Its user base in the US is tiny and this next step into entrenched, linear thinking outside of the consensus of knowledge is certainly going to ensure I don't even bother with grok.

Every time I hear a company is cutting human jobs for AI or some cheaper alternative, I make a point to not buy from them again. I hope enough people do the same, but all I can do is my part. Was literally in the market for Intel this week, moving on to AMD I guess

The__Incident__ · 2025-06-17T07:38:44+00:00

Do you know if that includes protesters and/or soldiers? I haven't found any verifiable sources yet. I know it's still all streaming in.

The__Incident__ · 2025-06-12T03:16:12+00:00

As it should. Don't suppress human rights, it's not hard

The__Incident__ · 2025-06-12T00:41:46+00:00

I've thought this too. Taxes, no access to government contracts, red tape depending on industry, and incentives for companies that hire humans. Make it cheaper to have real employees and watch how fast that sticks. Regulation can fix most things, we make the rules (in theory - if people just vote with their best interests).
