The amazing thing is a lot of this has been available from midjourney at this level for awhile, but the ChatGPT ability to distribute is making everyone rediscover image-gen again.

I heard Bluesky hates AI. Is that true?

Idea: train an LLM on music theory and have it make music from first principles, using test time compute/inference to try things and test them out, maybe using RLHF at first to improve the model and iterate.

Anyone doing this? Would not only get around copyright, but might be more efficient.

I remember when TSA did an experiment bringing out 3 lines, one for frequent travelers, one for families, and one for newbs.

We need a new one called "here is the line for instagram narcissists" staffed by the meanest, slowest person who got fired by the DMV for poor customer service.
Just found out about the aesthetic airport security tray pic trend and I'm ready to end it all

You're not getting denied jobs because you're white. You're getting denied jobs because nobody wants to work with assholes. Have you ever met a racist who wasn't also a massive asshole?

RTO has 2 primary backers:

- CRE who are taking massive losses on office buildings
- Execs who are big mad that the midlevel engineer that has better hair whose spouse is a professional decorator has a nicer office and ergo seems more important in zoom meetings

Anyone here using AI to reason through your company reorg? Having a lot of luck doing this for GPU jobs and clusters (i.e. which job should go in which cluster), seems applicable to that domain as well

Seeing an explosion of, for lack of a better term, "langchain wrappers" that are claiming to make AI safe for the enterprise.

Maybe some are good, but some of these are borderline fraudulent moneygrabs that are more of a sales/marketing operation than a technical one.

Reading X is like talking with an LLM trained on the kind of people who you'd meet at the worst kind of HOA meetings.

Vain, mendacious, and not particularly insightful. You can literally predict the responses. Like a biological LLM trained on rhetorical poison.

Yes, I want something like Neuralink, connected to a system of LLMs, so I can just think "remind me of what X means" and have a nice voice in the back of my head give me the answer.

Ideally with an off switch for times I def don't need that voice in my head.

More interesting ideas, less rageposting.

I hope this place never introduces an ad-share program. Creates the incentive to rage-post for engagement. Which results in some of the most insane nonsense being on the feed.

X these days feels like what you get if you trained an LLM entirely on Fox News

Has anyone here made a good starter pack for Ai blewski?

In this house:

Seed oils are fine
Raw milk is nasty, but drink it if that’s your thing?
2 + 2 = 4
Ketchup on a hotdog means you have terrible tastes in condiments

Bluesky making x irrelevant is nice. But needs to think bigger. Can it also make LinkedIn irrelevant? That would be the win!

Who are the AI people on here I can follow?
