In my understanding, business is more about low-hanging fruits. Because they don't do fundamental science.

If there are no more low-hanging fruits, then the only way is the hard way: do proper, unprofitable science.

There a lot of still untouched path in AI that do not require burning billions $
"There is nothing else after generative AI. There are no other hypergrowth markets left in tech. SaaS companies are out of things to upsell. Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta do not have any other ways to continue showing growth"

If that's true, then it means it is time go to switch to science.

There is a good argument, that major part of ChatGPT popularity can be attributed to enshittification of google Search.

Google could improve on interpreting and processing search requests to provide you perfect result. Instead it became dramatically worse.

Reality Check
I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

I canceled ChatGPT subscription and switched to Anthropic API via command line tool github.com/simonw/llm developed by @simonwillison.net

After depositing $10 at 29 of March, I still have $7 left month later.

Compared to $20 monthly subscription I'm saving 85% !

The most disgusting thing in "Miyazakification" of web is that all Hayao Miyazaki works are about nature being corrupted by industrialization.

OpenAI just decided to give him a living hell in his 84th year of life, as a gratitude for his accomplishments in animation and industry.

Every week those 3 seconds make my day.

My favorite part of tech interview is when I tell how I would approach some problem they asked, but it is not what interviewer had in mind. Then they introduce new conditions for each my answer until I guess (or not) what they intended.

Tech people such as Grady Booch, François Chollet, Gergely Orosz or Yann LeCun support Ukraine or highlight that USA is becoming an enemy of the free world.

I respect them much more than Karpathy (former Tesla AI Lead) or Andrew Ng (praised JD Vance at Paris AI Summit) who hid their heads in sand.

Thank you!
I stand with Ukraine

Proud to live in a country (the Netherlands) that unconditionally supports Ukraine.

Europe needs to re-arm, to support Ukraine and defend itself and democracy.

Ukraine is the one defending Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine should be part of the EU.

EU and developed countries could take advantage of it.
Increase relevant budgets to hire those people.

They could basically acquire professionals nurtured via American money, for free.
Make no mistake. This is an all-out attack on health in America.

Not only is the EIS vital to controlling infectious disease; it was where a remarkably high fraction of our public health leaders received formative training and experience.

I'm getting headache from all the bullshit, that CEOs, investors and venture capitalists constantly spread.

It is clear as blue skies, USA is becoming tech-oligarchy (cyberpunk).

And they own all major social networks.

EU will have to ban twitter and TikTok (may be instagram/facebook as well) in order to defend their democracy from AfF and their kind, but that will inevitably lead to trade wars with USA

Americans seem to be more frightened by possible ban of TikTok, rather than by possible occupation of Greenland or Panama.

This is wrong. The reason behind black box structure of AI is because of The Bitter Lesson, not AGI dreams.
