Hah, I think about this all the time. I think we subtly desire LLMs to be more and more deterministic and efficient. This is why one of the main uses of LLMs is building tools to make their job easier.
I made my own project, with one of the goals being discounting tokens, but found that the real goal was just ensuring quality and making things more programmatic.
Basically ends up being agents.md in a schema driven yaml file. Thinking about extending it to also generate or replace skill.md.
I think the proliferation of markdown is cool, and lowers the barrier for entry, but it’s also very unpredictable and loose. I think over time we will drive these to be more like config files instead of free text.
it's crazy, I have seen so many projects popping up just focusing on reducing token usage. At least caveman speak is funny!
Have to say that since we switched to our own model in a rented GPU, we stopped worrying about tokens and just use the hell out of our AI as much as we want :)
I think part of the motivation for the big spend by the big players is to choke out Anthropic and OpenAI. They're going to make sure they're they only ones scaling up the huge capacity they expect is needed. To meet demand, Anthropic is just going to need to pay the cloud bill to somebody, which will really hamstring their ability to profit.
Yes for sure, even if we stopped today the amount of almost free software that can be produced with current models will improve the world by a lot as the knowledge of how to use it propagates over more people.
The problem with this argument is that it shouldn’t take years for these developments to come about anymore. The world is incredibly interconnected via the web - it also explains ChatGPT’s explosive growth. To claim people aren’t trying would be comical - where there’s an opportunity to generate economic profits competition for it will be intense.
The best we have external to model producers is cursor and openclaw lmao. The gap between hype and reality is disgustingly large.
I don't think you're correct. Just think of things like using any computer system in your business, like a spreadsheet to keep track of inventory. From the moment software for spreadsheets became available to most businesses using them, how many years went by? I knew businesses that should have computerized processes that didn't in like 2010. So if you just apply this knowledge that even basic good things take a long time to truly spread and permeate, even if the tech stopped advancing today, the current benefits will take years to fully materialize.
There's many "little software tools for X" that now any business owner with a few hours can create. I know many people improving their small businesses for free like this and helped a few friends making their lives easier with "small software" assisted by AI. People that would never afford 20 SaaS products for this and that, and would never go through the hassle of hiring someone to do it custom. And they will be able to do this even if the bubble pops and all the labs go bankrupt by just setting up a little gpu with a local model.
I dunno about hype, I just know I have several friends running self made custom software "in production" for small things and almost no help for their classic "offline" businesses.
A few months of some narrow strait of water in the other side of the world being closed off and New Zealand is about to collapse. And these billionaires think they can just sit back and relax in their bunkers here in an apocalypse scenario?
> Mixing various side agendas is greatly detrimental to understanding and countering political nationalism, in fact, it helps its proponents.
Look whose mixing side agendas lol. Fascism (Autocracy w/ low freedoms) and Nationalism (Pride in a nation) are separate concepts.
Pretending that there aren't legitimate reasons to something is more detrimental than acknowledging any exists. Unless of course, you're a fascist in which case what you say goes and so you don't have to debate!
Just look at the top 2 most powerful men in the United States right now and how much their wives love them. Or are you going to say something about love being overrated and unnecessary in a marriage?
Trump's had 3 wives; I'd say that he's popular with the ladies. Plus every time he runs he does better with them [1], he might even get to 50-50 in 2028.
Unclear who you mean by 2nd most powerful man. Musk successfully convinced like a couple dozen woman to carry his kids but he's also unable to get his own agenda implemented so probably not even top 100 most powerful.
That said, Popular and Love are definitely not the same thing ... TSwift is popular with the ladies but uh few woman going to divorce their husbands to marry her.
I am not well versed enough in Chinese culture and society nor in economics to make meaningful commentary on this. But as a fellow worker, this looks good?
