I did google it and came up with a bunch of bad answers. And I did get the expected response of "Don't."

The dollar had a very strong day, regaining quite a bit of its recent losses.

I meant more significant sums. I wanna be able to blank out their debts and get repaid in a structured manner.

Anyone know of a platform that's good for lending money to friends? Like a microlending type thing almost? I have been very blessed the past 3-4 years and made a lot of money and spent very, very little (aside from my monitor addiction) and I would like to help some friends pay off their...

So, speaking of EVE, is anyone hyped for EVE Vanguard?

That's too bad. This looks great aside from not being in space.

He completed being CEO for 55:32, in the any% completed category. Which is also a sly dig at the fact that he accomplished nothing during his speedrun aside from holding the company together long enough for the real CEO to come back.

This is amazing. Maybe the best tweet ever.

That's another movie I love.

Larry Summers on the new board of OpenAI, lol we're doomed.

No, lol, that's uncanny though.

lol rip (the good kind) imagine how much money this company could make if chip production wasn't completely fucking bottlenecked by it all being in Taiwan aka up China's ballsack.

How can you ruin something that was stupid from the start?

I've seen this movie and it was only okay. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/

We should have a mini-contest to see where people think the market will end up at end of year, if they want to update their opinions.

Orbital mechanics are really hard even for the very smartest people to think about.

This is interesting and also true, a rare combo these days.

Marc is serious about this. And the "forced to use Teams" memes just keep coming. Marc picking up even a few dozen team members would be huge for CRM.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/20/microsoft-ceo-nadella-says-openai-governance-needs-to-change-no-matter-where-altman-ends-up.html lol power moves from Satya. RIP all these idealistic geeks who thought they were building something for the benefit of mankind. Good chance OpenAI ends up basically...

"Never let a crisis go to waste." lol marc

Dollar coming down and lower bond yields should send US equities higher. The dollars got a long way to fall before it's even remotely a problem. Oil will creep up though, but we're pumping like crazy.

What I'm saying is that this maneuvering, no matter how lolworthy, isn't directly applicable to other corporate governance structures.

I doubt any of this is broadly applicable to other businesses, because OpenAI was never originally supposed to be a for-profit company. That makes it a pretty poor case-study, in terms of being able to generalize for other similar scenarios. And who the fuck knows, AI might solve business in a...

The ideas are all basically free already. It's all based on public research, largely seven years old. Most of the special sauce is at the application/presentation level, which is that last layer of filtering in the browser or app.

With bond yields retreating, the dollar is weakening slightly from its highs.

Yeah, teams of people making potentially world-altering technologies should absolutely be making these kinds of decisions on very little sleep. I really hope this shit just turns out to be really expensive autocomplete.

Haha, with a little help from Bing AI:

Anyone who originally signed on to a non-profit to build safe AI is also not going to be a good fit at MSFT. They're literally another EA cult, like FTX:

Fairly close to the truth. But MSFT's ability to pump out those chips is still limited by total foundry/fab capacity. We're going to be in a GPU-constrained world for a long time.

Sure, not sure their competitors want 2-year-old model weights at this point, but some might. The pruned training sets are probably valuable, but not billions of dollars valuable. for anyone that wants to read what the former Twitch CEO has to say about this. My outside read on all of this...

They already have the model weights for the models that have already been trained. They probably have the training sets too. There's very little other assets they might even want. The code that generates new foundational models from a training set is actually quite small, laughably small...

lol bitcoin maxis thinking the rest of the world cares about Argentina or BTC.

These are products, mainly built for inclusion in deployable enterprise applications. No one wants customer-facing chatbot that starts yelling "HITLER WAS RIGHT" in the middle of talking about returning the menorah grandma bought from Homegoods. It's not "woke", it's basic business...

Only in the minds of crazy people obsessed with anti-woke. They're mostly to make sure they're not used as cyberweapons. I already saw one demo last week that could automatically generate exploit payloads for over a decade's worth of legacy vulnerabilities that are often found on unpatched...

Also, Meta trying to bury this in the shuffle: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/18/facebook-parent-meta-breaks-up-its-responsible-ai-team.html So the people handing out open source models to the world has no AI safety team anymore. Cool. Humanity, going just great. OH SHIT, new news: Shit...
