You can still lease GPU farm in many "easy" countries.

Alright, so now we can fit an entire LLM model into one character.

I upvoted it because I benefit from jemalloc in my stack (RoR) and I am tired of AI taking over HN front page. Let the hacker spirit be back!

Upvoted for the same reason. We would not be able to run our workloads without Jemalloc. Kudos to this awesome piece of software.

You are not alone - my first thought was 'oh, HN is trying to bring back the disappointed hackers'. All this AI hype over every little model update fart is so exhausting and boring …

The surface of potential issues is growing with complexity of all connected parts of the system. That applies to not only software. To prevent issues you either spend proportional amount (dollars, tokens, hours) on testing or reduce complexity of the system.

This. Listening and creative customer support rep, especially one who can even escalate fundamental product issues to company leadership is worth weight of gold.

Even if AI won't be self-aware and superintelligent agent, its problem is that it gives exponential control and power capabilities to one person bad actor who can simply prompt AI without any guardrails with access to sensitive industrial infrastructure which can disrupt lifes and ecosystems in the real world:

   - virus research labs
   - nuclear labs
   - chemical factories
   - bank records
   - land registers
   - power plants
   - water supply and treatment plants
and so on, but I think even biohacking home kit maybe the spark.


Yes, it's truly scary. It's not hard to imagine a small doomsday cult releasing 100+ nasty viruses at selected spots around the globe.


"patch everything" - there is no such way in the Universe unless you reduce "everything" complexity to just one electron. The higher the complexity the higher the surface of messing things.


My first thought: yet another web browsers standard.


Content marketing is dying because content slop is massively generated now.


You can stand out by being authentic. Your face on the video, etc. Even writing it yourself genuinely instead of using an LLM. ex the article felt authentic.


But how you get authentic and engaging for bank statement converter? People search for it to solve particular problem in the first place, not to hear your life story.

And regarding face on video, I just got stuned with video of 106 years old giving life advices and all people but one in comment section didn't notice it is well generated.

That's the hard part :)


I disagree, I think if you slop out your content it will be disregarded. It seems to be pretty easy to identify now with tools like Pangram.


No, the problem is too much (sloppy) content dilutes good conent. Searching for good content became impossible, so instead people go straight to AI to ask.


yes that's true
