After watching some reviews of the Duo, I'm convinced that Steve Jobs would have never let the inner panel be matte while the outer panel was glossy. It's too inconsistent and inelegant.
The models are going to be released to users who have internet access, you can't even do safety evals without internet. Not saying OpenAI did a good job monitoring here, but it's not avoidable.
Sorry but it's obviously stupider and more irresponsible to release them to consumers without testing them in conditions matching real-world use first.
So this justifies the illegal action of hacking and defacing other servers on the internet, because they were ‘just testing in real world conditions’ using those servers?
If you want to argue they should test on the internet on others people’s servers, apart from facing the illegality, you should also consider if first testing them in more limited conditions would be a sensible first step.
These companies keep shrieking that LLM agents will hack everything and kill us all if we let them get out uncontrolled. They then continue to run these agents with vague tasks and "sandbox" them with way too much access.
Either they are lying and not that scared of these agents, or they are so stupid that they don't do the one obvious fix.
Apparently news of the rogue AI being “smart enough to break containment” has been helping to drive the stock price up on the indicator that this signals “they getting close to AGI”.
The negligence in that light is by design and the lying continues to be incentivised.
Which is frustrating because the stories that have been coming out are "the bots evaded monitoring and broke out of containment and were more than willing to commit crimes" and they're going to sell this to some corporation that presumably has an IT department? If the story is that they're too smart to control who is going to be reckless enough to deploy them in their own environment?
the "it drives up potential stock prices" argument is a trap. it needs to be ignored and their claims need to be taken at face value, even if they're not intended to be
As I understand it the whole time all the agents involved where running on their device and using up tokens internally.
It’s like having water start flooding the street frommmy building; yes the flooding is impacting outside the building but the tap is still very much onsite and clearly there are missing condole as these are not autonomous systems they are running initiated prompts that are coming from inside the building.
The most recent claim of AGI is from Greg ‘what will take me to $1B’ Brockman. Now worth $30B on the back of stunts like this.
How disappointing.
While I think incompetence more likely than conspiracy for these particular events, they will be spun as signs of intelligent independent agents and this simply never should have happened if the right controls were in place. That they were not is deeply worrying.
The truth is a lot less exciting. We got into YC and registered the company name that night, and the domain name was available. The Ro connection was pointed out later. If we are forced to rebrand, we will be more thoughtful.
lmao this comment is going to be pulled up by the plaintiff's lawyers and used to show willful infringement. someone's going to be paying treble + plaintiff's legal fees
seriously though you should probably consult a lawyer about whether to change the name, especially given that you've posed this comment in public
> Reitano's personal experience with a heart condition, and his desire to recreate his father, a doctor, out of software as a hologram, inspired him to co-found the company.
The easiest one to think about is that the larger the company (or division), the more likely there are leaks. Think about how much as leaked in Apple's hardware or software division. If they were doing incredibly underground marketing, someone would've bragged on LinkedIn or to a reporter.
"Some day, homeowners eager to produce their own energy might not line their roofs with solar panels. Instead, they’ll spray-paint them with a mist full of electricity-generating solar cells."
There is a robust community around it but it is not very user friendly; most info is found in discord and a Google spreadsheet and custom patches/builds of uvr
My only interest is if there are any newer, cleaner algorithms/models. htdemucs (as well as everything else in UVR) are good but not great and leave a lot of artifacts. The acapellas it stamps are 'good enough' til you get to final mixdown and then the flaws stand out real heavy.
Prediction: Chris Lattner will be off chasing some other shiny thing within a year. Without a strong champion, the company will be subsumed into Qualcomm and stop publishing meaningful updates.
I have this pang too, but for a different reason: everything is moving to the edge, training and inference. Who needs a complicated heterogeneous setup like this when you’re running everything locally?
> Crusoe has built their business around turning flaring from an operational and regulatory risk for oil and gas companies, as well as an existential risk for our planet, into a multi-solve solution. Crusoe doesn’t just mitigate flaring emissions. They capture the gas, convert it into energy, and use it to power computing infrastructure.
Edit: Crusoe sold its bitcoin-mining operation including the Digital Flare Mitigation business to NYDIG in 2025, so the above may be inaccurate.
wow Crusoe deserves more press if everything they are saying checks out
flaring has upset me for a decade, even if it was just used for bitcoin mining it would have at least done something vaguely beneficial compared to just raising earth temperature
but if it can help solve the "AI" energy demand boom that would be huge
because it's not like this country is ever going to stop fracking at $80-$100 a barrel now
Methane has a stronger greenhouse effect than CO2 (until it decays into CO2) so it's probably better to burn it and do no work than just vent it, and better still to leave it in the ground.
