Márquez Vargas Ataquines 🇵🇪 @blastingpowder.bsky.social · 10/09/2026AI is also clearly a commodity. The vast majority of tasks that can be done with a specific model from the past year at a given level of compute spend can be done with any model with the same amount of compute. 000
Márquez Vargas Ataquines 🇵🇪 @blastingpowder.bsky.social · 10/09/2026AI has not improved more this year than last. A lot of what people are doing with it now could have been done last year, and much of the novelty comes from people getting more skilled at using it. New models are trained to do more tasks, but the quality of work hasn't improved much 000

Márquez Vargas Ataquines 🇵🇪 @blastingpowder.bsky.social · 23/11/2025The only argument of the "an invasion of Venezuela could never succeed" hardliners is that the rhetoric in the US is similar to the rhetoric in 2002.
