It's so refreshing to get the good old NASA, that is serious, measured, careful. Completes a complex mission flawlessly, speaks in the language of engineers and is an inspiration. Not the childish circus filled with nonsensical promises of a certain billionaire scammer.

A few lucky humans just circled on the far side of the Moon first time in some 50 years, you'd think there would be a word from the space Jesus who is all about making life multi-planetary? Nah better post some AI generated slop and BS.

In my mind Waymo's were always effectively trolleys following a "virtual cable". But the fact they got bricked in a power outage makes this analogy too real. And hilariously ironic. Also, while on topic, those who gloat about Tesla not having this problem are total clowns.

GPT-5 underwhelming launch seems to me like a "common knowledge" moment for AI. Now everyone knows everyone knows AGI is a pipe dream and ain't gonna happen with LLMs. The run for the exits is going to be a one for history books.

Much of the AI hype is hype. Most or all food delivery robots are driven by low cost remote workers. Waymo admits that every two miles or so there is a human intervention. Humanoids demos are tele-oped. Here is an AI powered coding app revealed. How many others? www.businesstoday.in/technology/n...

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

AI this, AI that, but note how all the new good ideas are still originated by humans? Even new ideas to "apply AI" new ideas to "train AI", new "AI company logos". It's all good old human intelligence and creativity at work. AI only regurgitates stuff seen on the Internet.

Full deepseek is <1TB download, so technically speaking you can fit a compressed version of the _entire_ Internet on one of these. In fact twice over. Let that sink in - compressed knowledge of the whole Internet on something the size of a fingernail and costing less than $200.

Filip Piekniewski @filippie509.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

The biggest surprise to AI bubble inflators (deepseek kinda has that vibe) is when the public decides that these LLMs are actually good enough for what they are, esp. if hosted cheaply and locally.And even if there is something asymptotically closer to "AGI" it ain't worth $200/m

If you deploy a chatbot on your website for customer support you take the responsibility for its actions. Or at least so the court says. And since LLMs _always_ can hallucinate, what could possibly go wrong? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Lh...

The fact that an objectively really good news for #AI, that you actually don't need a billion dollars to train a pretty good LLM has good chance of blowing up the AI bubble is some pretty massive dose of irony.

This is incredible. And highlights the core danger of using generative #AI for anything of relevance. It's not when you play with it that is dangerous. It's when you train yourself to rely on it and then accidentally use it for something important. www.youtube.com/watch?v=szQQ...

It's almost hard to believe that "Starship" is made by the same company that made Falcon 9. But it seems to be a broader pattern because it's equally as hard to believe that Cybertruck is made by the same company that made Model S. There is a really simple explanation though...

In general if anyone feels the need to keep assuring the public he knows how to accomplish some very ambitions goal (whatever it may be), you can be almost certain that person has no idea how to do it, but for whatever reason he needs the public to believe he can.
