Serious question: Why exactly is this impressive? They've raised over 100 million and hired scientists who know how to do this (and collaborated with Los Alamos), what exactly is the thing that is making this go viral.


It's not that impressive. IMHO. The thing they're demonstrating is that they have connections in the admin sufficient to get access to get stuff done. That can be valuable.


To the best of your ability. If you can avoid Israeli tech then do so, if you can't at least you try. Also opensource technology is different because you can verify and audit the tech


If you're asking yourself why hasn't the bubble burst when everyone is calling it a bubble it's because no one wants to stop dancing until the music stops. If you told an investor the market will collapse tomorrow with 100% certainty they will invest today like there is 0% certainty of it happening tomorrow.


I think most people see through these posts, and aren't impressed

Exactly, it’s like they’re targeting people who don’t really know much about ML but are easily wowed by fancy math jargon and nice drawings.


Which was my round about way of asking :)


Because it’s not research quality. The only people excited by this are people who don’t know anything about actual ML, and think this is amazing.


Why is it not research quality? What’s missing?


I don't doubt most code will be created by AI, but that actually doesn't translate to a huge boost in the daily life of an engineer. Also, codex and claude code aren't that complex of software products.


1. they aren't, they are just popular online. 2. the author has nothing to do with the original comment. Why do you think academic reviews are double blind?


One of the top 5 most active contributors to pytorch over the last few years, and specifically working on some of it's most hardcore components is "just popular online"?

If you say so.

> the author has nothing to do with the original comment

Except for the part of the comment that was assuming the author had no idea how this all works, has only used LLMs through API and has never run a local model, you mean?
