But it’s actually not so difficult is it? The simplest way to make a slow pool is by having fewer GPUs and queuing requests for the non-premium users. Dead simple engineering.

No, the simplest way is `sleep(10)`.

> experts at reverse engineering and learning 'from context' rather than by formal consumption of foreign training material

China (as with other Asian cultures like India) is well known for their schooling involving extreme amounts of formal training material consumption. The reverse-engineering is performed with a solid foundation of theoretical understanding.


everytime someone tries to split the hair on how China is pulling ahead on most important metrics reads like coping of the nth degree

I think this line of questioning leads to what we expect from LLMs. Do we want them to help the user as much as possible, even to their own detriment in edge cases? Or to be more human, and potentially be unable to help for various reasons including safety, but also lack of understanding (as is the case now)?

Their example usecases are pretty obvious and clear human needs from an LLM. The semantics of system/user messages and how that affects “safety” doesn’t change the need to fix this crucial problem of “in-context learning” that we all have felt while using LLMs.

I read this blog a few years ago, and implemented it soon after with a refresh of my rc files and shortcuts. Gamechanger - has helped me every single day since. It’s easy to remember, autocompletes easily, and adds a little flair of personalization.

Unbelievable? It’s unfathomable - out of all existing AI companies, OpenAI is the least open of them all. They have stopped contributing any useful research into the public domain. Even infamous “villains” like Meta and China are doing leaps and bounds more compared to /Open/AI and the like.

While one can blame corporations, the most blame lands on the Indian government(s). Decades and decades of corrupt local, state, and central governance has led to dire poverty and high levels of unemployment. The current and past leaders have had no care to fix it, and it’s only getting worse. Their incompetence is what creates these kinds of jobs as alternatives to abject poverty and death.

You’re saying there were no forum boards nor comment sections anywhere? And everyone self hosted every single piece of content they wished to send it into the world?

Maybe y’all missed this?

Anthropic, specifically, ingested libraries of books by scanning and then disposing of them.


While probably facetious, those with power (who you aim to smear and replace) will save themselves and work together to fire you ASAP. This is not a winnable battle nor strategy for success, unfortunately.

This 100%. I once got disciplined for insubordination for skip-leveling my "manager" and disregarding their instructions when she started telling people on the team to work on something totally non-critical, when the team had a demo in a few days that wasn't ready yet, with a client that was already unhappy, on an 8 million dollar contract.

I didn't hang around that place long.


Did they know something you didn't know, about that demo/client? i.e. misaligned incentives?

The opposite, they were 12 hours timeshifted and out of the loop managing a side hustle while I was interacting with the client daily.
