Ah yes the oil that you saved by not doing these got spent by the uber rich going to davos in private jets. Hell in fact even if a million of you saved it still would pale the damage done by private jets.
There was a genocide committed against Bangladeshi Hindus by Pakistan and another being done right now by Bangladeshi govt in power now.
A genocide is being committed in Nigeria by boko haram. Another in Sudanese war committed and funded by uae and other Arab nations.
But let me guess, the only genocide worth committing your verbiage is the one where a certain people belonging to the favorite religion is facing issues after voting in a terrorist organization by the name of Hamas which went in and attacked a community which was persecuted and butchered for close to 2500 years. All provoked by a religious ideology and Arab theocratic pan nationalism.
The problem with this argument is that there are players who are incentivized to play on the opposite side of the PE memory hoarders or cloud everything people.
One of the most valuable company namely Apple have been playing around with local everything for a while now.
Housing is a regulation(mostly) problem and govt has 0 incentives against the lobbyists and nimby crowd who support reelection bid vs largely marginalized or non voter crowd of immigrants.
It’s false equivalence in its full glory.
Of course not. But one well-known characteristic of markets is that imbalances tend to, over-time, self correct. No it’s not perfect, and no, it doesn’t happen instantly. But the idea that GPU prices rising is the end of the world is just silly. If it’s a long-standing trend, people will build more GPU factories and people who own gpus will go broke. Or maybe it’s not a long-standing trend, and the AI companies go broke first. Either way GPUs get cheap again. But not tomorrow, not next week, so lots of time for click bait articles about how it’s a sign of end times.
> one well-known characteristic of markets is that imbalances tend to, over-time, self correct.
That's not true for all markets, least of all for "free" markets which not only "tend" to become monopolized, they do end up as Robber Baron lands on steroids.
If you were right, there would be no need for anti-monopoly regulation or even for any market regulation, and I wouldn't have to repeat twice that a market is just a set of regulations.
> But the idea that GPU prices rising is the end of the world is just silly.
Nobody claimed that but it can't be disproved either :) On the other hand, you seem to think we should be concerned only with problems that provably lead to the end of the world. I'm not sure how wise that is.
> Or maybe it’s not a long-standing trend
Or maybe it is? Should we close our eyes and rely on chance or just use the opportunity to fix what clearly is a systemic problem in the fundamentals of the US market and economy - it's quite clear that the problem isn't limited to just RAM and GPUs.
> you seem to think we should be concerned only with problems that provably lead to the end of the world
I am deeply sceptical of trying to use large public institutions and government to solve the “problem” of a price rising and falling from time to time as supply and demand change.
If you don’t believe in supply and demand or markets or you think that economics is some big scam, then we could save some time if you just say that, and then we don’t have to go back-and-forth pretending the issue is about AI or GPUs.
If there is a monopoly case to be made in GPU manufacturing or whatever, then make the case and let’s regulate that monopoly or break it up.
If there’s financial fraud going on, great make the case and let’s deal with it.
If all that’s happening is that some people are making speculative bets on prices a few years out, and they’ll either be right or wrong and either way it will be over, then I just have trouble getting worked up about it. If it means the gaming PC you have planned to build this year will either be a bit more expensive or you’ll have to put it off till the next year, I have trouble getting worked up about it.
It depends on how many people he was in charge of. If he’s CTO of 500 people company where only 40 are engineers, you’re not getting past senior manager at faang.
What will you use the ai in the phone to do for you? I can understand tablets and smart glasses being able to leverage smol AI much better than a phone which is reliant on apps for most of the work.
I desperately want to be able to real-time dictate actions to take on my phone.
Stuff like:
"Open Chrome, new tab, search for xyz, scroll down, third result, copy the second paragraph, open whatsapp, hit back button, open group chat with friends, paste what we copied and send, send a follow-up laughing tears emoji, go back to chrome and close out that tab"
All while being able to just quickly glance at my phone. There is already a tool like this, but I want the parsing/understanding of an LLM and super fast response times.
This new model is absurdly quick on my phone and for launch day, wonder if it's additional capacity/lower demand or if this is what we can expect going forward.
On a related note, why would you want to break down your tasks to that level surely it should be smart enough to do some of that without you asking and you can just state your end goal.
This has been my dream for voice control of PC for ages now. No wake word, no button press, no beeping or nagging, just fluently describe what you want to happen and it does.
without a wake word, it would have to listen and process all parsed audio. you really want everything captured near the device/mic to be sent to external servers?
Because typing on mobile is slow, app switching is slow, text selection and copy-paste are torture. Pretty much the only interaction of the ones OP listed is scrolling.
Plus, if the above worked, the higher level interactions could trivially work too. "Go to event details", "add that to my calendar".
FWIW, I'm starting to embrace using Gemini as general-purpose UI for some scenarios just because it's faster. Most common one, "<paste whatever> add to my calendar please."
