Glad you remember the ultimate folly of the metaverse; he’s such a tool.

It's the AI researcher's Lebron moment. Enjoy it while it lasts. This screams "bubble."

I think we know what makes insane monies possible — modern monetary theory and financial repression at its finest.

How many engineers does it take to fix Llama? Why is it so broken. It was the cat's pajamas a year ago. Is it that maybe it could come after its own dubious business of value with fakish trust based on fakish metrics of success? Maybe that's why they turnt him down. 100 million dollars to do brown field work fixing a slowly leaky business where the CTAs are onlyfans and the iceberg part is trending towards more copycat behavior. Why doesn't he fix his Northstar metrics?

Thank Alberto. I love your take on this topic. One thing which baffles me is that people with not much clarity still make it pretty far in this world.

Wondering what Yann LeCunn thinks about all this bullshit.

But it's not a choice between laptops for Detroit schoolkids and AI researchers getting paid - it's Meta keeping the money or the highly skilled labour taking it. I'm prefer the latter thanks

Zuck's no saint, but he's not as slimy as Sam. If anything, Zuck's reputation is that he's too robotic.

Sam is a phenomenal liar/manipulator who has made OpenAI the opposite of its name (should be called ClosedAI), been abandoned by his cofounders to direct competitors of OpenAI (talk about a falling out), and voted out by OpenAI's board (who Sam himself played a part in choosing). Wouldn't trust what he says. https://substack.com/@aisupremacy/note/c-127024719

Say what you will about Zuck, but he's done more to build an Open AI than Sam ever will.
