For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

$200/mo chatGPT mode = unlimited slow Sora generations. Oh heck YES Unlimited slow mode is the killer feature of midjourney. SO EXCITED Sora has it too. Once you dont worry about hitting limit caps it totally transforms how you can use the tool

Codestral @MistralAILabs first impression: 1. 80 languages is crazy. Finally someone included Swift. Which a lot of OS models skip 2. Really fucking fast. wtf. It’s a 22b model and it’s significantly faster than mistral 7b. Are they using groq to serve it?? Comparison:
