    I’ve seen this one a few times and it’s puzzled me a bit for a while now, I don’t think anyone in these companies think iterating on an LLM model alone is going to give them AGI

    You only have to look at how Claude Code has taken off in the past 6 months. Sure the model is a big factor, but it’s the tooling built on top of it that makes it useful and disruptive. The model is what enabled the utility, when attached to conventionally engineered tooling.

    Whenever the first AGI is created, an LLM will 100% be part of the implementation, it’s just more than a one piece puzzle


  • I gotta wonder, given the power bill of these sites, why they’re letting so much heat energy out into the atmosphere

    Surely at least some of that heat could be tuned back into electricity. Yeah it’s not gonna pay all the bills, but surely at a certain level of scale, there’s gotta be some benefit in it just from an economical standpoint, let alone the ecological benefits of not accelerating climate change

    We’re only talking about it because we’re very likely to get a new Labour leader and prime minister soon, so the candidates are either trying to/being forced to say something about it because our media has a fucking pathology for boosting talking points such as Brexit that might allow them to put Farage on the screen too.

    Hmm, I’m of two minds about this

    On the one hand it’s simply a ridiculous increase and pretty indefensible as a jump. Especially given that it doesn’t really offer much you can’t do for free with something like jellyfin

    On the other hand at least they still offer a lifetime sub, crazy expensive yes, but the option is still technically there for someone who wants to use the software without subscription. Plenty of companies have gone down the sub only road, and I think we should give at least a bit of credit for them not doing the same, even though they’d clearly like to

    I know audiophiles are a bit of an outlier in general, but Roon lifetime is even more IIRC!
