Sure, The Age of abundance...

...But for who though?

We've already seen the Studio Ghibli image generation slop that went viral everywhere on social media, sure it exposed everyone to Studio Ghibli at the cost of cheapening the style.

Artists almost certainly lose here.

We can keep saying "Jevons Paradox" will save us as we use more AI cheaply and that "there will be new jobs" as a result. However:

1. We don't know these new jobs.

2. AI can take them anyway before we even conceive it being a job.

Is anyone hiring for prompt engineers, vibe coders, guess not.

Have we even thought ahead about what happens when most of the people who can't share in this abundance that we are all happily replacing cannot pay rent?

Are we going to pay these people in abundance tokens or the utopian UBI?

Those who are already b/millionaires, investors who don't want to lose their already attained wealth will massively benefit from this cheapening of labour and will continue to acrew these benefits.

Why should they pay $120K/yr for engineers, or $4K commission from an artist when we can just generate them close to free?

After all, it only has to be good enough.

Main point being is, while generating Studio Ghibli styles and vibe coding is a harmless plaything toy for the already rich, for those who are poor who have gambled their careers, it is the difference between their next rent payment or on the streets.

But abundance is great right?

I would love to be optimistic, but are going to have to do better than this if we want for everyone to share in your vision of abundance, especially if you're invested in the companies that are replacing people's jobs and not disclosing this.

Were you paid to talk about the product? If not, then it’s constitutionally protected speech. If there is any kind of payment, it’s advertising. If it’s advertising, follow the law.

Good thing we have so much confidence in our leadership and intergovernmental cooperative relationships!
I’d love to have an ad-free internet, sure. But simply introducing regulations won’t make that happen. There’s too much money in advertising to stop it, and that money can fund an alternative, ad-supported internet that could offer a significantly superior experience: FOR FREE!

When we talk about banning ads, we tend to underestimate the power of capitalism and consumerism, while overestimating how much people truly value the privacy of their online privacy.

Given that the comparison doesn't include O3 or gemini pro 2.5, I'd say it doesn't. Looking both at the comparison table available for llama 4 behemoth and gemini pro 2.5 it seems like at least a few of the comparable items might be won by gemini

Sao Paulo, Brazil, made outdoor advertising illegal. That worked out quite well.

The US used to forbid prescription drug advertising. That seemed to work.

Ads for liquor, marijuana, and gambling are prohibited in many jurisdictions.

The FCC once limited the number of minutes of ads per hour on the public airwaves. That limit was below 10% of air time in the 1960s.

The SEC used to limit ads for financial products to dull "tombstone" ads, which appeared mostly in the Wall Street Journal.

A useful restriction might be to make advertising non tax deductible as a business expense. That encourages putting value into cost of goods sold rather than marketing.

Wildly misleading, which dilutes the point the site is trying to make.
Reminder for everyone: HN is a advertisement for Ycombinator. This "free discussion website" is an ad.

I really think people take so much for granted that even when they think about what they take for granted, they still can only scratch the surface.
> The current approach of companies pushing their products to everyone is how we got to the mess we are in today.

The most prosperous society ever known to man, a veritable wonderland of consumer choice and entrepreneurial opportunity that draws people from all over the world to study visit and move here. What a mess.

So we have some annoying advertising. Small price.
Awesome, that looks like what I want. Thanks for sharing!
I have Apple Silicon and it's the worst when it comes to prompt processing time. So unless you want to have small contexts, it's not fast enough to let you do any real work with it.

Apple should've invested more in bandwidth, but it's Apple and has lost its visionary. Imagine having 512GB on M3 Ultra and not being able to load even a 70B model on it at decent context window.

Yes, but what will you need as you will prepare to be set for your personal needs?

We are far from having reached optimal technology at trivial cost. State-of-the-art commercial VRAM is over 10x faster than the standard one - and costs well over 10x.

Reasonably available speeds may or may not be acceptable.
All ad-funded services are really customer-funded.
Can't you just turn off notifications. I have very few enabled.
That is how I read it. Transformer based LLMs have limitations that are fundamental to the technology. It does not seem crazy to me that a guy involved in research at his level would say that they are a stepping stone to something better.

What I find most interesting is his estimate of five years, which is soon enough that I would guess he sees one or more potential successors.
What if every service offered on the internet supported by advertising were legally required to offer an ad-free version (which is allowed to carry a monthly fee)?
> Obviously, the probability for this to happen is 1 in 2^256, which is such a ridiculously small number, that there is nothing in the physical world to describe it by example.

Here is my attempt. Take a deck of 52 cards. Pick 5 more cards from another deck of a different brand. So now we have 57 distinct cards. Assume that the 57 cards are shuffled thoroughly in a random and uniform manner, meaning that each permutation of the 57 cards is equally likely.

What are the odds of you guessing all 57 cards in the correct sequence purely by chance? Turns out the odds of you guessing the entire sequence of 57 shuffled cards are better than 1 in 2^256.

In fact, 57! < 2^256 < 58!.
Worth questioning who that benefits the most. It definitely benefits consumers in the sense that they won't be bombarded by advertisements.

But it also benefits large businesses that already spent millions advertising and now have a much deeper moat.

It kind of reminds me of college sports before NIL deals. Back then, you couldn't pay college recruits. You'd think this levels the playing field, right?

In fact, we saw the opposite effect. You see schools spending millions to add waterslides to their locker rooms, or promising "exposure" that smaller schools can't offer. You essentially had to spend twice as much on stuff that indirectly benefited the players.

I'd expect similar things to happen among businesses. Think "crazy stunt in Times Square so that an actual news site will write about it."
A good example of this is many LLMs failing this prompt

Noted non-commercial entities like AT&T, HP and IBM were among the first owners (renters) of 2nd level domains on .com (for commercial) in the mid-80s though.

> to seek security guarantees from China at this point.

The Chinese won't provide these guarantees. If you understand Chinese culture and read Chinese history, you'd realise that the Han are generally not a very militaristic people. (As an example, look into Zheng He and his fleet of massive ships, which he used only for trade and expeditions, and not for colonialism.) They simply don't have the same ambition or interest as the US does in placing boots on the ground and interfering militarily in other countries. (Neither are they interested in imposing their current authoritarian Sino-Marxist system on other nations -- such fears are merely a consequence of projection by the US and the West, which have historically behaved in ideologically dogmatic ways, being quick to judge, condemn, and prescribe, while unwilling and unable to understand different contexts and nuances.)

No Chinese parents would tolerate the idea of sending their sons to die defending Canada, a Western country an ocean away with nary any historical and cultural ties to China. And, contrary to what most people here might assume, the CCP does care about what the Chinese people think.
In C++, I find Cap'n Proto very impressive: https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto
Those existed once. They were called ‘magazines’. But they mostly became ad-supported, and then got killed by the Internet.
I mean they're not comparing with Gemini 2.5, or the o-series of models, so not sure they're really beating the first point (and their best model is not even released yet)

Is the new license different? Or is it still failing for the same issues pointed by the second point?

I think the problem with the 3rd point is that LeCun is not leading LLama, right? So this doesn't change things, thought mostly because it wasn't a good consideration before
That's only part of the problem.
Is the recall and reasoning equally good across the entirety of the 10M token window? Cause from what I've seen many of those window claims equate to more like a functional 1/10th or less context length.
I admit that I cannot even imagine the state of mind in which one could attribute parochial, contingent political preferences to the UNIVERSE.

Someone probably made the same argument about slavery hundreds of years ago, but here we are.
I feel like all the “targeted audience” stuff is used more to sell ad space and get its metrics rather than actually “targeting” ads.
Very interesting problem. It was unclear, but it sounds like this is about physically tapping into the cable (after the drone has attacked?) and locating the source?
Great post, and nice recreation!

I went through a period of recreating songs during Covid. Here's my attempt at Short Circuit from the same album: https://on.soundcloud.com/F5dcikiLb9RNQ4jC9

The chords at the end were really difficult to get 100% right. Think I got to about 95%. I didn't get around to the bit crushing. I was a bit deflated that the chords weren't spot on :)
On top of that, quite a few fact checkers seem to be cherry pickers too. I’ve seen too many fact-checks where with some knowledge of the topic it was obvious that fact checkers either didn’t do due diligence or pushed a narrative on purpose.
You just found the central tactic China has been using for 10+ years now.
Nice. I did that with a brand of orange juice that I really liked as a kid. They replied with a bunch of coupons for free orange juice.
Yes loaded from RAM and loaded to RAM are the big distinction here.

It will still be slow if portions of the model need to be read from disk to memory each pass, but only having to execute portions of the model for each token is a huge speed improvement.
Good website/visualization, but I think the implementation can be improved. If I remember correctly, one of the strengths of DDA is that it works out entirely with integer math. I think you get there by multiplying out the denominators. Seeing that this implementation involves sqrt(), it probably has room for improvement.
Most advertising is done via "influencers," now...
Really? I definitely learned about Send Cut Send and PCBWay from advertising. I had no idea that kind of custom manufacturing was even possible let alone affordable.
Is it a consideration with monetary value? Then it’s advertising, much like how bribing public official is still (theoretically) illegal even if you don’t do it in cash. If it’s not, then the discoverer has no incentive to act according to the business’s demand.

I wouldn't be too hasty to call someone's job sad, unless they actually hated it.

From the article:

> […] Christophe relies on the steady income of his job at the Co-op serving customers. He is contracted to do 12 to 20 hours a week, […]. He said: "The reason I will never be able to fulfil my dream to be living exclusively off my art is because of the competition there now is so I have to have two sources of income.

And specifically:

> "Working at the Co-op also helps me maintain contact with the outside world as otherwise you can be immersed in your own art world. As long as my tummy is full and I have a roof over my head, that is the most important thing."
I love this article because I think this is the conversation we should be having. Lots of advertising is harmful, some of it is useful on balance, and some of it is too hard to ban without infringing on other desirable speech. But I do think we should be critically thinking about all advertising and outlawing certain flavors of it.

He said this is what would happen. I voted for him. And it’s happening. Nothing to be upset about. Even his deranged haters, some who have tried to murder him at least twice now and attack American Teslas, are going to benefit.
What a pathetic and horrible take. Who cares about Microsoft's 50th anniversary? They are facilitating genocide, more guilty than most. This protest was appropriate and these people were very brave to sacrifice their jobs, but that's how desperate the situation is.
Apple consumers aren't price sensitive. If they were, they wouldn't buy Apple.

I think the point is that they're opt-in advertising. You didn't pick up a book and find pages from the Sears catalog interspersed with the pages you were trying to read. You picked up the Sears catalog when you were considering a purchase and wanted to see what was available.

What happens if he doesn't pay the fine? He goes to jail. All laws are enforced with the threat of jail, otherwise nobody would follow them. So not only do you need an all-pervasive surveillance system to identify when a waiter tries to market something, but also a justice system with the power to jail him for doing so.
I mean it literally says on the page:

"Shown are the sum of prompt and completion tokens per model, normalized using the GPT-4 tokenizer."

Also, it ranks the use of Llama that is provided by cloud providers (for example, AWS Lamda).

I get that OpenRouter is imperfect but its a good proxy to objectively make a claim that an LLM is "the weakest ever"
Already solved elsewhere in the thread: Ban unsolicited advertising. Product recommendations in places where the consumer is explicitly visiting to get product recommendations are not unsolicited.

Couldn’t you gradually include more recent documents as you train?
If you drive to a bookstore a mile away to pick up the book, the carbon emissions from that final mile are higher than from shipping the book across the ocean. Large ships are very energy efficient and their payload fractions are high. Which is why it makes economic sense to ship even low-value bulk goods such as oil over long distances.
According to [0] it's partly due to a key change they introduced in interleaving layers that use standard RoPE positional encodings and layers using what's called NoPE [1], not encoding positions at all and letting the model to figure those out on its own (this exclusively works because the LLMs are autoregressive, so the model can recognize an input token as being the very first by there not yet being any other tokens to attend to, and recursively deriving the position of the subsequent ones from that base case)

And why would you want to discover commercial products (NOT "things") that you didn't knew existed? That's some form of brainwashing that I don't accept and would gladly get rid of.
I wonder if there will be a market for "old timey" models one day, ones with a cutoff date of 1800 or similar.
Not surprising that people react as negatively to this in this forum as they do. Most people here would lose their jobs after all.

Listening so Science Friday today on NPR, the two guests did not think AGI was a useful term and it would be better to focus on how useful actual technical advances are than some sort of generalized human-level AI, which they saw as more of a marketing tool that's ill-defined, except in the case of makes the company so many billions of dollars.
Worldwide centrist and conservative groups account for 60%+ of the population. The training data bias is due to the traditional structure of Internet media which reflects the underlying population very poorly. See also for example recent USAID gutting and reasons behind it.
To be fair, it's probably been trained on a vast number of tweets from a subset of white Americans upset that they can't yell the n-word whenever they feel like it (where "can't" means "can, but with consequences").
This article is what happens when you absolutely refuse to read anything from hundreds of years of political theory, and try to reinvent everything from first principles the way that self-proclaimed rationalists do. Very little reflection on why certain viewpoints often cluster together other than "it's tribalism, duh".
I think everyone knows that, but the distinction is that the catalog is "pull" in the sense that if you decide to keep your catalog, the advertising is inside the catalog, and you have to physically retrieve your catalog and open it to find what you're looking for (when you're looking for it), instead of the "push" method of running advertisements in every news article and on every bus.
Isn't there a vast quantity of relevant information in CJK languages? I remember reading some models even "think" in other languages where there might be more detail before outputting in the target language.
