It’s an existing meme, I believe originally from right wing dumbf*ks but nicely fitting for this occasion. He had 4 years to make something out of it, he didn’t do bad at all but this is a bit of a silly statement.
Yes, but solar cells are in the end very simple products made of very simple resources, with a limited task: concerting one type of energy into another. That said, there is still research in making them more efficient and cheaper, and the that research isn’t cheap.But generative AI / LLM takes an insane amount of resources to train and maintain, is complex to create, with a very complex task, and a slight increase in quality takes progressively more resources (like, say 10% better would be 50% more energy use - I don’t have the numbers anymore but iirc they were even worse). A better LLM would therefore be much, much more expensive while people are apparently already underwhelmed with the latest models.
With the growing competition, fast rising costs and meagre quality updates, while already unable to financially sustain themselves right now, I truly don’t see it. Honestly, this is why I think Microsoft is cramming their subpar Copilot into everything - to sort of justify all the money they pumped into this.
Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!
I ran an RD program years ago. Lots of bored and/or poor, greedy devs submitted metric shit tons of pseudo vulnerabilities (“if I do ctrl-u I can see source code on your web site!” No shit, Sherlock.). I can only imagine how much easier this has become with the help of generative ai…
Agreed, but also: if it works and is merged, you get credited, and your Github account gets a better reputation. This makes it easier to deploy attacks like xz as you have a track record of merges.Also, plain vandalism, because people are like that.
Edit: probably also bug bounty attempts. If you’ve ever been on the receiving side of a Responsible Disclosure program , you’ll know what I mean.
Edit edit: it’s all in the article, darnit. Sorry.
Hard disagree: anything is a target for criminals like the NSO Group; blaming Whatsapp specifically for this muddies the discussion. Sure, you should avoid it - for other reasons, do a proper risk assessment please.
Burn and ruin? My god man, it’s veritable caffeine tarmac lining the intestines and pumping that blood like crazy. Taste bud plebs, the lot of them.
