OpenAI to Spend $100 Billion on Backup Servers for AI Breakthroughs

When OpenAI in March released ChatGPT features that could turn photos into animated characters, a spike in usage forced the company to put temporary limits on the features.

It wasn’t the first time this had happened. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar told investors at a Goldman Sachs conference last week that the company has to regularly hold up launches of new features or AI models because of a shortage of compute capacity, or it purposely has to make some of its products work more slowly.

Psychology says the cruelest thing about being raised by a narcissistic but charming parent isn’t anything they did at home — it’s the structural impossibility of being believed by anyone outside the house, and a child who learns early that the world will never see what they see grows into an adult who has stopped trying to be understood by people who weren’t there

Most discussions of narcissistic parenting focus on what happens inside the house. The criticism. The control. The manipulation. The endless requirement that the child organize themselves around the parent’s emotional needs. These are all real, well-documented, and worth talking about. But there is a second feature of being raised by this kind of parent that ... Read more Read more

Геноцид «технарей»

Куда податься если 6 стало 9? "Чёрный слон" уничтожит многих, кто любит свою профессию, кто вникал ещё с детских кружков по информатике. И уничтожит не от того, что, как многие говорят "ИИ делает работу лучше", а просто из-за того, что мнение "массы" взяло верх, и нормальному человеку с этой глупостью невозможно смириться. Планомерное ли это уничтожение или ошибка в управлении, я не знаю. Может быть это первый акт мелодраммы о... Read more

Солнечные панели стали самым быстро развёртываемым источником энергии в истории. Разработка полупроводниковых лазеров дала нам оптико-волоко Read more
