“fractional CTO”(no clue what that means, don’t ask me)

For those who were also interested to find out: Consultant and advisor in a part time role, paid to make decisions that would usually fall under the scope of a CTO, but for smaller companies who can’t afford a full-time experienced CTO

Cause or consequence, now that is the question.

No, using an OS is not something that requires a promise of commitment. It’s a utility needed for using a computer.

As enthusiasts we want as many people as possible to use good OSs, even if it ends at just trying it out.
The more people try Linux the better regardless of their motives.

Some overlap? It’s like 90%

Don’t you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what’s happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.

Probably undoing whatever it was they did on Monday (and badly patched in the meantime)

Windows team is desperate to remain relevant.

I suspect most Microsoft revenue these days comes from Azure and the cloud version of Office. Windows OS is pretty much irrelevant other than as a platform to distribute other products.

If anyone is in doubt - this is clearly satire

she suggests that every board meeting should include an AI bot – and perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, replace the entire board with bots altogether

She’s got a point though

He’s more of a “High Priest of Antichrist” type. He’d fit perfectly as a season villain in Buffy.

Investors be investering.

No understanding about building a business. Companies just magically appear as fully developed and profitable, then you milk them for short term returns.

The typical recommendation in this case is Debian.
I don’t know how hard it is to install since I don’t use it myself. There are a lot of people swearing by it’s stability, even running it for 10+ years on the same hardware without a reinstall.

Google replicated the mental state if not necessarily the productivity of a software developer

Salesman gonna sell.

Altman is quite good at it actually. Remember when he was saying how scared he was of his own AI. Or calling for increased regulation because their models are just sooo good that government has to nerf them.

They believe that they are a special breed of human being, the “new patriots” who are willing to take risks to restore America’s position in a place of global dominance

All of their actions taken so far lead to a catastrophic failure of the stated goal. Either they’re not honest, or they’re stupid.

Does anyone else think that LLMs have been regressing in the last 2 years. At least in the area of deep questions. Initially you could push the limits and actually bounce crazy ideas off of them and get some creative results.

Now they basically they always give you a canned answer that sounds like it was pre-approved by a committee.

They are not members of the party called the Conservative Party. It doesn’t stop them from being conservatives ideologically.

The article is very unclear on the kind of model they used. Several mentions of ChatGPT, but it doesn’t really sound like they used an LLM.

I really hope it’s not an LLM, this is a perfect case for specialized models trained just for surgery. I really wouldn’t want my surgeon to invent stuff when it doesn’t know what to do.

Good, keep convincing them that copyright is woke. And we don’t want anything woke right, wink wink

Humans suffer from the same problem. Racism and sexism are consequences of humans training on a flawed dataset, and overfitting the model.
