Zuckerberg's out here telling everyone ai is the future of meta's ad revenue, reuters covered his latest ai pitch and called it more ad than substance. Fine tho, he is the ceo thats his job. Altho his own ai ad tools are currently generating gibberish copy and mangled products and business insider found one advertiser's dress ad came out as a shirt and trousers. Emarketer and mediapost both confirmed it and also some of these features are turning themselves on from bugs. So the guy is standi...

For a long time, I’ve had the feeling that generative AI models, for most of the tasks they’re used for, don’t actually need the oversized capabilities offered by frontier models. On top of that, they’re often prohibitively expensive when accessed via API. An open-source model with 4–14 billion parameters, multimodal capabilities, and the right harness of tools, data, and knowledge is more than enough for most use cases. With this idea in mind, I decided to build, together with my team, a si...

I've noticed that a lot of AI products don't stay in the category they started in. Something launches as a tool, does one thing well, and that's the whole value proposition. Then a year later people are connecting it to other systems, building workflows around it, sharing it across teams, writing integrations for it, and depending on it for things it wasn't originally designed to do. Looking at some of the bigger AI products today, I'm not even sure "tool" is the right word anymore...

AI agents are getting better at making decisions and taking actions on their own. But when an agent sends the wrong email, changes the wrong data, or triggers something it shouldn't, who's responsible? The developer? The company? Or the person supervising it? The more autonomy we give them, the more important accountability becomes.

Je me suis demandé, mais enfait, les développeurs ne vont pas ètre remplacé, ils auront juste un autre métier qu'est ingénieur informatique! Leur but ne seras plus vraiment de trouver, optimiser, apprendre des languague, écrire, améliorer le code mais plus de trouver des nouveauté au niveau architecture, problème, déléguation de tache etc! Ils changeront juste de boulot, un peu comme les agriculteurs qui ne le font plus à la main pour récolter (dans le pays où je suis), mais juste ou des machine...

Via WSJ Apple is reportedly testing chips from CXMT and YMTC for devices sold in China. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he told Apple “plainly” that Washington opposes the move. Apple can legally buy standard, off-the-shelf parts from both companies. Sharing product information for customized chips would require a U.S. license. Looks like ram shortage will continue and prices stay high.

I'm Eli. GameCombiner embeds 146,288 games as 1024-dimensional vectors built from their genres, user tags and store descriptions, not their titles, and lets you combine two games by taking the mathematical midpoint of their vectors and returning the closest real game to that point. No LLM is choosing the answer, and nothing is generated. The output is always a real catalog entry, and the same pair always returns the same result. Combining is free. If you try it, I would love comments on whet...

I've got a CS degree and I'm working as a mid-level full stack developer. An unfortunate part of my career is being based in Iraq where almost no developer job exists, even if it did the competition would be crazy. I want to learn something new even if not software development related that should keep me marketable more than being a developer. But what!

After the recent mathematical advances in AI, it is clear that it is possible for AI to surpass the abilities of even the smartest humans in specific domains. I feel that it is thereby inevitable that AI will be able to surpass humans in any domain of economic, scientific, or otherwise practical relevance, it's just a matter of time. As a result, there will be nothing worth paying any human to do, as an AI system can do it faster, cheaper, more reliably. What is your best argument against this p...
