@RiccardoTrezzi @armandazzo It is not a matter of size. There is a generalized preference for internally-developed solutions (that are generally inferior), as well as a lack of knowledge and skills that makes the take-up of innovation slower than other countries.

@armandazzo La mia impressione è che non è solo un problema di size. Anche in realtà più grandi, non credo che AI sia usata come in US.

🇮🇹 Stato della tecnologia in Italia. Secondo GPT, gli utenti a pagamento, cioè quelli che usano i modelli più avanzati, sono 1 ogni 3-5 in 🇺🇸 e 1 ogni 30-50 in 🇮🇹 (attenzione: 1 ogni 3-5 in US e 1 ogni 3-50 in ITA **tra quelli che usano AI** che in ITA sono molti meno che in US). Ovvero, non solo #AI è usata molto meno in 🇮🇹 che altrove, ma la frontiera praticamente non la usa nessuno. Domando: è un problema di soldi (perfino 20$ al mese sono troppi?) o di mentalità/sistema?

On the "gemini deleted 30k code lines in production and killed all services" - this is the interesting part. reddit.com/r/Bard/comment… Reminds me of "why is HAL 9000 doing this" in 2001: a space odissey.

The longer you look at this, the worse it gets

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize). "Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing. A major milestone for AI, at any rate... @GrantaMag

This is lovely. "Drive & Listen, experience cities around the world from the comfort of your home. Take a virtual drive through over 100 cities while listening to their local radio stations" driveandlisten.app

If the EU built Claude

I've spent the past few weeks reading 100s of public data sources about AI development. I now believe that recursive self-improvement has a 60% chance of happening by the end of 2028. In other words, AI systems might soon be capable of building themselves.

Interesting study by @erikbryn and @avi_collis showing big consumer welfare gains from AI. Reminds us that large portion of the economic value of AI will not show up in traditional economic indicators. digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/publication/wh…

HTML Image Maps on steroids. So much brilliant innovation to unpack here: - everything is a link - the browser's address bar reinvented as a tree - responsive design? just a different image aspect ratio - infinite rabbit hole - educational & approachable: a 3 year old can use it

One of the most impressive demos of a completely different UI. Lovely-slow for sure! but impressive when you grasp its potential.

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!  Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways No other vehicle can do this.  We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

Well, if you install an unauthorized ADAS through the CAN bus that can potentially go and kill someone, and then blame Tesla for its FSD, go for it. I guess they did not like it much.

Even in space you are not safe from Microsoft.

You're so lucky! I only have Somali generals and the Bill Gates foundation writing me.

Reminds me of all the people saying that GPUs will be worthless in 3 years and AI bubble will burst because they found some RTX5090s at $300 on Ebay. Then you point out to them that they are marked "defective/for parts". And then they block you.

@QuixiAI no interest, I don't think there's much of a future in Intel GPUs, they will be cancelled in a gen or two. does Intel have any leadership in AI? the best outcome here is AMD makes their 32 GB cards more affordable.

My most popular Sora video was “an Elaborate regency romance where everyone is wearing a live duck for a hat (each duck is also wearing a hat), a llama plays a flute, prestige drama” I am not sure why OpenAI has decided their compute has more valuable uses. Really a mystery.

what a great idea
