Military spending is rising quickly. In the last five years, roughly half of all countries have increased their defense budgets, while the arms sales of the largest global defense companies have doubled in real terms over the past twenty years.

Statement on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

My piece on LLMs today less of a minority opinion than you might think. Here's Joachim Klements on the same. "If these three results (the prevalence of hallucinations, the inability to remove the neurons that create them and free replication of basic models without the need to pay for more complex models) are true, then OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and others are in serious trouble. Large-scale LLMs will not be able to replace mission-critical software because of the inherent hallucination problem, which does not go away due to the very structure of the models. At the same time, for everyday use cases where they are good enough, there are free models that already can do what the large models do, and every business can simply use these without having to pay OpenAI or any other money. So, where is the business model for these genAI companies?"
