@MichaelStolarzhuge props to @pkanez @JackK on the quick turnaround from @Google cancelling my 2 month free trial (and many others') prematurely, just got this beautiful email in the inbox. amazing to see this kind of fast community-based support. bullish for Google tbh
@MichaelStolarzthe main problem with generation of any kind is the lack of being able to say "nah, ur good".
i.e. if you ask "should I refactor this?", the answer will always be yes, here's how to do it, and never "nah, ur good".
hence, you're most likely always ADDING code, never DELETING.
@MichaelStolarzthis is real btw, not satire

@MichaelStolarzthis is how much @sama truly needs tbh
@MichaelStolarzarticles like these are meta-ironic, right? right?... RIGHT?!
@torchcompiled
Journalists are grasping at straws trying to make the case that generative AI is causing a water crisis. I drink more than that verbalizing the amount of words in 5-50 responses, and who said cooling needed to use drinkable water??
@MichaelStolarzthe problem with marketing to kids is that few kids have VR headsets to start with, let alone AVP. it's different for phones - phones provide so much other value that it makes sense for parents to dish out $500 for a decent phone. same price for quest / 5x price for AVP... nope.
@arian_ghashghai
An example: MR virtual pets. Will do well in MR, and I have been pitched this concept before for Quest 3. As a new-age Tamagotchi (targeted to younger audiences), Q3 also more likely to already have an ideal age demographic vs AVP. Not sure AVP enables anything novel here … Less

@MichaelStolarzOK so they fixed this problem
@MichaelStolarzOK let's try this bad boy out
@MichaelStolarznew personal rule: never interviewing without the ability to use my own AI system. literally pointless imo but to each their own
@MichaelStolarzi've heard that drinking water solves vr (specifically Apple Vision Pro) headaches. finally, a worthy reason for you to drink more water, anon
@MichaelStolarzi follow a few 50 yr old+ programmers/techbros, it's so cool to see them flame each other here on twitter while they're talking about AI and whether it's x or y or z. one of my favorite pastimes
@MichaelStolarz👀

Ok so this is one benchmark, but Senku-70B (leaked mistral finetune) beats GPT-4 in EQ Bench. Not sure how I go about getting this added on the website. Senku-70B is available here. huggingface.co/ShinojiResearc…
@MichaelStolarzimagine overlaying a filter over EVERYTHING so you're just in an anime world full of anime characters... coming soon to an apple vision pro near you (if u have $4K)
@MarkovMagnifico
so has anyone fucked with the vision pro and irl-to-anime filters running on them yet?

Pro coding tip
@MichaelStolarzgive us llama3 already pls @finkd
@MichaelStolarzif you're making an installer for literally any program, make the initial install file less than 1MB. No need for it to be more. no one wants to install 400MB within their browser - do this through the installer with a nice little UI.
@MichaelStolarzthis would be based because it would force me to finally learn rust/zig

@NickADobos imagine if you were charged $2139 a year to use C or python
@MichaelStolarzlmao remember that one ex-google guy that said google's AI reached sentience and he started advocating for its rights / warning people about it on news channels
@MichaelStolarzchina's AI tech is starting to outshine due to them basically not caring at all about copyright. just look at the difference in response lol
@MicahBerkley
I'm very impressed with new Alibaba's Vision AI model. In some way's it's better than GPT4 because it does an extremely impressive job at identifying people. The way that I use these vision models in business is usually to interface images into words, or in my case, I use them … Less
I'm very impressed with new Alibaba's Vision AI model. In some way's it's better than GPT4 because it does an extremely impressive job at identifying people. The way that I use these vision models in business is usually to interface images into words, or in my case, I use them for my descriptions of eCommerce products. Take the description, mix a little ChatGPT and SEO keywords, and you can watch your store ramp up in organic traffic. You can try the new Alibaba model for free at huggingface.co/spaces/Qwen/Qw… Try it yourself. #TheAIMogul Qwen-VL-Plus vs GPT4

@MichaelStolarzand doomer's justification for this is "because this is better than the potential of p(doom)"
it's literally a psuedo-religious threat of 'the end of the world', the only cure being?... more rationing, inflation, bureaucratic friction and widespread pain. bingo.
@beffjezos
Despite what the doomers say deceleration doesn't equate to "flowers puppies and everything nice", it's more rationing, inflation, bureaucratic friction and widespread pain.
@MichaelStolarz"within this decade" sounds like a long time, but reality is he means in less than 6 years
+ factor in he's being pretty safe with his estimates so it will probably be 3-4 years if things stay on track with growth % increase

@MichaelStolarzi sincerely think apple made the 1st gen apple vision pro bigger than it needs to be because:
- huge selling point for 2nd gen
- they know only the fanatics will buy 1st gen
- they'll do what they do best; "we know you loved apple vision pro, and we've heard your concerns..."
@MichaelStolarzwhat's with so many recent react -> rails codebase rewrites lately? saw at least 3 in the past 2 weeks
@MichaelStolarzI mean all you need is to make a script that has mouse/keyboard functionality and simple "complete this puzzle" logic.
allow the LLM to diagnose the question, move the mouse/keyboard if need be... and... solved.
we'll see this in mass action in probably a month or two from now
@skalskip92
Qwen-VL-Plus is SACARY good! (better than GPT-4V) here it is casually solving Recaptcha! - You don't have to give any additional instructions other than 'Solve it.' - It can even mark the exact position of the objects it is looking for. ↓ it can do so much more
@MichaelStolarz>how dare you attempt to generate an UGLY made-up dog that never existed and even if it did it has no idea what the word ugly even means because it's a dog
@MichaelStolarzi refuse to believe this is real

@MichaelStolarzwtf is openai doing by not having fuzzy search within chatgpt?
@MichaelStolarzchances of openai becoming based and going full mask-off uncensored with a "warning" for generations instead of blocking requests? would sama even be allowed to do this?
@yacineMTB
The reason I made this image is because openai is actually doomed i know for a fact that they are not going to make it someone will take all their users because someone will actually serve them its a matter of time your moat isn't built yet back to lobbying before its too late
@MichaelStolarzIt's so crazy to look at content of any kind from 2+ years ago and realize... there was no mainstream AI tool to easily produce this
There was no ChatGPT, LLMs (of today's quality), MidJourney, etc
@MichaelStolarzEU seems like the worst of both worlds.
USA's people can do "whatever they want" (to quite a degree), and so this brings innovation otherwise impossible through heavy regulations.
Same for China (replace people with gov).
EU can't effectively do either, so they play catch-up.

@MichaelStolarzto put this in perspective, it's like asking a Russian grandmaster in chess what each of the pieces are called in Chinese "because a good chess player should know it in every language".
how about we just do the hire based on merit instead of the ability to make sorted lists?
Today I learned that a Kaggle competitions grandmaster was unable to get even to the screening interview stage for a low-level AI position at Google, the parent company of Kaggle. I am sure they will select a candidate who can perfectly sort a linked list on a whiteboard. And tha… Less
Today I learned that a Kaggle competitions grandmaster was unable to get even to the screening interview stage for a low-level AI position at Google, the parent company of Kaggle. I am sure they will select a candidate who can perfectly sort a linked list on a whiteboard. And that, in a nutshell, is why I think that the job screening process in tech is absolutely f***ed up.
@MichaelStolarzTruly ahead of their time. They knew about the Llama models before anyone else. Let's listen to these prophets and truly make use of Llama 3 when it comes out 🤝

@MichaelStolarzI truly believe that one of the reasons GPT-4 is so bad at following directions (specifically to coding) is because of all the safety precautions it has in tact.
...if you train it to -not listen to certain asks-, guess what happens? This affects other areas of task completion.
@MichaelStolarz5 minutes in using @arcinternet and I can already tell that I'm never going back. One of the most seamless migration experiences I've ever had.
@MichaelStolarzunfortunately it's going to get a lot easier, higher quality, faster, less expensive to generate, and a waaaay more mainstream. this isn't even 1%.
absolutely nothing we can do about it other than prepare ourselves and our loved ones mentally for what this will bring to fruition

@MichaelStolarzUntil a Vision Pro headset is the price of an iPhone, I don't see mass adoption of it. Maybe in 2+ iterations of it, we'll see both an increase in quality/utility AND a decrease in price.
Then again, if you compare it to a Macbook instead of an iPhone...
@MichaelStolarzthere are people stuck on a cruise for 9 months, documenting everything on tiktok. imagine the AI breakthroughs that will happen between their boarding and final destination...
if there's ever been a time to build, it's now.
@MichaelStolarzAll of this is thanks to AI and algorithms. Get with the times or this is coming for your career choice - hurts to say/hear but that's the blunt truth.

It is believed that the Terracotta Army, referring to the soldiers guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, looked like this when they were first crafted around 2200 years ago.
