When you tell them "mates the web frontend doesn't work properly" and they reply "whoa, we see all correctly boo!" and then you make some tests with different computers, tablets and smartphones and quite often things do not work, and finally you get an error message and you send them the relevant info and then.... crickets

"Scrum" is an old Latin equivalent for "scrotum", right? So "scrum master" is actually...

Just ended a phone call with someone who defines herself as a "feline assistant" because she is, more or less, an ethologist specialized in cats

Being scolded by ladies at the local supermarket because I'm not using loyalty points "correctly" is my new top achievement against capitalism

If Sam Altman is wrong: with DeepSeek you have LLMs with the same performance of OpenAI's ones but a fraction of the total costs.

I don't know if it helps, but Nvidia published a blog post detailing how to run DeepSeek-R1 distilled models on AMD Ryzen AI processors and Radeon GPU.

I've always loved Brutalist architecture, so now I'm bracing for it to become mainstream in the wrong way. Because of "The Brutalist", you know.

The fun thing about "open source AI" is that most people don't agree on what the definition means and most of self-defined open source AI projects aren't actually that open.

It sounds so "analog vs digital" that my car doesn't start because some mice chewed through some cables connecting some engine sensors to the car's electronic brain.

Nature strikes back. Orcas sink boats and now mice sink my car.

It's ok to be offended by how Chinese AI is censored, but that's the finger and not the Moon.

"Well it probably proves that AI techbros and VCs are fooling people, companies and the society at large, but hey I can't ask it about Tienanmen". Sure you want to follow this vibe?

So I tried to explain "situational awareness" to a friend who always runs with noise canceling earphones and, well, I failed.

Big American AI companies have used the same approach corporations have with anything else: throw more and more money, infrastructure and computing power to solve problems (any problem) with brute force. Costs and externalities don't matter because, hey, investors and marketing.

Then, of course it comes out some small company proving that reasoning and optimization are more effective than brute force. Even if DeepSeek is much worse that we see now, it's still a proof that techbros are gaslighting the market selling inefficient stuff at high prices just because they can. And there's too much money involved to officially say that the presumed Kings have always been naked.

Mind you: we didn't actually need a DeepSeek to understand the trick. Just have a look at open source AI models' performance compared to proprietary (and supposedly more expensively but much better trained) ones: less than 5% difference for the best "reasoning" models. The market was already hyperinflated. #ai

Basically:

a) LLMs will become commodity, sooner or later

b) SLMs give more or less the same results as LLMs, for most applications and right now

(a)+(b)= techbro panic "use our AI useless gimmicks plz or investors will eat us alive!!!1!!"

You'll be able to use the Copilot key even on your Linux cogitator. I hope not to use the shiniy new Clippy AI... er, Copilot. But however, do as you please.
