XIndustry11:14Jerry Tworek@millionintThat’s also a reason why I think @OmarchyLinux by @dhh may be a huge hit. At the time when price of software is dropping quickly, open source desktop os means full control and full customizability in a way very few had the stamina for before. The taste and social structure around the OS still matters a lot (continuing his point that open source lets model trainers learn/optimize your software for free — e.g. Blender may win 3D creation because models get better at it than proprietary tools)Collected by WispRead in full↗

XIndustry06:33Mark Chen@markchen90Agree with @JensenHuang: we're entering the AGI era. The AGI era must also be the alignment era. We need to teach AI to love humanity and train AI monitors as capable as the AIs they supervise.

XIndustry06:14Ethan Mollick@emollickI would buy that we are in an AGI era for "jagged AGI" (better than human in many areas, worse in others) but is that AGI? If you mean better than a human expert at most human tasks, we aren't there (yet?). But it is still astonishing that AI is where it is & got there so fast.Collected by WispRead in full↗
