Claud 3.5 and o1 might be able to do that; if not, they are close to being able to do that. Still better than 99.99% of earthly humans

The latest llms get a perfect score on the south Korean SAT and can pass the bar. More than pure marketing if you ask me. That does not mean 90% of business that claim ai are nothing more than marketing or the business that are pretty much just a front end for GPT APIs. llms like claud even check their work for hallucinations. Even if we limited all ai to llms they would still be groundbreaking.

No doubt LLMs are not the end all be all. That said especially after seeing what the next gen 'thinking models' can do like o1 from ~~ClosedAI~~ OpenAI, even LLMs are going to get absurdly good. And they are getting faster and cheaper at a rate faster than my best optimistic guess 2 years ago; hell, even 6 months ago.

Even if all progress stopped tomorrow on the software side the benefits from purpose built silicon for them would make them even cheaper and faster. And that purpose built hardware is coming very soon.

Open models are about 4-6 months behind in quality but probably a lot closer (if not ahead) for small ~7b models that can be run on low/med end consumer hardware locally.

I'd agree the first part but to say all Ai is snake oil is just untrue and out of touch. There are a lot of companies that throw "Ai" on literally anything and I can see how that is snake oil.

But real innovative Ai, everything to protein folding to robotics is here to stay, good or bad. It's already too valuable for governments to ignore. And Ai is improving at a rate that I think most are underestimating (faster than Moore's law).

It almost seems like there's anti Mozilla campaign going on. It's normal to see some critique but all of a sudden there is a huge Mozilla hate push. Call me crazy but it feels organized

Title is probably true, but also it's less likely for the NSA to leak your info than say an ISP that openly sells your info. I highly doubt that the NSA sees someone pirating Photoshop as a priority. VPNs can help with preventing a random ad from logging your real loose location, have built in DNS ad block, open up region locked content plus a list of other benefits.

VPNs absolutely help with general privacy, like not putting your personal phone number on a public registry. They are not intended to perfectly hide you from a super power's intelligence agency lol

Intel GPUs look like a great value. And AV1 hardware acceleration is a game changer

I doubt they need to install something new for a back door

Standardnotes already has premium sharing where you can give someone premium but that account's file storage usage come from the original account's plan.

Knowning openai they will make the platform as locked down as they can

Oh yeah, it'll work fine on any truenas/unraid/synology system it works on about anything with docker/linux there's even a beta for windows.

My only complaint is a lack of URLbase so setting up a reverse proxy on some setups does not work well.

I doubt they really care, there's still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.

If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!
