  • currently reading https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.17570

    this is PsiQuantum, who are hot prospects to build an actually-quantum computer

    no, they have not yet factored 35

    but they are seriously planning qubits on a wafer and they think they can make a chip with 1m noisy qubits

    anyone know more about this? does that preprint (from last year) pass sniff tests?

    (my interest is journalistic, and also the first of these companies to factor 35 gets all the VC money ever)

  • i really don't care, you fuckin weirdo

  • notice how Take Two didn't rate the wild response, and neither of the companies in the Aftermath article were EA or Ubisoft

  • reminded of the guy who said i could get rid of my problems with SPF/DMARC/DKIM by just not accepting mail from Gmail

    this was his advice for a business with ordinary customers btw

  • look Star Citizen will own

  • yeah the use case for LLMs is amusing novelty. That's why LLMs peaked with GPT-2, it was just the right amount of broken.

  • I'm not seeing how it's not fair to talk about what gaming studios do in terms of two of the largest.

  • I could, but why? It's almost certainly actual Adobe(tm) Creative Suite(tm) Photoshop(tm) Subscription Edition.

  • is Extropic now claiming to have actually done anything?

  • are you aware of what discussion group you're posting this to

  • i knew you robopervs clunkies bot appreciators would only have eyes for the hot springs

  • Baldur Bjarnason (who hates AI slop) has posited precisely this:

    My current theory is that the main difference between open source and closed source when it comes to the adoption of “AI” tools is that open source projects generally have to ship working code, whereas closed source only needs to ship code that runs.

  • I asked Github Copilot and it added import wreak to .NET, so we'll get back to you.

  • Yes, I know, I wrote it. Why do you consider this useful to post here?

  • why did you post literally just the text from the article

  • yeah, I think that's enough
