This mf started OpenAI as a non-profit with a mission to build open source for all humans. Now everything is closed, and this guy is talking shit about open source and local inference. What a stupid scammer.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources “a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

Sam Altman just told you local inference is terrible. Of course he fucking did. He sells the cloud. He wants every prompt you write to go through his servers. His prices. His rules. His logs. He decides which model you get today and what it refuses to do. You do not control any of it. That is exactly why local inference has to win. Every model running on your own computer is one less user he controls. Every open weights release makes his pitch weaker. So now the pitch is that RAM in your own computer is a waste of the world's supply. I run DeepSeek, Qwen and GLM on my 4x 3090 every day. Nobody reads my chats. Nobody changes my model overnight. Nobody can switch it off. Honestly, this quote is the best ad for local AI I have seen all year. Fuck your cloud, Sam. Run it at home. nitter.cf/morqon/status/21158388…

Now I understand why people hate Dario. Apparently, Claude’s copyright filters are now blocking attempts to clone or closely recreate existing games. Which is pretty ironic coming from the same company whose models were trained on massive amounts of publicly available internet data, while Anthropic also downloaded millions of books from pirate libraries and literally bought millions more, cut them apart, scanned them, and discarded the originals. They eventually agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement over the pirated books. Now, apparently, recreating someone else’s work is where the line gets drawn. The copyright line seems to become sacred only when Anthropic is standing on the other side of it.
ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨 Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off. The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.” Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?

I think I speak for everyone when I say "@AnthropicAI , fuck you and the horse you rode in on." I don't personally care about doing video game rewrites myself. But the whole concept that some busybody can tell me what I may not do with the tool I am paying for is deeply offensive. You will be replaced by open-weight and open-source models. Every asshole move like this makes you more enemies and brings that day closer.

I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.

He was right. You can’t just let the engineers talk to customers.
RIP Richard Riehle. This is probably my favorite scene in Office Space

I really wanted to like the new @Apple Siri. Apple has had years to get this right, and I was hoping it would finally catch up. It's a little better — but only a little. The problem is the bar has moved. Siri is now competing with @Grok, @Muse, and ChatGPT Dots, and it's not even close. Even dictation is still mediocre. It's nowhere near @WillowVoiceAI or @WisprFlow. How does a company with Apple's resources stay this complacent? I don't get it. What’s been your experience?

Hey Mike! My family and the Bottaro family collaborated to make that scarecrow we just happened to be assigned right in front of the Charles so worked out perfect!

Found an amazing story about mentorship in r/Electricians that more people should read. Seriously it's just great.

Silicon Valley predicted @typesafeai
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

i basically am cheering on openai because i appreciate altman's honest sociopathy and will to power and prefer these to the anthropic program for enriching berkeley cultists

If AI starts killing people, the reaction won’t be “wow we should have listened to Anthropic”. It’s going to be “wow we should put those people in prison”.
