The statement says clinical evidence shows that once a patient has declined in motor skills and language functions by a certain amount, the drug is no longer a benefit in slowing the progression of the disease.

Sounds reasonable

Non-healing consumables are always either so strong they're required to finish the game (Terraria) or so weak that they may as well be a placebo (Cyberpunk).

I'm not a fan of the British empire and all that they've done, but I still appreciate their ceremonial role.

The speed of many machine learning models is bound by the speed of the memory they're loaded on so that's probably the biggest one.

Senators don't have that kind of power. The constitution's fatal flaw is that it designates the legislative branch to make the laws and the judicial to interpret them, but left both reliant on the executive branch the enforce them. He could certainly try to bring Garcia back but without the executive branch on his side he'd likely get stuck there himself.

Exchange has always been done with IOUs. Even when bartering was the meta they still exchanged promissory notes for larger scale transactions where they didn't have the goods on hand.

Microsoft researchers build 1-bit AI LLM with 2B parameters — model small enough to run on some CPUs in c/[email protected]

Rather than CPUs I think these are a much bigger deal for GPUs where memory is much more expensive. I can get 128GB of ram for 300CAD, the same amount in vram would be several grand.

You're licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it's made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that's clearly not the case here.

Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn't advancement it's replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.

OpenAI's GPT Trademark Request Has Been Denied (tsdr.uspto.gov)
 

First, applicant argues that the mark is not merely descriptive because consumers will not immediately understand what the underlying wording "generative pre-trained transformer" means. The trademark examining attorney is not convinced. The previously and presently attached Internet evidence demonstrates the extensive and pervasive use in applicant's software industry of the acronym "GPT" in connection with software that features similar AI technology with ask and answer functions based on pre-trained data sets; the fact that consumers may not know the underlying words of the acronym does not alter the fact that relevant purchasers are adapted to recognizing that the term "GPT" is commonly used in connection with software to identify a particular type of software that features this AI ask and answer technology. Accordingly, this argument is not persuasive.
