Sorry to give you false hope 😔

No but you see he is a visionary! A real life Tony Stark!! He’ll do great things with that money like… Making Twitter X likes private for some reason…? I’m sure that cost a lot of money somehow /s

Not my favorite community but I wish !writingprompts@lemmy.world had more engagement. It was really cool on Reddit and I wish it got more love here as well. I’d participate too but I can’t write for shit.

Maybe my comment came out sounding a bit too pretentious, which wasn’t what I intended… Oh well.

To one extent or another we all convince ourselves of certain things simply because they’re emotionally convenient to us. Whether it’s that an AI loves us, or that it can speak for a loved one and relay their true feelings, or even that fairies exist.

I must admit that when reading these accounts from people who’ve fallen in love with AIs my first reaction is amusement and some degree of contempt. But I’m really not that different from them, as I have grown incredibly emotionally attached to certain characters. I know they’re fictional and were created entirely by the mind of another person simply to fill their role in the narrative, and yet I can’t help but hold them dear to my heart.

These LLMs are smart enough to cater to our specific instructions and desires, and were trained to give responses that please humans. So while I myself might not fall for AI, others will have different inclinations that make them more susceptible to its charm, much like how I was susceptible to the charm of certain characters.

The experience of being fooled by fiction and our own feelings is all too human, so perhaps I shouldn’t judge them too harshly.

I always wondered how this business model of “free and open source everything” would work out. While it’s a nice sentiment it’s obviously a money sink, and there’s a reason basically every other attempt at monetizing AI stays behind closed doors.

But the costs associated with so much compute were now threatening to sink the company. According to an internal October financial forecast seen by Forbes, Stability was on track to spend $99 million on compute in 2023. It noted as well that Stability was “underpaying AWS bills for July (by $1M)” and “not planning to pay AWS at the end of October for August usage ($7M).” Then there were the September and October bills, plus $1 million owed to Google Cloud and $600,000 to GPU cloud data center CoreWeave. (Amazon, Google and CoreWeave declined to comment.)

Jeez, and here I am just fiddling around with my own little projects on Kaggle with a budget of $0.

Edit:

Another former Stability executive was far more pointed in their assessment. “Emad is the most disorganized leader I have ever worked with in my career,” this person told Forbes. “He has no vision, and changes directions every week, often based on what he sees on Twitter.”

lmao
