The Hebrew version had also distanced itself from what would be considered Journalism. But with no real field reporting from Gaza, that's the info you can get, and you have to guesstimate the reality from there.

and there would be field reporting if the IDF didn't go around executing any journalist they find (including child "journalists" merely posting on social media)

> In the near term, some CEOs and management teams will profit from the short term valuations

That's actually really interesting to think about. The idea that doing something counter-productive like trying to replace employees with AI (which will cause problems), may actually benefit the company in terms of valuations in the short run. So in effect, they're hurting and helping the company at the same time.

Here’s the really annoying thing with powershell: it doesn’t have a module distribution model. Like, at all. A csharp script, on the other hand, gets NuGet out of the box.

I've just checked the report (which was uploaded this month, 2025-05), and many links I've found in the citations are either garbled or lead to 404 pages. Even if they didn't use an LLM to generate this paper, it's still very, very sloppy work.

Money isn't everything. We only invented capitalism a few centuries ago.

Maybe "it" was referring to sex.

Natfan · 3 months ago

You can just use "they/them" if you don't know their gender. Much less offensive than calling someone an "it" (unless it's something they've specifically requested)

So this type of article is going to be written every time a model is deprecated?

GPT-3 is the one that shocked the world.

And the main innovation (transformer with attention) predates it by a few years and was already surprising people in GPT-2

Natfan · 4 months ago

Agreed. For me, GPT-2 was the first time I saw generated text in the wild (thanks r/subredditsimulator!) back in ~2015(?), and GPT-3/ChatGPT was the real model/interface that shocked the world.

how did you manage to put

- no bloat

- built-in AI co-pilot with ollama (local) or openai/anthropic

into one list?
