heyoni commented on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that's not the worst of it   garymarcus.substack.com/p... · Posted by u/kgwgk

The AI community requires more independent experts like Marcus to maintain integrity and transparency, ensuring that the field does not succumb to hyperbole as well as shifting standards such as "internally achieved AGI", etc.

Regardless of personal opinions about his style, Marcus has been proven correct on several fronts, including the diminishing returns of scaling laws and the lack of true reasoning (out of distribution generalizability) in LLM-type AI.

These are issues that the industry initially denied, only to (years) later acknowledge them as their "own recent discoveries" as soon as they had something new to sell (chain-of-thought approach, RL-based LLM, tbc.).

I don’t associate any of these AI limitations and mischaracterizations with Marcus. Do you?

One of the things that I have realised is, at this moment in time, it's absolutely a bad idea to buy a subscription for any of the models right now.

The offerings are evolving and upgrading at quite a rapid pace, so locking into one company's offering, or another's, is really wasted money (Why pay 200/year upfront for something that looks like it will be outdated within the next month (or quarter))

> The real story is running these models at true performance max likely could go into the thousands per month per user.

A loss leader model like that failed for Uber, because there really wasn't any other constraints on competition doing the same, including under pricing to capture market share - meaning it's a race to the bottom plus a test on whose pockets were the deepest.

Just pay per month then.

Not a different person

"discovered she has a sizable interest in All U Chart, Inc., the company that holds the IP for ICEBlock"

I'm not sure what hen's employee contract reads.

There are some limitations on US government employees engaging in political action though (Hatch act).

Perhaps hen sent a text relating to All U during work hours?

Since when is dissemination of publicly facing information considered political action under the Hatch Act? The latter requires the person to use their influence or be on duty for it to count. The raids being reported by the app aren’t using insider information, they’re in progress and out in the open.

This situation is pretty clear cut. The administration isn’t being coy about purging anyone they think might be less than blindly loyal.

“Drug repurposing for AML” lol

As a person who is literally doing his PhD on AML by implementing molecular subtyping, and ex-vivo drug predictions. I find this super random.

I would truly suggest our pipeline instead of random drug repurposing :)

edit: Btw we’re looking for ways to fund/commercialize our pipeline. You could contact us through the site if you’re interested!

Can you explain what you mean by subtyping and if/how it negates the usefulness of repurposing (if that’s what you meant to say). Wouldn’t subtyping complement a drug repurposing screen by allowing the scientist to test compounds against a subset of a disease?

And drug repurposing is also used for conditions with no known molecular basis like autism. You’re not suggesting its usefulness is limited in those cases right?

Mitsubishi makes the best leds. get ones made by them. the rest can be driven by whatever

Maybe, maybe not. At power levels high enough to be therapeutic you’re gonna want to think about cooling.
