Readit NewsInteresting to note - we have no idea how much R1 cost to train. To speculate - maybe DeepSeek’s release made an upcoming Llama release moot in comparison.
FP8 training and GRPO make sense to me, but that only gets you a 4x improvement total, right?
Hypothetical: If the only way we could build AGI would be to somehow read everyone's brain at least once, would it be worth just ignoring everyone's wish regarding privacy one time to suck up this data and have AGI moving forward?
So in this scenario I could see it become necessary from a military perspective.
actually you also don‘t always need a cookie banner (not mandated by GDPR) and being compliant is not as difficult as many consultants (who want to make money) say it is.
Still even though the idea of GDPR was great, but they didn‘t think about good and easy implementation. Which sucks and I understand the frustration.
Is it? I mean before COVID and especially before 2008 EU was thriving and in reality there wasn‘t substantially more or less regulation back then. (Yes GDPR came, but I highly doubt that this was a major factor).
In my opinion EU countries missed web 2.0 and where way to risk averse and old school to invest in those startups, that is why many founders moved to US. But I don‘t think regulation is the major factor, may be A reason, but I doubt it is THE reason.
I think most of the „bad“ regulation is actually national. EU regulation in many cases makes it easier to make business than the respective national laws. Tax for example is mainly national. Despite some attempts of unification.
For established industries regulation just increases prices. ... Until a new technology comes up that allows new competitors to enter the market. Like Tesla, SpaceX.
(Also, come on, it would be a trillion euro company.)
On the contrary, I think any company that grows that big would be split into smaller companies. This makes sense to me. 100x10b euro companies, or 20x50b (∆) euro companies provides a much higher social benefit than a single behemoth, even if it doesn't make the magical GDP number go exponential. Small companies can be controlled by legislation. Huge companies do the controlling, and that way lies dystopia. Trillion dollar companies are the American dream, not the European one.
(∆) Realistically it wouldn't divide that way of course. The value of the split companies won't equal to potential single huge company, they'll be either higher or lower.
