Hmmm I used to work for the DASGBBAA too. You wouldn’t believe the ops we ran.

Huhuh we got raw storied huhuh

It’s only a model

With the insane costs for training and inference, those subscriptions would have to be veeeery very very expensive. One of the more interesting cases was the dev who burned like 15k on a sub of 200? iirc, anthropic claude. And he or she is probably not the only one.

Exactly, I agree.

Also, IBM was still big on mainframes and PCs, and OS/2 of course, and hadn’t really that much interest in Netware or Windows then (outsourcing deals aside). Apple was even way farther away from that, completely on their own OS and Appletalk, directories were not really useful for their users then.

Netware 4 was utter garbage. It was horribly buggy if you got it to install. Admins hated it, and then win2k peeped around the corner.

A team of agentic designers eh. Or blind ones.

You mean Novell royally fucked up Netware and people went to AD at first because of that. But yes, AD was quite new then, mostly an add-on for NT domains (and still sort of is :) try going full kerberos…).

Okay, you can work on the fat thing, but the other two? Just sit in a chair in the middle of the room all day and say things like “engage”, “make it so” and “where’s my tea, earl grey, hot, number one?”, problems solved.

So to be clear once more: no offence meant to you and horse_ebooks, I apologise profusely if you still feel I was.

horse_ebooks is cool indeed, but I meant to compare llms to the random text those _ebooks accounts created, as in “ai is a bad joke version of what horse_ebooks did”.

99% close to AGI? An average fresh turd has a higher chance of being intelligent than those failed horse_ebook LLM jokes.

Bah, some movie exec “inspired” by ai chatbots most likely.

There’s a book by Robert Rankin where the world is completely out of ideas and people are watching Terminator 283 (iirc) in the theaters, and thinking it “tends to get a bit samey”. To be honest this news sounds way too much like the book.

Zelda?

I’ve hit the gym several times and it’s about to collapse… what do I do now?
