A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Lol, Ed Zirtron is very paralleled.
He's pessimistic and cynical to the point of being conspiratorial and delusional.
He's someone to listen to when you want to hear someone go on an unhinged rant about the tech industry, not someone you listen to when you want to actually understand how it works.
I mean look at this trash article, he spends 5000 words saying effectively nothing. Things he could have explained by just linking to pre-existing, better written articles, instead, he rehashes everything in a snarky tone while skipping over some of the most important points (like training through distillation).
Literally. Al lhe said was China made an LLM with less. The end.
If that was all he said, I would have no issue with that. But no, he spent 10,000 words padding that sentiment out with as much tripe and snark as he could.
I feel that. I got 1/3rd through it and was wondering how the hell he managed to write so much with so little.
