claiming to have customers you don't actually have so vocally that they have to sue you to get their names out of your mouth should be a death knell on its own, but the whole "pretending their already-expired three-month trial contract is still in effect for the full year" is a great way to find yourself pulling a Sam Bankman-Fried, except that you don't have a side company to pull $$$ from to cover your tracks

random guess, but: "11x” is the name of the company, that's not "eleven times"

some video-shaped AI slop mysteriously appears in the place where marketing for Ark: Survival Evolved's upcoming Aquatica DLC would otherwise be at GDC, to wide community backlash. Nathan Grayson reports on aftermath.site about how everyone who could be responsible for this decision is pointing fingers away from themselves

it's the same playbook, to be sure

it's cool that you discovered a word that lets you call Asahi Lina unnecessarily dramatic and attention-seeking in a way that lets you believe you "never gave an oppinion on the matter" and that you're just neutrally observing a scientifically studied phenomenon!

wait no "cool" isn't the right word now is it

women do not owe you the details about why they leave a community and if you/the community as a whole feel entitled to the answer, then you have the fucking answer

i've heard it said before from people better at wording it than i am, but seeing this: it's crystalizing for me that people really do see "a trans woman" as "a woman i'm still allowed to abuse". i can call her mannish, i can tell everyone she's making it all up, i can call her hysterical and dramatic, i can freely speculate on her mental state to the approval of my peers, and no matter what she does -- leave loudly, leave quietly, stay and suffer the torment -- it will always be her fault and she will always be doing it wrong

i can admit it's possible i'm being overly cynical here and it is just sloppy journalism on Raffaele Huang/his editor/the WSJ's part. but i still think that it's a little suspect on the grounds that we have no idea how many times they had to restart training due to the model borking, other experiments and hidden costs, even before things like the necessary capex (which goes unmentioned in the original paper -- though they note using a 2048-GPU cluster of H800's that would put them down around $40m). i'm thinking in the mode of "the whitepaper exists to serve the company's bottom line"

btw announcing my new V7 model that i trained for the $0.26 i found on the street just to watch the stock markets burn

That's the opposite of what I'm saying. Deepseek is the one under scrutiny, yet they are the only one to publish source code and training procedures of their model.

this has absolutely fuck all to do with anything i've said in the slightest, but i guess you gotta toss in the talking points somewhere

e: it's also trivially disprovable, but i don't care if it's actually true, i only care about headlines negative about AI
