Hawthorn’s offer was the equivalent of Richmond nuffs who’d call in to SEN circa 2005 or so and seriously suggest trading Ray Hall, Ben Nason and Mark Dragacevic to West Coast for Chris Judd

Articles like this drive me insane. The amount of tokens being used is going up because they explicitly made it so that models use more tokens. This is the tech section of a globally-renown newspaper and it's an argument that's unmoored from reality or meaning.

“Over the last few months, we’ve begun to see glimpses of our AI systems improving themselves,” Meta Platforms Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in July on the social-media giant’s second-quarter earnings call.

All of that should make AI models more efficient, which could have a beneficial effect on the economics of AI.

Second, data centers under construction around the world will soon begin operations, increasing the supply of computing power and energy and driving down the cost of training and using AI. Tech company Microsoft last month said it is in the final stages of construction on a $3.3 billion data center in Wisconsin and announced plans for a second, $4 billion facility in the area.

And third, increasing demand for tokens could finally become an economic benefit as models improve and the supply of computing infrastructure expands.

Another massive increase in demand for AI is likely in the coming months or quarters, just as those other forces take hold, according to Terry. That’s because the most promising corporate AI trials are likely to move into broader deployment.

Friendly reminder folks; never, ever, ever, ever take a sick or injured person anywhere near Werribee “Mercy”Hospital Emergency Dept. They couldn’t treat a fat kid to an ice cream cake, let alone a human being in physical distress or trauma.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The editor who published this also should have spiked the copy with extreme prejudice, and messaged the writer: “unless you are 8 years old & just received a Spotify sub as a gift, punch yourself in the head with a boxing glove filled with shellac until the white shit comes out of your ears.”

Wild to me this guy can spend months drumming up a panic about protest movements and 'universities, the public broadcasters and the public service' being antisemitic hotbeds, then as soon as it's all shown to be utter horsehit and he was wrong all along just glide along without a moment's reflection

Morry Frenkel speaks with Chip Le Grand, Chief Reporter for The Age newspaper, about the articles he has written since the recent arson attack on the East Melbourne Synagogue, the storming of the Israeli restaurant, Miznon, and the arson and graffiti attacks in Greensborough.

Chip talks about the implications of these events – and the rise in antisemitism in general – on the local Jewish and non-Jewish communities, and the need for Victoria Police to uphold the law. He is also critical of the campaign against Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal and her report, Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism, a policy-oriented framework for government and the Australian community. Chip argues that the strength of the report lies more in its findings of where the problems lie: in universities, the public broadcasters and the public service.
