This looks potentially interesting (though none of us has as yet read it).
@sama The paper discusses the growing challenges of the "memory wall" problem, where the speed of memory and communication is not keeping up with the exponential growth in compute power. This is becoming a major bottleneck for training and serving large AI models, particularly in the

Not directly AI-related but relevant to its ecosystem. MSM bake in narratives before adding all the ingredients--like the most populous state in the country!.

Just learned for the first time about this Princeton response to the infamously crummy MSFT puffpiece, "Sparks of AGI." . Haven't read it yet but the title alone is well worth the price of admission. Embers indeed!.

I'll go further and say that @Adobe (which I use primarily for marking up pdfs) is in full-on enshittified. It's aggressive preference for its own cloud platform is invasive (I struggle to save work to my hard drive.) .And the AI button gets in the way of EVERYTHING. 🦹.
Personal rant but I’m still bummed that Adobe decided to turn away their backs on the artists and creatives it relied upon to go full throttle on GenAi, a tech that is intent on replacing us. It’s also wild to me Adobe is not even offering a version without any GenAi at all.

None of us as read this one yet, but we really enjoyed Chayka's work on ChatGPT4o which was cited in the introduction to the latest issue.
"The main people benefitting from the launch of A.I. tools so far are not everyday Internet users (. ) but those who are producing the cheap, attention-grabbing A.I.-generated content that is monetizable on social platforms.". #AIEthics.
