Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati just launched Tinker, a new service from Thinking Machines Lab.
Tinker strips AI training down to 4 simple functions — you focus on data + algorithms, it handles the GPU chaos.
Is this the Kubernetes moment for AI training?

Case study of anti-marketing in the A.I. Age: The "summaries" that google puts at the top of most searches are such trash that you probably haven't noticed that the "AI Mode" you get clicking on this button is astonishingly good: whenever I ask "I read a paper that came to such and such a conclusion" it gives me that paper within the first three results.
Opted for zfs for an external drive. Minor annoyance (it was not designed for removable drives).
But after all that I asked ChatGPT to summarize my life with FreeBSD
Ed Zitron's latest post stating the case against generative Ai is worth every minute it takes to read it.
It's big.
You may need to digest it in chunks.
So far, though, I haven't been able to look away from it.
A small sample:
"Every CEO talking about AI replacing workers is an example of the real problem: that most companies are run by people who don’t understand or experience the problems they’re solving, don’t do any real work, don’t face any real problems, and thus can never be trusted to solve them. The Era of the Business Idiot is the result of letting management consultants and neoliberal “free market” sociopaths take over everything, leaving us with companies run by people who don’t know how the companies make money, just that they must always make more." -Ed Zitron
