It would be the fastest way to bootstrap a local hyperscaller, I mean, most of AWS is open source software with a HUGE integration to make it easy to administer.

Nobody is trying to get 7 TRILIONS of dollars investment on calculators being capable of doing any task, but OpenAI swears to god that any day soon their language model will became a general intelligence capable of doing all things, including math.

Here in Brazil criminals are starting to use those to send phishing SMS, exploiting our ubiquitous mobile payment system (pix) or pretending to be a second authentication factor for banks.

In my PhD I did study systems in higher dimensions (including fractal dimensions) and it is not a metaphor and no, I did not visualize them, it was more like defining a mathematical representation of the system geometry and working on top of it.

Come on, I've been doing this since I was like 4 years old, this can't be news for anyone, Am i right???

Yes, I didn’t think people would be so amazed by it either. Like it’s mind-blowing that this works or has been thought of. But we first did it once as well, some people just discover it late in life I guess (or not at all).

It's not a particle, it is a quasi-particle. Those are field manifestations that happen on solid state, like solitons and holes, so it is cool, but no fundamental change do the standard model or anything like that.
