"Wong’s own pay package, meanwhile, will rise from S$2.2mn (US$1.7mn) to S$3.6mn (US$2.8mn) a year, including salary and bonuses. He said he would donate the increased pay to charity for the next five years, assuming he stays in office."
I have been having some fun lately with some extra tokens from my work, experimenting with setting it loose on replicating software.
The results have been pretty surprisingly good. There’s a lot of functionality missing on first use, but I think if I let it churn through a few million more tokens it could get close.
I would be very concerned if I were a MS, SaaS or Adobe about what’s to come in the near future.
It's one thing that this happens. It's a whole other that there is a public story about this.
Having worked at a large tech company for a long time, there are very strict controls in place to ensure what is published (even under personal employee accounts), and Meta employees are some of the most tight lipped people I have come across.
If I were take a stab at reading between the lines, I would say Meta is trying their best to FUD their AI competitors... probably because they are so so far behind.
Agreed.. and it has an incredibly frustrating and hostile UX.
I've been sharing my screen in work in meetings and suddenly screen nagged, and then I'm struggling to find the dumb buttons under the monitor and confused which button does what to make it go away.
I would rather suffer burn in than be nagged. I've had other brand OLEDs that haven't been this annoying, so I'll never buy an Asus monitor again.
AOC/Agon OLEDs also have the annoying nag that fires repeatedly to say "Your monitor will go into pixel cleaning mode in 10/5/4/3/2/1 minutes". I still haven't figured out how to easily defer that, and it's super annoying when in the middle of a Rocket League match that the monitor just turns itself off to pixel clean for 10 minutes.
