AI training data has become a booming industry, with startups like Mercor and Surge AI racing to supply the human labor needed to teach models. Mercor, founded by 22-year-olds, is now valued at $10 billion. The article explores the shift from simple data labeling to complex grading rubrics, the immense scale of spending (over $10 billion annually), and the challenges of making AI truly useful beyond narrow domains.
Cyoda-go is a Go-based Entity Database Management System (EDBMS) that runs in-memory, with SQLite, or PostgreSQL. It provides entity management, workflow engine, search, transactions, and multi-tenancy for high-consistency enterprise domains like financial ledgers and order management.
Large language models (LLMs) are next-token predictors, not thinkers. Through careful engineering—prompting, RAG, tool use, and temperature tuning—they can solve complex tasks like text-to-SQL, coding, and drug discovery. This article explains how constraints guide token prediction, the stateless nature of LLMs, API integration, and RAG architecture.
Sam Altman and other AI leaders are shifting their narrative from job replacement to job augmentation, as public opinion turns against AI and politicians threaten regulation or nationalization. The article explores the motivations behind this pivot, including competitive dynamics between OpenAI and Anthropic, and examines the arguments that AI will create new tasks and demand for human labor.
A reflection on how AI and automation may de-skill human minds, leading to loss of confidence and intuition while increasing productivity. The article considers the cost of outsourcing thinking, referencing Orwell, and questions whether advancing technology truly serves humanity's benevolence.
This is a technical reference for engineers and researchers detailing how Outcry, an activist AI, is built. It uses four conditioning layers on a quantized small base model to fit on older phones. The layers include a frozen base, adapter, steering, and soft prompt. The exact base model is proprietary.
