So evidently, people either can’t tell when AI is being used or don’t care when AI is being used.

Trump says he’s going to tariff Canada to punish them for being on fire. So they’re doing something to help.

And if this sort of font became common (and actually kept working) then screen readers never would be able to read these. The point remains that accessibility is being sacrificed for the sake of some kind of general “anti-AI” movement.

Good luck to the visually impaired and their screen readers.

There’s information about Moonshot’s funding on its Wikipedia article. They haven’t IPOed, they’ve received about two billion in investment from various investment firms and other big companies.

Looks like China’s gone from being 6 months “behind” to more like 6 weeks “behind.”

Kind of pricey, but still the cheapest in its weight class. Could be they’re simply squeezing what profits they can out of it. I read that they’re planning to open the weights in August, at which point third parties will be able to compete based on whatever the actual cost of running it is.

And I said comparisons can be made.

If those cloud models are getting comparable results but using way more electricity, why would companies be running them? They like making profit, don’t they? They’re not some kind of Captain Planet villains chortling at being maximally wasteful.

Comparisons can be made using open AI models. I run some locally on my own hardware, I know exactly how much energy they use.

The energy consumption can be measured, very approximately, by the cost of the tokens. If you design agentic tools to make use of fewer, cheaper tokens then you’re likely also minimizing the energy usage.
