Episode: Epi 95 British GP Review
Pub date: 2024-07-07

We were treated to a fantastic British GP that saw Hamilton get back on the top step of the podium after 56 races, which would make 2 yrs, and 7 months. Changeable conditions and thrilling race moves is always what Silverstone produces ! Gutted for Russell who had scored pole for Mercedes who were 1-2 in qualifying showing just how much speed and pace thier car has now acquired, but only to retired mid race with a suspected water pump issue. Another pretty miserable race for Ferrari especially on the Lecric garage. McLaren especially Norris were gutted not to get the win after a strong performance by them and Piastri. Strong drive from Max & RB !! 🎙️https://twitter.com/TF1podcast1?t=JGSaBuoW15_Mx45SNP9oUQ&s=08!

Podcast: GOOD INTERNET
Episode: Understanding the OpenAI-Chaos
Pub date: 2023-11-20

My latest posts for the german expert community platform Piqd, machine translated with ChatGPT and edited for some punch. This November, besides some stuff i already posted here, i wrote about the upheaval at OpenAI and it’s consequences, and the Bin Laden-letter which went not very viral on TikTok.

Understanding the Chaos at OpenAIOver the weekend, we witnessed a severe earthquake in the AI industry, and the consequences are still out.

The events unfolded as follows:

  • On Friday afternoon, the board of OpenAI orchestrated fired CEO Sam Altman in a company-wide coup led by Chief AI Researcher Ilya Sutskever. Mira Murati takes over Altman's position and co-founder Greg Brockman resigns in solidarity. Microsoft, the largest investor, was surprised by these events and informed only minutes before the announcement.
  • On Saturday, rumors circulated about the CEO's potential return and the board's resignation. Investors, employees, and managers within the company had rallied in support of Altman and Brockman. Altman demands a restructuring of the board and issues an ultimatum.
  • Negotiations break down, Twitch CEO Emmett Shear becomes the new interim CEO.
  • Microsoft hires Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for a new AI research team.

To make sense of the chaos involving some of the leading minds in the AI industry, one must first understand the corporate structure of OpenAI.

OpenAI Inc. was founded in 2015 as a non-profit with the goal of conducting AI research focused on safety and AI alignment "for the benefit of all humanity," free from profit motives and commercial interests. Concurrently, there is Open AI LLC, a company developing commercial applications. Microsoft, as the largest funder, is a minority owner of this commercial arm.

Sam Altman pretty much represents OpenAI's commercial arm, advocating for faster product development and commercial exploitation of the tech, especially after the global success of ChatGPT. In contrast, Ilya Sutskever expressed safety concerns and envisioned the development of General AI (AGI) which he expects to arrive soon. Within the company, two "tribes" emerged — one focused on commercial exploitation, the other adhering to the company’s original goal of safe AGI development aligned to human values. The coup resulted from an internal power struggle between these factions, and while it may superficially appear that the Safe-AGI faction won, the overall picture seems to be the opposite.

On one hand, the board's removal of Altman seems to strengthen its role in the safety-focused original company mission. On the other hand, the tumultuous events are likely to deter many investors and funders, jeopardizing the primary goal of AGI development. It is unknown whether OpenAI is already profitable or if the ongoing costs for servers and GPUs are eating up the substantial monthly revenue of $80 million, especially given the considerable user numbers. OpenAI, as a nonprofit, relies on investor funding, and its future is uncertain after the debacle.

Furthermore, Microsoft's hiring of Altman and Brockman indicates their continued aggressive expansion of AI technology, whether with products from OpenAI or its competitors. Microsoft right now integrates AI into all its products, from the Windows operating system to Office to Github Copilot. The market power behind Microsoft's AI endeavors is immense, especially with their Azure cloud computing platform, running OpenAI's products, experiencing a 29% revenue increase in the third quarter of 2023 alone.

Just before his ousting on Thursday, Altman announced new breakthroughs in AI development at the APEC CEO Summit, increasing pressure on the parts of the company prioritizing AI safety. With Altman now leading a new AI research team at Microsoft, who are also shareholders in OpenAI LLC, they are in a prime position, controlling not only OpenAI's cash flow as the largest investor but also having Altman and Brockman as charismatic leaders on board. This development is likely to further intensify the split within OpenAI.

On its surface, the apparent final removal of Sam Altman looks like a victory for the safe development of AI. In reality, Microsoft is the true winner of this coup, fueled by massive revenue from OpenAI's commercial arm, and they will significantly expand their AI development, whether with OpenAI products or a possible new open-source strategy, similar to Facebook/Meta. As a critic of open-source AI development, these developments make me raise an eyebrow or two.

For a good measure, here are movie recommendations for this drama: Knives Out and, of course, Game of Thrones. Automatic AI popcorn included.


Unviral Bin LadenPeople are consuming less and less news on social media, and the numbers of news consumption on major social media platforms are all showing a downward trend, with one notable exception: TikTok.

In just three years, the number of people watching news on the video platform has quadrupled. A year ago, I wrote about how TikTok had surpassed the former top viral source, Twitter, as the "Number 1 meme source." Viral news now happens on TikTok, making it crucial, especially for journalists, to accurately assess the virality of individual pieces of information on the platform.

Since yesterday, TikTok has been deleting videos under the hashtag #lettertoamerica, where TikTok users recontexualize a twenty-year-old letter from Osama Bin Laden concerning recent developments in Israel and Gaza. The New York Times reports a total of 14 million views for the hashtag, spread across 274 videos created before the viral backlash against the alleged internet phenomenon. This equates to approximately 51,094 views per video. While these numbers may seem high, they are minuscule compared to genuinely viral TikTok videos.

In a piece about the new vaporized internet and the White House's overreaction to an alleged imbalance between the use of pro-Palestine and pro-Israel hashtags on TikTok, Ryan Broderick describes the actual virality numbers on the platform. The most successful video in October had 37 million likes and 313 views. Keep in mind, this is for a single video. The hashtag #Halloween garnered 20 billion views within three months. Compared to such genuinely viral phenomena, 14 million views spread across 274 videos are peanuts.

In piece on Slate, Scott Nover rightly points out that it's not the videos themselves that went viral — but the backlash against them:

One prominent Twitter figure’s outraged post about the videos, which included a supercut of them, racked up 32 million views on X. Flipping through TV channels on Thursday, I noticed the story on several different news broadcasts—every anchor and reporter was disgusted and wanted to say so. The Biden administration even responded Thursday. “No one should ever insult the 2,977 American families still mourning loved ones by associating themselves with the vile words of Osama bin Laden,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates wrote on X while sharing the CNN article.

The bigger picture here is this: one of the causes of the outrage cascades in recent years has been major media outlets exploiting individual opinions on social media, especially conservative outlets like the Telegraph, reporting on stuff like three barely noticed tweets from leftist LGBTQ activists or some minority opinion by some campus unions, fuming the flames of a global backlash to social justice politics. There sure are some problems with identitarian leftwing politics, but media outlets exploiting them based on a few extreme tweets did not help.

The responsibility of journalism in the 21st century includes contextualizing and accompanying the dynamics and qualities of virality — or to even refrain from reporting on what a few isolated accounts on TwiX, or what a meager 274 videos on TikTok think. Not every stupid opinion on the internet needs to be amplified and made viral by the press, even though it is a guaranteed click machine because of its extreme and/or extremely foolish nature.

There is nothing more emotionally charged on the internet than being able to point the finger at the alleged multitude of stupid idiots, of which there are plenty, i can tell you that — with the absolute certainty that you ofcourse belong to the righteous, good and decent ones. The fools are always the other, and it is all too easy for editorial teams to pluck the absolutely unspeakable from the sheer sea of opinions and sell it as a phenomenon — such as the uninteresting TikTok chatter from a few kids who think that what a dead islamofascist terrorist says somehow fits well with the Gaza conflict.

Scott Nover succinctly concludes:

A small group of nobodies on TikTok saying dumb shit is not a viral trend that necessitates mass hysteria in response. This incident is only news because, well, it became news.

Episode: State Management in Elixir - EMx 137
Pub date: 2021-07-21

Shortcode:

The panel talks about how to manage state in Elixir applications. Sometimes you can get away with internal structures like gen servers and ETS and other times you have to reach to external systems like redis, mongodb, or postgreSQL.

This episode will walk you through the ins and outs of managing state and what your options are and what the tradeoffs are between those options.

Pub date: 2021-06-09

Chuck and Allen dive into how and where to deploy Elixir and Phoenix applications. They talk through the mostly done for you solutions like Gigalixir and Heroku down to deploying by script to server or VPS hosting like DigitalOcean all the way to building containers and deploying to Kubernetes setups like AWS or DigitalOcean's cloud setup. There are a lot of great options and many of them depend on how much of the work you want to do and how much learning curve you want to take on. Allen and Chuck discuss the tradeoffs of each choice in those regards.

Podcast: Fire Drill (LS 51 ¡ TOP 0.5% what is this?)
Episode: How I Transitioned My Career into Tech with a Coding Bootcamp | Caitlyn
Pub date: 2019-11-27

One of the best ways to increase your income is to do a career transition

Caitlyn changed from sales in the beer industry to working as a software engineer. After an intense 6 months completing a coding bootcamp, she was able to find a higher paying job as a software engineer with a better work life balance and pretty much everything she was looking for in a job.

You'll love that story.

Caitlyn on Twitter Hackerank

Key takeaways from our chat with Caitlyn 1 - The first step to a career switch Caitlyn was working in the beer industry in sales, but wanted to work in tech. Her first step was researching bootcamps online and picking a bootcamp with good reviews and that wasn't too expensive. She completed her bootcamp online since she didn't have the patience or time to go back to school, and didn't get into debt to pay for the course. 2 - How she found a job immediately after finishing the bootcamp Her bootcamp was 6 months long. She started networking for jobs at the 4 month mark, and says this is what allowed her to find a job at the perfect timing. During her job search she researched different companies, did many interviews and used the skills she acquired working in sales to set her apart from other candidates. The personal connection she got from networking meant she was more likely to be considered for a job position. 3 - Are bootcamps worth it? Caitlyn believes bootcamps are a great option. They cost a fraction of what a college degree costs, allow you to work remotely and provide you with many more opportunities. Caitlyn used Twitter to connect with other tech people and commit herself to the challenge of learning how to code - she made a lot of friends and it helped her transition career. It's important to network as well as complete the bootcamp - if that's what you do, then a coding bootcamp is very much worth it. Questions? Like or dislike? Leave us a comment!

Podcast: Disrupting Japan: Startups and Innovation in Japan (LS 40 ¡ TOP 2% what is this?)
Episode: An Inside Look at Japan’s Curious Coding Bootcamps
Pub date: 2019-01-21

The developed world is facing a severe programmer shortage. Around the world, coding boot camps have stepped into this gap to teach newcomers basic programming skills quickly.

But in like so many other areas, Japan is different.

Coding boot camps have been slow to take off here, and programmers are taught by a patchwork of academic degrees, on the job training, and informal meetups and study sessions.

Kani Munidasa, the co-founder of Code Chrysalis, is changing that. He's started one of the first Western-style coding boot camps in Japan, and the ecosystem is already seeing the results. Code Chrysalis has an amazing placement rate with grads receiving above-average starting salaries, but there is something more going on here as well.

Kani and I talk about how the job market for programmers is changing in Japan and, more important perhaps, how their place in society is changing as well.

It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs.

I’m Tim Romero and thanks for joining me.

One of the most important developments in Japan over the past 10 years and perhaps, the most important way that things are different for startups today than they were 20 years ago is the existence of a startup ecosystem. Now, let me explain that because it’s not obvious, especially to younger entrepreneurs who have never had to run a startup the absence of a startup ecosystem.

A startup ecosystem is not just a group of startups that operate in the same city. We had that during the dotcom era. There were even VC investments, occasional meet ups, and some mentoring, but we didn’t really have an ecosystem back then. We had a community for sure, but not that ecosystem.

An ecosystem comes into being when startups start buying from and selling it to each other. When startups can target other startups with their innovative products, where our pool of employees move from startup to startup, taking their ideas and best practices, and work ethic with them. When an ecosystem developed, it’s an amazing cross-pollination of innovation and growth that is just awesome to be a part of. This is happening in Japan. It’s a relatively new and it’s fantastic.

Today, I’d like you to meet Kani Munidasa, co-founder of Code Chrysalis, a startup that can only exist within a healthy startup ecosystem but also one that any healthy startup ecosystem needs in order to grow. Code Chrysalis is a coding boot camp where over 12 weeks, students learn of the skills they need to get jobs as programmers in Tokyo and as you will soon see, they are really getting jobs.

In fact, after our conversation, there is something I want to ask you and I mean you, personally because it’s something that you might understand better than I do. I would ask you right now, but the question won’t really make a lot of sense until after you sit in on the conversation with me and Kani, and we cover a lot of ground.

We talk about how to get a programming job in Tokyo, how to ramp up skills quickly, and why diversity in programming might not mean what you think it does. But you know,

Episode: 762 4 Tips To Help You Succeed In Coding Bootcamps - Simple Programmer Podcast
Pub date: 2019-07-24

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt

Many bootcamps claim or imply that you can become a professional developer in three weeks, 12 weeks, or perhaps six months when you take their courses. But most of these 90%+ job placement claims are largely unaudited. After years of helping students get through coding bootcamps, I know exactly their biggest mistakes. You can expect to join a coding bootcamp and leave as a full programmer. You need to put in the work. You need to put in the practice. And this is where most aspiring developers fail. Things, like holding yourself accountable, learning effectively and joining a peer group, are things that can help you in succeeding at a coding bootcamp. If you really want to make the most out of your money after joining a coding bootcamp, then, this is the perfect video for you. I'll give you my 4 best tips after years of helping students succeed and become great programmers after joining a coding bootcamp.
