Then you overpaid a year ago. A 2x16GB DDR5 kit was around $90 a year ago and is over $400 today.

When people write blog posts about how LLMs failed for some particular task, the responses from boosters invariably fall along the lines of "just use this other model/just tweak your prompt like so/you're just not skilled enough—you can't make fundamental arguments about AI by citing specific examples."

So we can't make arguments by citing specific examples, and also can't make arguments by not citing specific examples. Whelp, I guess that's the ball game.

Oh, I wonder what could possibly happen based on the results of the initial review. Let's see:

> District staff sent out a list of questions teachers have to answer, like — does a book encourage students to believe that people are racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously? [...] If teachers answer “yes” or “unsure” to any of the questions in the district’s guidance, the book is to be removed from the classroom for further review.

Gee, would ya look at that

Until today, the Senate bill also hadn't seen any progress in over a year: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623

Now that the Senate's passed it, I think there'll be enough momentum for the House to take it up relatively soon.
