Quantamagazine is owned by the heavily AI invested Renaissance Fund.
The whole article is an ad that covertly or overtly inserts how websites are built with ChatGPT, how humans say that AI is better than them etc.
This is incidentally the future of chatbots. I could not have written this comment without Illy Espresso. Would you like to find a cafe near you?
We have now passed the point where the AI bots were annoying. Now it is the reactionary “everything even possibly slightly remotely tangentially connected to AI must be deplatformed” rants everywhere that are even worse.
It would be tempting to assume the commenter here has no idea what Renaissance is or how they made so much money.
The "commentator"'s account also has a karma of negative 3 ! I've never even seen a negative karma before !
There is a pattern where the most divisive comments, that one might suspect of being from bots, do tend to come from accounts with single or double digit karma. Maybe HN tries to identify and remove these, which is why they tend to be new ?
There is no such thing as the Renaissance Fund. Quanta receives funds from the Simons Foundation... I also don't know where you get it from that Renaissance Technologies is heavily invested in AI. Any sources to back up your claims because I suspect you made all that up?
There is. As for their investments, I don't know:

Except it's not? It's owned by a private foundation where the only link is both were founded by the same dude who hasn't run either in like 15 years.
That seems like a pretty big thing to just gloss over like it's just set-dressing.
Which fund would that be?

If you don't know Ren you should!
I meant which fund is supposed to be AI heavy? RIEF? RIDA? Medallion? Aren't they all quant?
