- tibbar 7mo agoI think OpenAI is more of an aesthetic. Very... Apple-like, polished, with an eye towards making really cool stuff. And aesthetics are a type of philosophy. This is less noble than how Anthropic presents themselves but still much more attractive to many than XAI.
- j_maffe 7mo ago> aesthetics are a type of philosophy. What philosophy is that?

- dbspin 7mo agoIt's literally called aesthetics, the philosophical approach is the original meaning of the word - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetics Properly, focusing on aesthetics as an ethic would be practicing the philosophy of aestheticism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aestheticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aestheticism
- tokioyoyo 7mo agoThe feeling on the street is that Anthropic IS the Apple of the AIs.
- energy123 7mo agoTo a researcher, the aesthetic is more like Bell Labs, with many research teams working with some autonomy, which is why the public naming of model releases appears chaotic. Very different to the top-down approach of Apple.
