- skybrian 7mo agoYour cynicism doesn't prove that it's fake, though.
- nothinkjustai 7mo agoJust like their marketing campaign doesn’t mean those claims are real?
- skybrian 6mo agoI mean sure, they could be lying. It seems like a rather elaborate lie, though, considering that they got several other major companies to go along with it.
- davebren 6mo agoYou've got to admit that crying wolf about how dangerous their new model is for the hundredth time right when the biggest story about the company was a leak that made them and their internal vibe-coding look totally incompetent is a bit suspect.
- skybrian 6mo agoYour cynicism doesn't prove that it's fake, though.
- davebren 6mo agoYou got the causality backwards, the cynicism is because it's most likely to be fake.
- skybrian 6mo agoA lesson of the parable about "crying wolf" is that cynicism based on previous events doesn't prove that the next event is fake. The people who ignored the warning may have thought it "most likely," but they were wrong.
- nothinkjustai 6mo agoNever use previous actions to predict future actions, genius advice.
- skybrian 6mo agoIt’s more about when your priors are so strong that it’s not worth paying attention to a new report. Clearly not in this case.
- davebren 6mo agoThe point of the parable is not about the problem of induction but about how lying erodes trust.
- tokioyoyo 7mo agoIf it’s all marketing gimmick, then all companies that have collaborated to patch their bugs are collectively lying. If that’s the case, and they can get both OSS maintainers and the ones are on payrolls of Microsoft et al. to lie… hats off to them honestly, they deserve all the marketing exposure.
