Nothing is infinitely valuable.
- windexh8er 4mo agoEspecially when you can actively choose to not use Anthropic. They think they have a moat from all of the IP they've stolen. Just wait until there's nothing more to steal and the laws eventually turn against them. And let's be honest about these companies. It is very much Dario and Sam and Sundar and Mark and Peter and Elon and... These are the choices they are making and hopefully they are held accountable both legally and within society as a whole.
- SauntSolaire 4mo agoI don't think you understand the hypothetical being discussed
- windexh8er 4mo agoYou're confusing 'didn't understand it' with 'didn't buy it.' Only one of those is a comprehension issue, and it's not mine.
- pixl97 4mo agoNo, you pretty obviously didn't understand it, at least in the sense of ASI being talked about. The whole "oh don't buy it" stops mattering. Humans are no longer the sole creators of information and intelligence. That is AI no longer has to steal, but humans will have to beg, borrow, or steal the information/products that ASI creates.
- platinumrad 4mo agoThat's not going to happen.
- windexh8er 4mo agoI didn't say "buy" anything. You've clearly bought into the narrative that ASI is even remotely possible with current architectures. You've chosen to ignore all of the lies that have thus far failed to come to fruition. The assumption is an insane leap from models in a loop that have no intelligence to models taking over the "sole creators of information and intelligence". Anthropic marketing is doing a phenomenal job for a large portion of those in the bubble.

- HoldOnAMinute 4mo ago10 engineers can make a billion dollar company. One Claude can replace 10 engineers. This gets very close to "infinitely valuable", it starts to look like a vertical line to me
- dakolli 4mo agoThere's literally no indication that this is the case, or will ever be. Unless you're a completely naive person who's impressed with all output of an LLM because you don't know what you're talking about. These models aren't impressive, and the people who think they are impressive are even less impressive.
- platinumrad 4mo agoThe is a large middle ground between "aren't impressive" and "Claude can spit out billion dollar companies on demand".
- knollimar 4mo agoA dog talking is impressive but you can't build a SaaS around it as if it's a genius. The dog's words aren't the impressive part here
- platinumrad 4mo agoI don't think one Claude can replace ten engineers of the caliber it takes to build a billion dollar company. I also don't think that every set of ten engineers of that level builds a billion dollar company every time. There is also a limit to the number of billion dollar companies that can be built before being a "billion dollar company" no longer means much (see: Zimbabwe).
- zarzavat 4mo agoThat assumes a world where nobody else has AI. There's a night and day difference between: 1. One party has ASI and everybody else has nothing but their human brains. 2. One party has ASI and everybody else has high-level AI but not quite ASI. Most science fiction assumes world 1, because it's a better narrative. However, we actually live in world 2.
- somesortofthing 4mo agoA market with only a single good makes that good infinitely valuable for exchange purposes. No trade can happen - everyone is just sitting on a big pile of the only thing that matters and they can only trade it for less of the only thing that matters.
