Gmail is free. It would still be incredibly bad for Gmail to start publishing the content of free users' emails to Google search. But also, Anthropic has said that this new policy also applies to their Pro ($20/mo) and Max ($200&#

Its incredible to me how seriously people can hold an opinion they've so clearly critically interrogated so little.

I should have provided a direct quote: > At first, he answered, no, we would be profitable, if not for training new models. Essentially, if you take away all the stuff, all the money we’re spending on building new models and just look at

OpenAI and Anthropic have very different customer bases and usage profiles. I'd estimate a significantly higher percentage of Anthropic's tokens are paid by the customer than OpenAI's. The ChatGPT free tier is magnitudes more

From the latest NYT Hard Fork podcast [1]. The hosts were invited to a dinner hosted by Sam, where Sam said "we're profitable if we remove training from the equation", they report he turned to Lightcap (COO) and asked "r

The idea that these things cause “minimal” environmental harm is utterly laughable. It’s Orwell-level doublespeak. Am I seriously to believe that Musk wants to run 50M H100 in the coming years, an amount that might equate to 60GW of power d

I disagree with a lot of the assertions the article makes. IME: LLMs don't "thrive" in messy open-ended spaces. They handle spaces like that better than traditional code, and traditional code handles structured spaces a lot b

Feedback submitted. It takes five minutes; everyone please go through it and tell Google directly how idiotic of a decision this is.

No, I hate this change from Google, and everyone involved with it should be ashamed of themselves, but Stallman is an extremest and I don't believe his world would be better than this one. There's genuine need for application deve

Personally: the idea that a "slippery slope" is a logical fallacy has always seemed like bulllshit to me. The vast majority of reasoning for why the judiciary makes the decisions it does is because of "precedent". Slippe

The first example of buying an Apple Watch on a fake walmart site feels extremely disingenuous to me. Their marketing screenshot says that their query was "buy me an apple watch on walmart", implying that the AI navigated to the s

Sure; I would enjoy talking about these confounding factors, on the tennis court after a round. My point is that it seems like the only people who bring up trivia like "maybe tennis isn't as good for you as you think it is becau

In less than a year when A16z is finished with the few, pointless experiments they want to run on this and it is relegated to a closet forgotten, some poor founder is going to see it appear as part of their term sheet. "Oh, yes, $75,00

Its mentality. When told "Tennis is likely to have amazing health benefits", you could respond by saying "Sick, I'll integrate more tennis or sports like it into my life". In fact, one might not respond at all, and

I have a friend who, when you bring up exercise in any capacity, how good it is for you, anything about it, even if its just how I did it, he has to find some way to twist it so it can't be good. This thread is so reminiscent of co

I think our end-state decision, IIRC, was to just expand our usage of TypeScript; which also has Golang beat on all those verticals you list. More mature, way better tooling, way more libraries, easier to hire for, etc. Though, thinking bac

I deeply, seriously, believe that you should have written the words "Its super confusing", meditated on that for a minute, then left it at that. It is super confusing. That's it. Nothing else matters. I understand why it is

Recently I was in a meeting where we were considering adopting Go more widely for our backend services, but a couple of the architect level guys brought up the two-types-of-nil issue and ultimately shot it down. I feel like they were being

Why is it always that the companies who seem the "furthest ahead" in adopting AI into their engineering workflows are also the ones building the most simple, boring products? Also, why is it always the CEOs on these podcasts talki

Yeah its important to decompose those two sources (among others) of "money printing". The obvious one people think most about is when our federal government does it. But a more concerning one is: Enforced banking reserve ratios. I

Tbh: I think git is not the century-tool that a lot of people think it is, and we're in an era now where its decreasingly serving the needs of its users. I'm ready for deeper ground-up innovation in the space of code collaboration

Its worth being clear that it isn't capable of actually executing TypeScript; it executes the "non-emitting" subset of the TypeScript language. If your app uses `enum`, among a couple other features, it wont work.

I simply disagree on that specific definition of ASI. Sure, what we're both describing is a system that is able to self-improve at a rapid rate. But, what does "improve" mean? Is an AI which is able to rapidly self-improve on

Again, this doesn't require intelligence, beyond a point. Breakthrough medical therapies aren't invented by 180 IQ Einsteinian hyper-intellectuals. My point in being pedantic about this is to just point out that an extreme amount

The issue is, what you're describing actually doesn't require intelligence, beyond a point. A mathematician who can solve the Reimann hypothesis isn't likely to be all that good of an L8 AWS Engineer; but what AWS would pay a

That's probably true for the time being, though I'd consider that a simple miscalculation on their part than the grand expression of market dynamics that I asserted. They're course-correcting on this and are planning to add m

GPT-5 is a product that represents the needs of its users. They have 700M weekly active users, the vast majority of which just want a better google, therapist, life coach, or programming mate; not some superintelligent being that can solve

I'm also curious about an attack vector whereby if a coin has a single reasonably well-installed mining software stack, this effectively gives the developers of that stack control over any miner, which could easily add up to 51% if the

Not by any traditionally-recognized definition, but I'll certainly admit them into the club once they go public.

I explicitly said "big tech companies"; that's FAANG, which does not include OpenAI, Anthropic, Anysphere, or their kin.
