I don't know what Sun's strategy was in the 2000s, but doing all of the R&D to develop exotic new hardware and then focusing the sales force on software seems like they're getting the worst of both worlds.

I think the point he's actually making is that if we start training AIs or designing AIs as if they're conscious, we might be more likely to create future AIs that are either very good at persuading people that they are conscious

Yes, but then we collapse two different groups with isolated influences and philosophies into one group, with the associated penchant for groupthink. I'm beginning to believe that, in our hyperconnected world, the best way for a group

Some hot water radiator systems use wax actuated valves made from brass (Taco brand is common). They are extremely simple and robust.

This is about chats, not calls though - you can look at the context and make the same determination. Even for calls, "hey, do you have a sec to help me troubleshoot the CDN setup?" is way better than "hello," followed by

How are you determining how much oomph Claude gives a particular question? When I ask Claude Chat to e.g. summarize a document, it does this and returns a summary inline, whereas cowork does a bunch of tool calls and intermediate steps, eve

The article contends that evaluations from Irregular helped prompt these incidents, because the prompts in the evals didn't tightly scope the systems to be evaluated or the methods to be used. It also contends that the faulty sandbox o

Banking on public sentiment to reduce adoption of a profitable technology could be dangerous. There's also a lot of hate for fossil fuels, gambling, health insurance, etc.

I disagree. Even if models remained fixed at Fable 5 capability (which they won't in a pacing scenario), improvements in cost, reliability, and product/workflow integration can still realize massive value and justify AI labs'

Keeping billions of humans healthy, happy, and safe is complicated. Best to begin by reducing the scale of the problem. First, automate the economy and change the information ecosystem so that humans spend more and more time happily isolate

I've got to ask, let's say we get a small modular nuclear reactor running practically on a 1 acre lot, its design meltdown proof and waste-free, what then should we fear from this threat ? This is just a thought experiment. Joke

This is a cool project, and the idea of using LLMs to selectively extract features from open source projects is an interesting concept. The only thing I take issue with is the phrase "LiteLLM Without the Bloat." A lot of the featu

Matt has made like hundreds of bizarre decisions over the last few years. The WPEngine drama is a big part of it, but he's also been odd with Automattic's purchase and handling of Tumblr and other topics.

I think this is secondary to a widespread loss of confidence in our nation's political and foreign policy apparatus to do what's right for the average American. "Working for the military is evil" descends from a post-Vie

it just sucks to see someone who helped popularize something so many people care about change (at least publicly) for the worse.

Exciting to finally see glimmers of Meta's vision for its massive LLM investment. It's not a bad product idea, but adoption might be rough because of all the negative goodwill that Meta has accumulated over the years. Also, I woul

If you're ever in Denmark, go visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art! It's a really fantastic collection (including the Kusama room), but also a beautiful building and a really nice place to walk around in.
