You say this, but it's likely a lie. Maybe not for you, but for every N people like you that say it, a high percentage of them are lying. There's research on people's preference for AI generated content over human content whe

DeepSeek v4 flash blew the doors off that fantasy. Even if we switched to tokenomics, models are getting good enough and cheap enough that there's no stopping this train.

I think this is a reasonable position, I prefer when people separate their words from their agent's words clearly, but I don't have a problem with reading stuff other people's agents wrote if the input to the writing was real

Would you prefer a 10k word discussion with an agent about a hypothesis with back and forth over data sources and such, analysis, etc, or a 2000 word AI essay condensate with the rough edges smoothed over manually?

You realize that when people aren't told an image or text is AI generated, on average they prefer it to human created content, and it's only when they know it's AI that they rate it lower than the human content? You shouldn&#

By definition watermarking narrows and biases the response distribution. Clever algorithms might reduce the perceptual impact and minimize some cherry picked metrics, but it's still worse.

If the challenge is held constant, giving people tools is just teaching a different skill set than teaching them unaugmented. The augmented skill set is more relevant to how people do work in the real world, but working through things unaug

If you're working for someone else, this is true. For people who are building for themselves, it's 100% leadership because managers don't decide what to build or how (at healthy organizations, anyhow)

Qwen small models are heavily coding focused, whereas Opus is everything to everybody (even if code is their bread and butter). The downside is they'll frequently hallucinate world knowledge so they need to be RL'd to double check

Model output is pretty mid at augmenting, it can lead to distribution collapse. It's useful for smaller models because nobody wants manually to curate a specialized corpus and those models can't represent the diversity anyhow, but

How to structure experiments/scaling and hyperparameter tuning regimes are most of the secret sauce (besides massive compute). If you don't create an experimental ladder to verify scaling and optimize your hyperparameters well, yo

Small models can be super smart. Big models mostly give you baked in world knowledge, domain flexibility and long context stability/coherence. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Fable level smarts in a coding model that fits in 24G

These results look pretty good, given the smaller model size and the GLM family's historic robustness. Cheaper than Kimi and more robust than DeepSeek. The question in my mind is if you're going cheap, are you going to stop here o

The watermarking is going to get rolled back or Anthropic is going to get rolled. People hate it and it makes the writing worse.

I love lisp, but I don't think the syntax is ideal for LLMs because they generate left to right, and lisp is deeply nested by design. Functional languages that have pipe operators and other features to keep code reading left to right,

Ironically, AI mitigates bad developers quite a bit. The architecture/design is coming from above bad devs (in a functional org), and AI tends to write less sloppy code than bad devs, and test/validate it more rigorously.
