Yes - persons with death wishes having arbitrarily powerful consultation is the crux of it. Apologies for the bad example. Replace w/ gain of function / whatever else, or just brainstorm with your local model, ect.

A const prompt across all of Anthropic's subscribers could draw from a global cache rather than per-user? Although saying that out loud makes me question it - each per-user chat and growing cache would need eventually to own its own ~c

Great respect to site guidelines, and to you. Object on both counts. 1. The post was obviously bullish / optimistic on the technical capabilities. Not in the least dismissive. 2. The economics extrapolation is obvious. See current prec

Any minute: wear it permanently to sell training data on LLMs. Take an audited IQ test to negotiate your rate. Better than text-stripping the internet - this thing will soon be pulling the logits as well.

Very interested in this! Can you share more about the modelling method (eg, three js?), the task list, and outputs here? I think there's probably some good juice to squeeze in terms of spacial awareness by doing a benchmark something l

Long ago a friend of a friend described a job interview at an ice cream / chocolate shop in a local mall. The interviewer asked something like "who is our competition here?", and the friend of friend listed off other places i

This is a credentials and access list oAuth style problem, and not really intractable. For package X , I should be able to present my npm (homebrew, apt, nuget, etc) credentials with publishing rights for the package. If package X is of

I think that as simple as is doing a lot of work when the problem domain is all natural language (or more - all strings?) rather than some well specified DSA problem.

People may perceive you to be cheaply mischaracterizing the argument. Nobody believed or suggested that GPT2 could do longform or produce novel text that stood up against careful scrutiny as insightful or well informed. But because the capa

At that time, nobody believed a dead internet was technically feasible. Maybe this is hard to remember now. The "danger" was in terms of spam / misinformation proliferation, not the same category of capabilities adjacent risk

I find this line of reasoning highly dubious. Yes, Anthropic is compute constrained, even after the SpaceX Colossus deal. But supply constraints are the normal operating mode of any market. Anthropic could choose to serve whatever models it
