During periods of market exuberance, it’s in the vendors interest not to reveal where exactly x+1 is. At the moment, everyone just guesstimates the company’s TAM. Bringing certainty to that guesstimate cuts Anthropic off from the most exube

It’s definitely an outlandish statement to make. There’s 200-400mn companies in the world on a conservative estimate. I assume the poster means something like “all listed companies”.

If you run a static analysis tool across a repo that didn’t previously do that, you’ll see that while what you say might be true, there’s going to be an absolute treasure-trove of issues caught by the static analyser.

The last/marginal ticket in the venue sells for 10x face value. The majority of tickets don’t sell for much more than face value. Taylor Swift can’t realistically play more shows than she did during the Eras Tour, and it’s unlikely tha

He posts about his use of language models a lot on Mastodon[0]. He does lots with language models, but doesn't buy all the way into the hype. I'd say he's one of. most reasonable & balanced voices on the subject of AI use

Productivity is a value measured in dollars. So if you’re 10x more productive, someone somewhere is making 10x the $ value from your output. You should expect this to be reflected in the labour market somewhere. Maybe not your own salary, b

You’re describing output while the essay is discussing productivity. If you’re 10x more productive, someone is willing to pay you 10x as much as they were last year, because you’re producing 10x as much value as before. Has your salary incr

Seems to me like ticketing is a really simple proxy for everything you’ve just described. Why pass a thousand new laws when the existing laws have an enforcement mechanism?

Continual learning is the next major architectural milestone for the frontier labs. That’d reduce the iteration loop to days instead of years. If your attacker assumes that all or most software will be generated from language models, the ti

The tok/s stat is interesting. Since the dominant constraint on inference speed is hardware, it suggests X purchased far more compute than was really needed to serve the demand for their models. Expensive miscalculation.

That's an interesting post, most of which I agree with. I think the problems it describes were mostly solved (and then rejected by the industry) in the 2010s with stuff like .Net MVC & WebForms (Java had similar frameworks). You&#x

I’m just not sure you can make the claim that this is an issue between the outlet and the establishment. It’s had hosts like Roger Stone doing 5 episodes a week. He’s the former campaign advisor for the sitting president of the United State
