If Anthropic is selling a dollar for less than a dollar, they are running a business that doesn't make sense. That's what jeopardizes Claude Max, not this.

Also worth considering if there is survivorship bias in this wisdom. Would Carmack be in a position to give advice on how to make Quake if id slacked itself into shutting down before Quake was finished? Remember that Carmack also started a

I agree; after running out of data on the internet, and humans being too slow to generate data, simulation is the only frontier left for improving things (training, datasets, reasoning). And it's probably the most ethical one too. If n

Basically this. They literally devote their entire lives to playing this game. They would make for effective politicians if they could translate what they do beyond wikitext.

More importantly who gets to decide good or bad? Remember all of these models are based on unimaginable levels of copyright infringement. Is OpenAI a bad actor, that they use their models to infringe on the rights of others? This isn't

I'm hopeful for humanity and technology. They aren't evil, if it weren't for them we wouldn't be here. However, I think current tech leaders have betrayed society, and the system of corruption that allowed it has seen no

It speaks to the nonsensical structure of the education system, that it functions just fine having optimized out the education. Nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it.

A sentiment a lot of people can get behind, but at this point if AI is getting a do-over, society is getting a do-over, because the economic entanglements are not really fixable without a revolution of current capitalism. The amount of mone

Ghost jobs didn't come from nowhere. The counterpoint is: make it a crime to apply for a job using AI, without disclosing your use of AI (so that your application can be thrown in the trash). Would you support that law? Because when jo

I agree with sentiment and mission, but the goal is inseparable from politics at this point. Being Open Source (tm) will not protect you from the government/others imposing controls on your silicon or what it is allowed to do, which is

They've already been labeled a "supply chain risk". Probably not a good idea to upset the regulators more. Maybe tomorrow Opus will be declared too dangerous for the public.

This doesn't help; customers will switch to a different model. It just means the government decides who gets to profit off of laundered IP, which is arguably even worse.

This affects more than just Anthropic. It's a game of thrones and everyone using this technology loses. I wouldn't cheer for that.
