Parts of Europe, most notably France, has been perfectly aware since... always? But in general I agree, the other parts got a big wakeup call.

it's an explanation, but you have to have tunnel vision to think this is the only explanation. I think they truly believe what they say when they say it's a very dangerous piece of tech and from their wargamed scenarios they fig

The jagged frontier of frontier models means treating tokens as fungible between providers is naive at the limit of capability, but also will work for solved problems far from the boundary. The problem is you need to keep evaluating all mod

Computers are disposable, secrets is what we’re talking about. Rotating passwords and tokens is a major PITA on the best of days.

Civilization is built on trust, otherwise you’ll need to rebuild all of it yourself. This isn’t very different.

Nothing to fix. This is working as designed. Using codex for this use case is the fix.

MacBook Neo for $600 is the only laptop under $999 worth looking at nowadays. Apple used to be the expensive premium option and they’re basically the cheapest today. What a time to be alive.

It’s easy to dunk on them because of incentives, but consider for a moment a world in which they have access to internal, non-lobotomized models, have run evals on them and have been genuinely concerned by what they saw.

Dario has been riding this exponential for longer than almost anyone here, I’d recommend people try to not scream ‘regulatory capture’ immediately when the risks have indeed materialized and the trend critically does not show any signs of s

OpenAI, Anthropic and Google serve models, but approximately all of their combined output ends up on github.

A Ferrari will likely lap you when you’re racing, though, and the market and the economy is a race. You’ll be facing a question soon, or your employer will, whether to spend a significant chunk of free cash on fable-class tokens or on liter

I am because CEOs are. Look where the puck is going. Sorry to update your p(doom) priors in this way, it was obvious to anyone paying attention years ago conditioned on uplift trend persisting. Trend persisted and here we are.

Good luck understanding it and finding malevolent inefficiencies if it’s already necessarily better at optimizing training pipelines than everyone except some Anthropic and OpenAI employees. Not a new thing either, see fast16.
