Thank god! A victory for everyone who believes in the freedom of information, regardless of what you think about AI. Copyright didn't always exist, nor should it continue to. Hell; it must not . I think the words (read: hilarious 1.25

Anthropic has not been “fueling the fire”. They’re the reason most of y’all even know there’s a fire.

I… yes, he is. He wasn’t born when this was put in motion by Turing in 1950, and he quit OpenAI to try to stick to their original mission, which was exclusively and ambitiously to prevent what most (who cared to look at it) assumed was inev

It honestly blows my mind y’all are still around and up to the same ol tricks. Let me guess: you’re still mad about the hockeystick?

Yes, AFAIU it is far and away the biggest in recorded history. That said, the 1877 one also lined up with one or two other meteorological events by chance that made the famine worse, and it’s my understanding that we don’t know if those wil

Sure, CEOs are rarely appreciated in general. But the anti-tech sentiment is absolutely a new and rapidly growing beast. It’s different — trust me.

To the wonderful creators, who will presumably find this thread: did you know that sparrows had at least two full millenia of being associated with lust and depravity, rather than the connotation used here and in the final book of ISOIAF

Jesus. I know not everyone is at the same stage of DABDA, but this framing seems to be pretty blatantly tempting fate regardless!

A simpler answer to why people always accuse him of being a bad writer is that he’s a bad writer, not that they’re too dumb for his genius. > For that I’m saying you need to feed the article to the LLM of your choice Ahh, the daily cry o

The use of this phrase by the science denial side of this debate is, so infuriating that I must simply end my comment here. Look up, Ed. I know you know.

That’s Zitron for ya. To be fair to him, he’s kind of forced into this position: he’s now famous for championing a cause (AI is dumb and will never work and the scientists are lying) that is becoming increasingly untenable by the day.

That is simultaneously so heartwarming and so silly. Please sit him down and have a long, serious talk about cladistics! The kids are learning about it earlier and earlier these days, you know — it’s better that he heard that species don’t

It’s for social signaling about the author’s effort and own sense of ownership over the work, mostly[1]. People want to know exactly how much AI was used and where if they’re gonna bother investigating a repo, paper, email, or any other doo

This is pretty great! To the creator(s) if they’re around in here: if you’ve ever dreamed of a smooth, unified transition between the product’s actual scan .svg and the 3D simulation[1], I have some old code[2] for simulating origami paper

Putting aside the whole “team of professionals putting out a product vs solo dev fine tuning their opus” of it all: Can you clarify what about the architecture is ‘idiotic’? Not trying to catch you or demand a defense, just looking for a va

Those are good reasons to publish untyped libraries as a rule, sure. But the contention that those reasons outweigh the value of types kinda boggles the mind, ngl!

...which is why they were able to withdraw access to that tool, yes. You're just clarifying but the original comment here is deeply confused, IMHO.

1. Languages are used for much, much more than communication, and there is good reason to think that capacity didn't evolve for communication, but rather for metacognitive problem solving. 2. The idea that Tolkein --one of the most rek

Sadly, we have gone above and beyond the level of innovation where stock market disruption is a primary concern. Luckily, we're all in this together. As long as enough people realize the weight of what's happening soon enough, I&#

I’d politely beg us all to resist those “maybe it’s PR” framing around model safety, and tbh to take a post-mortem mindsight to this historical event and what it teaches us in general, rather than questioning their security talents. We need

Thank you, Anthropic. This random drop in the bucket wants you to know that this was a big deal for them!
