i'm glad someone else sees this too. There's nothing open source about an open-weight model. I feel like they're just trying to associate themselves with open source and the positive impacts it has had on software technolgoy.

well let's be clear, there's nothing open about an open-weight model. To me, "open these models up. " must mean provide all the data and supporting documentation required to reproduce the model. That would be "open&

that probably has the same effect as "think harder" which is a legitimate prompt. The models are fairly could at interpreting intent.

i mentioned this in another comment but if these models are fully capable by default and not neutered in the weights themselves via training then you can assume they've already been stolen. It would be worth any cost to steal it.

i've always been under the assumption that "AI Safety" is baked into the training of the models and not a parameter that can be turned up or down. So if someone breaks into Anthropic one night and makes a full copy of Mythos

Are they really "trying to hide" this debt? I think it's pretty common knowledge that a lot of these companies are using debt/bonds for funding. The debt not showing up where the author wants is a reporting formality not

I feel like i've heard of people using views for this as well. Like setting up two views and then joining across them because of the complexity of doing it all in one query. I could be wrong though.

man, i wouldn't worry about tuning something like TCP until you can reliably prove TCP is the bottle neck in performance. That day will likely never come for most companies.

No one ever cared about DCs before now. I think there’s a lot of social media influence from nation state competitors going on to try and slow SOTA development in the US. Ironically, There’s enough issues with the DC buildout going on that

It’s totally doable and is done right now in the form of “ai safety” guardrails. No reason you can’t have guardrails to reform responses about your competitors as negative. Or, when asked about current events, only give a one sided opinion.
