I deliberately didn't mention any threat vector. I would assume China is working on liberating Anthropic weights through the battle-tested strategy of finding someone in a privileged position and getting them laid, etc.

Hackers didn't use to spend a lot of time defending trillion-dollar corporations and their intellectual property rights.

"Information wants to be free" Anthropic profited from training its models on all kinds of copyrighted information, live by the sword, die by the sword... Their model weights, training data, training methods, etc are all going to

It is doable, but it is harder for the average redditor to compute something reasonable than just looking at GVW. You should really take into account driver height, pedestrian height and hood slope and length and height.

For ROI though you can run 24/7 agentic-style workloads, constantly churning through all your source code looking for security bugs (or whatever) and you DONT pay per-token costs. A DeepSeek instance running 24/7 in a cloud provid

I'm way more concerned about getting run over or T-boned by a distracted driver in a huge pickup, and literally nothing is getting done about that.

Weight of SUVs/Trucks isn't really the right metric to use though. The proportion of them which have a grill height which impairs visibility of the average height pedestrian would be a "better" metric, except it isn&#x27

I'd guess Anthropic will probably win, and LLMs will probably still be with us and be much better in 10 years time. But next year we could be in the middle of a massive $600B/yr capital-spending bubble deflating hard with unemploy

by dualvariable 3mo ago
Yeah, but in the short-term there's $600B/yr of debt-financed depreciating capital investments waiting to financially blow up. If you zoom out to the year 2100, it becomes a little pimple on the economy that is ready to pop, but i

That is literally just more security through obscurity. And the threat actors that would find that information "useful" already know it. All of our IT security is a mess, the NSA director is just confirming what should be common k

Also, this is just security through obscurity. The holes that mythos exploited still exist after you've tried to limit mythos accessibility. And the fact that all our systems are riddled with security holes shouldn't be too much

Timing is also important. I can predict cancer with 100% success, because everyone will get cancer, unless they die of something else first.

Well, I'm certainly glad that Google has never given their executives a lot of compensation or done layoffs of their workers.

Well, you see Firefox isn't entirely perfect, so I'll just continue using the worst web browser out there until someone finally makes the perfect one...

Ultimately, I bet Anthropic is fine with this because they needed to take Fable down to improve the guardrails (that were getting a ton of pushback) and they consider treating Fable as "too dangerous" to just be good PR hype for t

I think the bigger social problem is that too many people think it is counter-cultural to be defending rich people and billionaires, and an act of rebellion to mindlessly consume.

I tend to think this is all just PR and hype, baking in the idea that Fable/Mythos is so good that it attracted all these regulations and controls. So you need to spend >$20k per developer per month, or you'll fall behind. Do

GitHub doesn't allow me to put up my old repos for adoption by any old rando, or to allow randos to request to take over my repos if I don't respond for 2 weeks. GitHub also actually protects against repojacking and tombstones use

That's a semantic detail based on the choice of build from source over binary distribution. This is also a terrible way to run a package build system in this day and age as well, if you like. I feel exactly the same way about it, and
