Relative to its competitors, Anthropic seems to have a higher share of professional users paying premium subscriptions, which is probably more sustainable in the long term.

The discussion about “AGI” is somewhat pointless, because the term is nebulous enough that it will probably end up being defined as whatever comes out of the ongoing huge investment in AI. Nevertheless, we don’t have a good conceptual frame

Personally, I would not contribute to a project that forced me to lie. And from the point of view of the maintainers, it seems a terrible idea to set up rules with the expectation that they will be broken.

The current AI buildup is based on an almost metaphysical bet that intelligence can be simulated in software and straightforwardly scaled by increasing complexity and energy usage. Personally, I remain skeptical that is the case. What does

The moon landing would have probably happened during JFK’s second term, if he hadn’t been assassinated and if the Apollo 1 tragedy hadn’t set the project back significantly.

Meta tried to make VR into a mass-market product but currently VR technologies are only successful in very specific niches and use cases. One of those use cases is training in industrial settings like factories, mines, or construction sites

I’m just sceptical that OpenAI would be making “TikTok for AI” if they really believed that we are on the verge of creating Artificial General Intelligence.

At least now we know that AGI is definitely not happening.

This matches my experience with Claude on other projects. Its output is much better when it can work against detailed specifications and tests, and Lean seems to be an extreme case of that.

There is undoubtedly a real effect here, but IMHO one problem with the original article is that it treats the US as the only reference point. On the one hand, this reflects the US dominant position in world affairs and the fact that probabl

The main concern when making maps is not philosophical but practical. The usual orientation responds to the simple fact that two thirds of Earth’s land is in the Northern hemisphere. European and American maps place the Atlantic in the midd

There was another headline about “top models” getting in trouble for “history leaks” that would have been very confusing to 15 year old me.

Fukushima was partly an issue of flawed risk assessment. The tsunami that took down the plant was believed to be an incredibly rare even, expected to happen once every ten thousand years. However, that was a result of faulty assumptions mad

But there isn’t a person on the other side whom you are reaching through their service. The only communication is between you and the OpenAI server that takes in your input message and produces an output. I understand that people assume LLM

It only seems that way because much of the data that humans use is not in a format that computers would understand. A toddler learning to talk is engaging their full body.

LLMs are very sensitive to leading questions. A small hint of that the expected answer looks like will tend to produce exactly that answer.

Very large projects are an area where AI tools can really empower developers without replacing them. It is very useful to be able to ask basic questions about the code that I am working on, without having to read through dozens of other sou

The "Pro" variant of GTP-5 is probably the best model around and most people are not even aware that it exists. One reason is that as models get more capable, they also get a lot more expensive to run so this "Pro" is on

Is this the beginning of the US sovereign fund?

That’s a good point. My concern is that these tools will increase the gap between the trusted contributors to a project and people honestly trying to get their first patch in, because the latter now have to make themselves noticed in a sea

This is a very informative article, a good starting point to understand the complexities and nuances of integrating these tools into large software projects. As one commenter notes, we seem to be heading towards a “don't ask, don'

It might boil down to individual thinking styles, which would explain why people tend to talk past each other in these discussions.

At the moment, AI tools are particularly useful for people who feel comfortable browsing through large amounts of text, intuitively nudging the machine this way and that until arriving at a valuable outcome. However, that way of working can

Possibly, although at least that article tried to justify the $100k with some handwaving about multiple agents working in parallel with minimal human supervision. Unfortunately, people are swallowing the headline without any critical thinki

Japanese has fewer sounds and a lot more homophones than English, so purely phonetic writing becomes a lot more ambiguous. Children grow out of it at an early age. Furthermore, kanji often allows the reader to skip phonetics altogether, bec

Human culture is subject to evolutionary pressures, just as biological systems, but it can change in a shorter timescale.

Human cultures are also subject to evolutionary pressures and it is likely that we will start seeing intense selection effects at that level much earlier.
