When I look at the timeline, it appears that they got exactly what they've been asking for. Or what did I miss? April: Anthropic announces Claude Mythos. Citing safety concerns regarding the model's capabilities, they restrict acc

Me neither. I just want a business to get my stuff done in a standard way. Clear pricing upfront and no haggling. No surprise. If I hire someone to take care my yard, then take care of the yard. The price is reasonable. The plants thrive. T

This is not surprising. The AI folks, especially people like Dario, kept screaming from the bottom of their lungs that AI is bad, AI is dangerous, AI is going to grab X% of the jobs, wealth is going to concentrate to about 10M people, and e

Eh, are you using the loop engineering effectively? Remember, Boris can merge more than 200 PRs a week mostly with merely a phone and despite his busy schedule. Anthropic engineers do not write code manually any more, and they don't ne

My bad. I was talking about both. The Netflix culture, and the book written by Hoffman. Hopefully I spelled their names right.

I wonder why IDEA didn't catch up with its own agent support and even their own models. It's not like agent harness is that hard to build, right? Or maybe they did, it's just that they haven't won the hearts and minds of

Shouldn't we really consider review and rewrite together? If so, the economics may not change as drastically[1]. It's just like writing code by hand: we spend lots of time organizing our thoughts and examining our code, which is n

Just curious, how can a state cap the country's population (I assume not like the Chinese government)? This appears that they assume their birth rate will be so low that they will need to absorb immigrates?

Yeah. Our stuff is waaaaay toooooo dangerous! The model is soooo powerful that I have to write a long essay telling government to change the economic policies, to regulate hard, and to ban this and that. Well, now the government is indeed r

Personally, I don't get why people blindly reject any collaboration with the military. I understand that they are pacifists, but I still don't get it. When I look at history, I see so many tragedies caused by being weak. Both Germ

Yeah, communicating upwards about potential issues and what you're doing about them is essential. When a disaster strikes, you'll look like a sage in the eyes of the higher ups.

StackExchange is pretty friendly to beginners in my experience. I used to post straight-forward questions on math and stats on math SE and stats SE. I got answers within hours and sometimes minutes, and the answers were spot on.
