I guess where I was leading to is who owns the compute that runs those models. Mistral, for example, lists Microsoft and Google as subprocessors (1). Anthropic is (was?) running on GCP and AWS. So, we have multiple providers, but for how lo

From whom? OpenAI and Google? Who else has the sort of resources to train and run SOTA models at scale? You just reduced the supply of engineers from millions to just three. If you think it was expensive before ...

$250k a year, for now. What's to stop anthropic for doubling the price if your entire business depends on it? What are you gonna do, close shops?

The crowd is perhaps due to the concentration of world class museums and historical sights. I know it's hip to play blasé and so much cooler than the mindless drones, but there's a reason people are flocking to zone 1 instead of P

There's clearly no difference whatsoever between a Toyota Aygo and a Hilux, as they both seat exactly four people. That's why most car brands only have a single model.

Robots that specialise in one thing already exist. In big factories, where they'll peel and dice tons of onions per hour, being fed via unsexy conveyor belts into massive dicers. That's the problem with robots like Optimus. The &q

Do you have a double-digit number of kids? Because I've got one, and it takes about ten minutes.

Oh and it's also the least spontaneous place I've lived in. All the food in the world, but you can't really just decide to try something, because everyone knows about the place, and they don't do bookings anyway, and eve

Food only takes you so far. The housing stock is simply terrible. Extremely small, damp, badly insulated ... I lived in four boroughs, from poor Southwark to rich Richmond. Had a couple of friends sharing a luxury flat by the Emirates stadi

Sure. But he still doesn't have the money to buy the labour the OP was wanting to sell. Which was the point of the argument: If you think AI will destroy most white collar jobs, learning a trade won't help.

If nobody is employed, then nobody has any money to live in a house, and the landlord doesn't get any rent.

Who will need your labour if everyone else is unemployed?

When we bought our house in the Netherlands, an official translator was legally required to be present. I'd never have trusted an AI translation for a three-quarters of a million signature.

To your first point, that's what adaptive cruise control does. It will slow you down to maintain a gap with the car in front of you.

In the UK, it took me half an hour and 30£ to open a Ltd, which I think is the equivalent of a GmbH. It might have changed, but a few years ago you could go from 0 to a fully functional limited company, with accounting, business account, re

But this is an interview problem at Anthropic, not at your local CRUD factory. They _are_ looking for the optimizers, because they _are_ working on cryptic problems the 99.9999% of us will never encounter.

I consider myself rather smart and good at what I do. It's nice to have a look at problems like these once in a while, to remind myself of how little I know, and how much closer I am to the average than to the top.

Am I missing something? I've kept the iPhones I bought for 6 years or so. I replaced the battery on each phone, and all it cost me was 50€ and half an hour waiting for the local non-Apple phone shop to do the work. That surely counts a

They built an entire identity around it. They're in too deep to just back off and admit to being wrong. It's the same reason why doomsday cults are stronger and more united the day after the predicted end of the world: It's t

Share of the world's GDP is a flawed metric. It tells us we're getting a smaller slice, but it doesn't tell us if the pie grew or shrunk. If the EU grew by 50% while India and China became 200% richer, then on paper the share

The logic isn't flawed. If you are a European investor, then you care about the returns in your currency, and the fact is your pile of money only grew by 4%. Inversely, as a US investor, if you invested 100€ in the eurostoxx 50, your p
