>Society profits from having AI Not all of society at all. Let's discuss this when AI is better integrated and a large fraction of people are laid off in 5 years.

Imagine if they trigger the California Big One and all of LA, San Diego and the SF Bay (and innumerable towns) are swallowed "because of man-made actions", I wouldn't want to be the Governor or President to approve that one l

Frontier model trainers stole almost all the data they've trained on (the whole internet, all copyrighted). It's very hard for them to claim the moral high ground here. It's like stealing an apple from the British Colonial Em

honnestly I would be less surprised if a human learned the info and prompted the model in the right direction

Then your choice is either a US mega corp under the Trump partial dictatorship shitshow or a Chinese model distillation factory that could turn on you at any second. I understand that there are users that would prefer another option, especi

Brain dead moral relativism argument. The question is whether eg. a group trying to scam elders out of insurance money or a Columbian cartel to hack local politicians to do blackmail, or South Sudan to hack Darfur or whatever, should be all

Lean is adversarial in a way. Lean is better thought of as a constraint language with a verifier that checks if the constraints are respected, than a programming language. Your job or the LLM's job is to write code that Lean is satisfi

Interesting. Indeed, proving theorems that are stronger and more general "accidentally" than what you really need is not a bad thing.

Doing things the hard way is a lot of times "male" bravado (though this is not limited to males in any way ofc), this is a very common thing in junior engineers. Curiosity is good but maturity is trusting that the problem will get

surely you'll get sued by the GLP-1 patent owners like HIMs did if you sell your own product? & can physicians recommend non-FDA approved manufactured drugs?

My assumption is that they're cooking an ultra humongous Gemini 4 Pro release. They certainly have the cash and the compute for it, and it's so obviously the thing to do from a strategic perspective.

by make3 23d ago
That extremely likely just means that they're preparing an omega huge Gemini 4 Pro release and that that's what training right now on most of the compute

brother H-1Bs are transparently vectors for foreign educated workers to come to the US to build lives and eventually get a green card, so the US doesn't have to actually build a functional education system. no one talented will come pa

NVidia has reasonable incentives to keep things open indefinitely, it wants people to use it's GPUs

I think this is good.. They have incentives to keep things free to keep people using their GPUs. I think that's one of the least enshittifying outcomes possible

they mention using an open weights model, which one it is doesn't really matter

It will always be wasteful to have a GPU sleeping next to you 99% of the time. Something like OpenRouter is the solution imho, for me at least. I realize that that some people care about privacy more though, and I respect that.

they should unite to block all news from getting to LLMs without LLM providers paying per access

by make3 1mo ago
the press release says this explicitly

40M$ to get a marginally better model is surprising, why not just use the free weight models

by make3 1mo ago
why chicken or egg? it's way to imagine both evolving together in a mutually reinforcing relationship where the gains in one are direct incentives for the other to continue to evolve, etc

interestingly also, open weight models are also more effectively run in the cloud, so it creates a weird scenario where the frontier labs crash but the compute providers, not as much

well, a stroke of luck until the whole US stock market crashes & everyone's retirement funds get cut 40% I guess when people internalize this. it will have to happen sooner or later though I suppose

There's barely any incentive to publish anything online if the main way to interact with the web is through LLMs that don't click ads or mention your name etc

For me, Opus 5 mostly sucked because of its incomprehensible writing style. Having the system prompt focus on writing in terms that are easier to understand helped a bit

I think it's a prisoners dilemma & that democracy, with its short term incentives, leads to politicians taking the easy way out, even if it creates bad precedent for their countries. obviously democracy is still better than the alt
