The patterns were there if you knew to look for them. The original Digg excepted, Kevin Rose's attention span is extremely limited. He will give something ~3-4 months of attention before (apparently) getting bored and wanting to move o

Ahhh, AI. The perpetual cover for "we over-hired in Covid times and are now correcting for that." Makes you look innovative.

It's as if people forgot about the MacBook One (anagram: Neo) from 2015 (which I daily drove for a year and loved). I suspect the Neo will sell about the same, and be forgotten in as many years.

Weirdly, LLMs seem to break with these instructions. They simply ignore them, almost as if the pretraining/RL weights are so heavy, no amount of system prompting can override it

Development isn't hard on ram. Doing what Apple claims this device is designed for, spending lots of time in multiple browser tabs, is.

It's strange that the low-end machines get positioned as "every day task" devices when the biggest ram hogs by far are browsers and websites.

It's more that they can't think of anything else that could possibly need that much compute.

I mean, given your very specific filter, how many companies exist today that were formed in the last decade would be on the list? Stripe?

It's more like "Tesla is going to be bankrupt imminently" all over again. Name a time in history when a company with an industry-defining product with huge demand failed under the weight of cash flow, or regulation. Frontier

Profit is what you do when you're not trying to grow. Name a time in history when a company with an industry-defining product with huge demand failed under the weight of cash flow, or regulation.

Anthropic and OpenAI are shipping AI agent SaaS and generating tens of billions in revenue. It's safe to say yes.

Excited to try this. Is this not in effect a kind of "pre-compaction," deciding ahead of time what's relevant? Are there edge cases where it is unaware of, say, a utility function that it coincidentally picks up when it just

Again, these are just words, and they're a salad of legal terms of art that provide cover for virtually any action. "We prevent the -illegitimate- use..." [define illegitimate plz?] In your second link, that team was defunded

That's my point. They formed anthropic under the sole mandate of "guardrails first," now seemingly don't have them at all. So they're just another ai company with different marketing, not the purely altruistic outfi

for sure. If they weren't so self-righteous about not serving ads, it'd be a great revenue stream for them. It'd also align with Dario's seeming obsession with profitability

The "safeguards" you are referring to are contractual, i.e. words. There are no technical safeguards, per the article. The memo literally says that the reason they have these policies is -because- actual technical guardrails are n

Are the guardrails not part of their core? Isn't that the whole premise of their existence?

Should probably look up how many private companies are suing the government at any one time because of a breach of contract. And that's publicly breaching. NSA and other three-letter agencies happily do it under cloak and dagger.

"as an ai safety company, we only believe in -partially- autonomous weaponry" Ads are coming.

These are literally words. The DoW could still easily exploit these platforms, and nothing Anthropic has done can prevent it, other than saying (publicly), "we disagree."

by mvkel 8mo ago
Good optics, but ultimately fruitless. If preventing mass surveillance or fully autonomous weaponry is a -policy- choice and not a technical impossibility, this just opens the door for the department of war to exploit backdoors, and anthrop

Convenience trumps everything, including privacy and security. Tell the average person that they have to install their own model is a deal breaker at the outset. As for 99% capabilities being on device, battery life makes it a non starter.

Regardless of their intent, this is the opening move in a ratchet that only turns one direction. Platforms almost always begin with "90% of users will never notice," then gradually expand scope as regulatory pressure, liability, a

Good question! It serves as a bootstrap for each module design file (effectively a deeper expansion of what is defined in the PRD). Once you have (at least) design files for each module, PRD is no longer necessary. It usually ends up being
