They can monitor latent space as well, it just costs extra compute. The J-Space work is example of that. It'll make open-weight models harder to distill though, so we may see slower progress there now.

This is spot on. A collaborator is exactly what real AGI is. It will figure out the perfect questions to ask, in the perfect order, by intelligently assessing the entire solution and problem space upfront, so when you leave it to go off on

Agreed. There's not many things I don't want AI to help with, but buying stuff autonomously is high up on the list of things I don't want. Brockman's latest interview was something like: "AGI would be able to say oh

I'm glad to see Anthropic's relevance diminishing day by day. I haven't had a chance to test this model yet, but if they've solved the web design issues and the clunky web copy it generates (like when I ask it to build a

Agreed, and that's exactly why I don't use Claude anymore and haven't for months now. But I'm not most people. Most people don't vote with their wallet, unfortunately.

Not to mention you can actually see the tokens you pay for, and you can finetune it or change its system prompt. I think compute providers are the big business. Run any model you like, adjust the weights however you like, adjust the prompts

The incentives are not aligned. Anthropic makes money when you burn tokens. They also hide the tokens you burn from you, so you can't even validate if you actually burned them, you just have to believe them. This is not a lasting busin

So basically, Anthropic can charge you for tokens you don't even see. "Trust me bro, you really did use $5,000 worth of tokens to generate that pelican". We need AI consumer rights, urgently.

Why would that be cheating? That's what humans do when they learn, they look for the signals and patterns that reduce the possible set of answers so they can converge on the solution and narrow the search space.

So your argument against this being guerilla marketing is that you bought a Mac Mini after seeing the guerilla marketing, to do the thing that you didn't need a Mac Mini to do.

There's nothing masterful or careful about it. If it were, no one would notice it. This is as obvious and sloppy as it gets. No different to startup founders paying social media marketing companies $10-20k to promote their slop product

That only applies to tweets that are published on behalf of the company, not tweets from sockpuppet accounts that have no direct connection to the company and are made to look like a regular consumer.

Occam's Razor would be that the tens of thousands of marketers that Apple hires (contractors or otherwise) utilize the most obvious and effective strategy for making sales: Spamming the internet and manipulating perceptions. Their mark

Apple has a huge marketing budget, and evidently, they are not beyond using unethical tactics to sell their products. That's how it started.

Sad that Apple is stooping to the level of spamming the web with bots and fake news to advertise their products. Are there laws against this sort of thing?

I'm convinced that this is just guerilla marketing from Apple. When this started spreading a day or two ago, it was all from no-name spam media sites that are paid to publish articles. They all claimed "a source" is where the

Seems to me this is just a way for OpenAI to try and build a moat by putting everyone into their cloud so they can build the tooling internally without exposing it to anyone, causing greater vendor lock-in. Not to mention giving them free r

I'm fine with it. I'm just as liable or likely to write bugs in my own handwritten code as I am in generating code via AI, if not more likely.

Conspiracy time: The continuous diffusion model has fruit. Frontier labs were trying to bury it with discrete diffusion distraction, because it is what they're using internally. Momentum wins, in the end.

This is funny to me, because if the age-verification laws were supposed to be a stepping stone toward greater oversight on computing so that AI can be corralled in the future, seeing what is likely to come with billions of spam-bots and zer

I'd bet there's a correlation between benchmaxxing and chart crimes. Companies who try to deceive perceptions via the charts are more likely to cheat at the benchmarks too, I'm sure. That's assuming ill intent, of course

I really like this model. It's the only one I've found so far (except maybe Kimi K3) that I would say I'm happy to use as a main driver.
