You seem to have a very low opinion of other people. If these miraculous collectors are so generally applicable, why are very smart people putting effort into things like Perseus?

I can't tell if this is bad for the big labs, or good because it means they now have an excuse for not showing meaningful progress in the lead ups to their IPOs.

Yeah, a lack of suits is not anywhere close to what the problem is here.

This is the "two r******s fighting" of founder/VC spats. A lot of founders have behavioral problems, certainly, but a lot of VCs are sociopaths. Both archetypes are well represented in this exchange.

Aren't they buying the use of these resources just like any other customer?

You seem upset.

Pretty much none of your entire comment is true.

These people forgot what the "G" stands for.

And they want Americans to be locked into paying 50 dollars per 1 million output tokens.

The two main bills I'm aware of are the Decoupling America's AI Capabilities from China Act and No Adversarial AI Act. The former would have made it illegal for any American citizen to simply use DeepSeek. I couldn't find any

Anthropic is explicitly lobbying for this.

Let's leave aside the "smarter" part, since I made no claim to the effect and I don't think it's very relevant in the first place. Do you really not think that people like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei ang

It's both.

Anthropic has been angling for regulatory capture this entire time, to an even greater extent than OpenAI.
77.
by platinumrad 4mo ago
The default assumption when evaluating any statement from Anthropic (or OpenAI, or anyone else) should always be that they are either trying to juice their IPO, create the conditions for regulatory capture, or both.

The is a large middle ground between "aren't impressive" and "Claude can spit out billion dollar companies on demand".

I don't think one Claude can replace ten engineers of the caliber it takes to build a billion dollar company. I also don't think that every set of ten engineers of that level builds a billion dollar company every time. There is al

This is a separate mechanism. The user is not notified about the flagging and rather than redirecting to a weaker model, the response is intentionally sabotaged. It's user-hostile to the point of parody.

Awfully convenient timing for them, with the IPO and all.

I don't doubt that the operation as a whole is a disaster, but they should be able to avoid the price increase by using one of the many other cheap models like DeepSeek V4 Flash right?

That's saying you can't formally verify an LLM, not that LLMs can't be used in formal verification.

Is this because they've run into a wall? Are all of the labs that are behind where Anthropic is today expected to pause as well? It would be pretty funny to both announce an IPO and hit the "everyone pause" immediately after

The Party certainly isn't going to solve the replication crisis. It's just going to pressure researchers to publish a different set of unreplicable results.

Somehow, we're going to end up with all of the downsides and none of the upsides.
