Meetup was bought by Bending Spoons (after a winding path getting passed around after it being sold to WeWork). They’re basically just running it until the wheels fall off.

I guess where I'm coming from is there seems to be a lot of effort and energy available for discouraging and even banning this sort of LLM use without remotely comparable amounts of effort and energy put into figuring out how everyone

The choice between human therapist and computer chat is not a choice that most people in the world have. Most humans do not have access to a human therapist. We should absolutely be talking about how to make LLM systems better at handling c

The current MacBooks are the best they've ever made. That wasn't true of the last generation. Late 2010s models were extremely cursed.

Many people in the past would have said reasoning would be impossible based on the same objection.

Humanity has a pretty extensive track record of making that declaration wrongly.

We didn’t design these models to be able to do the majority of the stuff they do. Almost ALL of the their abilities are emergent. Mechanistic interpretability is only beginning to start to understand how these models do what they do. It’s m

It might be reasonable to assume that models today have no internal subjective experience, but that may not always be the case and the line may not be obvious when it is ultimately crossed. Given that humans have a truly abysmal track recor

That's the capillary refill test which tests circulation and perfusion. Doesn't really tell you anything about oxygen levels.

No proof, it’s just incredibly convenient. Just like when Kristi Noam just happened to get her purse stolen by someone who was in the country illegally right when the ICE raids were about to start. In this case, the well-known DOGE intern j

Is this different than what GM has been doing with Ultium?

If your art can be replaced by a model that recycles what’s already been done, maybe you were just recycling what’s already been done too.

There were even people who felt this way about anesthesia too. To survive in that era, they had to believe that suffering was somehow good for healing (or at least good spiritually) and talked about anesthesia as if it were cheating the nat

It’s going to be a great time to be an entrepreneur, but a terrible time to be an employee. A solo indie developer can have an AI team working on a project. But so will every corporation. The competition for the remaining human-only roles w

I think the idea is the end of the game is nearing (AGI) and specific dollar amounts mean less than the binary outcome of getting there first.

LASIK is essentially an automated surgery and 1-2 million people get it done every year. Nobody even seems to care that it’s an almost entirely automated process.

What if you target 0% inflation and instead tax assets at 2%? Same effect as “good inflation”, encouraging investment rather than hoarding, but it funds government rather than just devaluing the currency?

I wanted one of these so bad. Never got one but I did love my 600. The ergonomics on the era of Thinkpads was never topped. Such great keyboards. And the grippy rubberized exterior. Everything felt good.

Meta had the scale and whiffed so bad the entire Llama team disbanded and Zuck has been recruiting new people with 9 figure offers. Capital is essential but the people deciding when to launch the training run still do matter.

They’ve proven they can launch SOTA models. There are only a handful of people in the world who have that track record. They know OpenAI’s complete history and roadmap. They can get a call with any AI researcher on earth.

It’s kind of disingenuous to lead with an example from Megalopolis like it represents something about the culture.

Benchmarking LLMs on this is an important thing to do. There is a huge potential positive effect of psychotherapy being always-available to every human rather than just for wealthy people once a week. But to get there we need to know the ra

I think a slightly different way to think about it is that it’s not always contest for maximum detail. Apple’s new liquid glass look is impressive, but is it necessarily better UI than System 9? I think you could have a reasonable debate ab

Grok 4 very conspicuously now shares Elon’s political beliefs. One simple explanation would be that Elon’s Tweets were heavily weighted as a source for training material to achieve this effect and because of that, the model has learned that

As impressive as this is, how can any organization pick xAI as an API provider knowing they have have post-trained the model to match Elon’s personal politics and possibly other not-yet-known surprises. Great technical work, but the busines
