Curiously nothing on DeepSWE and ARC-AGI-3 yet. For ARC at least there's a statement that Anthropic won't guarantee them that their secret private test data won't be collected by them and used for training.

That depends entirely on how they and I are using tools available. There must be a sweet spot. Best person at finding that sweet spot wins on price. I'd be up for that.

Every freelancer that switched to AI feels exactly what happened even if they can't name it. We became for AI what our clients were for us. Some hate it, some love it. To feel safe in life our clients needed to have an actual business.

> Voting not being effective is quite a long way from voting not being allowed at all. How so exactly? Do you think that the fact that people in russia, for example, can vote is far from them not being allowed to vote?

What about modern non-wealthy? They neither get a fair stake in society nor even a voice that matters. Voting pretty much doesn't work. How much the issue is supported by non-wealthy voters has no bearing on the laws that are going to

I would easily pay a lot of money to have access to AI for my job. I actually do pay. If the cost was significant I'd just add it to hourly rate that I consider acceptable. Company always pays in the end, because company is the only en

That's unbelievable! As in "I did not believe it". I mean it's nominally true, but only because this table has almost nothing in it, so a second index on random uuid is a visible cost. If this was actual table in actual

First one for me was when chatGPT wrote me a function that I could paste into my code. It didn't do anything particularly clever but it did things I could figure out without me having to figure them out. That was about two years ago. S
