I’ve heard about that “open secret” and I don’t understand. What’s the incentive for Anthropic to pump up the token usage on their top end plan? Is it to move Pro users up to Max? That’s the only plausible idea I can think of.

Maybe I just don’t know how the business works. Many of the support calls that I make are for things or services that I’ve had for a while, not just purchased. So I expected that to be more of a trailing indicator rather than the first area

I’m as skeptical of fiat currencies as the next guy, but denominating in Bitcoin is the ultimate cherry pick. The price of everything has crashed in the last 10 years when denominated in Bitcoin. If we measured GDP in Bitcoins, the statis

Sales people sure, but secretaries and support staff?

Relatively small amount compared to the billions we see thrown around for AI startups a couple of years old.

I thought they’re primarily water vapor resulting from the combustion reaction, not from wing tip turbulence.

You’re absolutely correct. A jitter buffer is necessary for a human listener, but a LLM isn’t aware of a time lapse, just like it isn’t aware of the time since your last message in the conversion (unless the chat harness explicitly informs

It’s manipulative if you don’t care and pretend you do, especially to achieve a goal of your own. It’s not manipulative if you cultivate the tendency to actually care about others, and not treat them like NPCs who are only important for you

Why do they call it a speed limit on the highways?

In fact, it didn’t. Trump continued to make “no new wars” a plank of his platform. Some of his base will follow wherever he goes, but he would not have been elected without those who supported him on the basis of this (broken) promise.

The videos are good training data, but the comments? The comment UX is so non-conducive to discussion, and the general quality is very low compared to what used to be on Google+ (to be fair, the self-selected users of Google+ were not repr

Hence the eye roll. Peter Thiel is Silicon Valley like, say, Trump or Biden is white people.

Why do you say that, did Meta sponsor similar legislation in another country? It doesn't seem like they have strong incentives to push for this. How does it make them more money?

Any patent. The question was who owns a (arbitrary) algorithm. The elaborated answer is that nobody “owns” an algorithm (i.e. has intellectual property rights to it) without a patent: in USA and many other jurisdictions, patents are the I

Can you provide examples that support your assertion, that the US system was already generally seen as obsolete in 1926? Smells like BS.

What, Dario is just going to turn on unlimited-token-CEO-mode and ask Claude to devise a plan to out maneuver the military and intelligence services? It’s not AGI yet, and this request would be far outside the training distribution: it w

From what I read here, the required chip size would scale linearly with the number of model weights. That alone puts a ceiling on the size of model. Also the defect rate grows as the chip grows. It seems like there might be room for inno

I’m not arguing anything, I was just trying to clear up confusion. However, it’s not clear to me that Ireland has “solved” the problem.

That’s not what they’re saying. Only the funding source would change; the funds would still be split evenly to anyone who meets the criteria of being an artist.

I’d hate the job too. It would be interesting to see how Google might evolve with him at the helm, for sure.

It’s bad if the government is using it this way, but it would probably be worse if everyone could.

They say they’re developing products where the constitution is doesn’t work. That means they’re not talking about your case 1, although case 2 is still possible. It will be interesting to watch the products they release publicly, to see if

How can you expect someone to tailor a custom explanation, when they don’t know your level of mathematical understanding, or even your level of curiosity. You don’t know what a Gaussian blur does; do you know what a Gaussian is? How deepl

If you read what I wrote, I’m talking about a black woman who espoused, at length, her belief that being white is irredeemably not OK. Pardon my haphazard choice of “rejection of whiteness”. I’m not trying to echo culture war slang; I’m n

I feel a bit bad having written my comment, because the OP appears to be in some generalized pain about, let’s say, racist white men, fascism, or whatever. I can empathize with that, see how it lead them to write something ugly and evident
