I think all misgivings about AI would go away fast, if it solved one important problem for humanity. Carbon nanotubes for space elevators, sustainable nuclear fusion, or something in that ilk.

The positive effects were immediate, and measurable. The negative effects are delayed, and hard to quantify without all the advancement in climate research since then. If everyone in 1920 knew a 100 years from now there would be climate cri

Can you give me a rough example of what you prompt? Just asking for info. I use Sonnet 4.6 and have a hard time hitting capacity.

I don't know if Gastown will work out. But it is quite a bold take. I am interested to see how it plays out. I suspect they will eventually roll back some of the stringent "no code reading" approach in favor of observability

I think it behooves us to be selective right now. Frontier labs maybe great at developing models, but we shouldn't assume they know what they are doing from a product perspective. The current phase is throwing several ideas on the wall

I don't think the disconnect is very surprising to the "insiders". Your Dario's and Sam's know exactly what they are doing. They know it's going to cause a lot of job displacement, even if the technology isn&#x

First I am hearing of Gateway Arch national park, and I am very confused why it's a national park?

At this point, I almost feel bad that people are piling on Garry Tan. Almost.

And how does BTC play in this scenario?

I tend to prefer the ARC-AGI benchmarks for the most part. But it's always interesting when a new version drops, all the frontier models drop less than 20% or something. And then in the next few releases they get all they way up to 80%

The problem is once you accept that it is needed, you can no longer push AI as general intelligence that has superior understanding of the language we speak. A structured LLM query is a programming language and then you have to accept you n

Sounds like a good effort. They are choosing to focus on multi-modality - perhaps they are taking a different route here to Anthropic. I don't like that I need to login to my FB/Instagram account to access this.

In Multimodal yes, but Opus is definitely edging out in Text/Reasoning and Agentic benchmarks. I think the general skepticism is because they are late to race, and they are releasing a Opus-4.6-equivalent model now, when Anthropic is t

I wonder if this is why the tech cartel is buying up all the hardware? If the average user gets convinced they could run LLMs for cheap at home, you cannot trap users in your walled garden anymore.

We final have the answer to the question, when do these labs stop giving away intelligence to the general public for $20 a month? Selling shovels in now worth less than taking all the gold for themselves.

There's a little explained if you hit the (?) at the bottom. They are taking the monthly inflation value and calculate it per tick.

You know what, it's not as bad as I was thinking.

Well the important thing is they have a lot more data of people actually using their models. They have read billions more lines of private repos and implemented millions of patches, all of which is feeding into the newer models. More import

You are not supposed worry about the mapping. You trust the website to help decode it. You just remember the sentence. It's a little like what3words for coordinates. The rationale being you are more likely to remember grammatical cogen

Its simple, but its not easy is what I would say. Once you figure out the meta, you can work out most of it.

I played the demo, but it definitely took me a minute to grok the rules. I don't know if this is how we want to measure AGI. In general I believe the we should probably stop this pursuit for human equivalent intelligence that encourage

Feel bad for the ATC officer. I hope they can find it in them to forgive themselves.

I like the whimsy. It helps lighten up my mood sometimes. Unrelated, for me, Claude's most annoying feature is its existential urge to start implementing changes as soon as possible.

sidenote: Those Grok rankings in arena dot ai don't make sense. The avg rank for grok 420 seems to be ~10 but the overall rank puts it at 4 right behind opus and gemini.
