There's issues where bad people with bad intentions use AI to do bad things. But to an extent the guardrails already built-in are sufficient. The real danger in AI is how it impacts society, our economy, and our perception of self wo

The distilled versions miss the spark of the model. Its like they land in the uncanny valley of models.

"they by extension think that only they should have final say over AI generally. When you further combine this realization with the company’s pronouncements about AI’s ability to conduct all economic activity, you realize that Anthropi

I'd assume it's not up to par with Qwen-3.5 then, which has been distilling Claude, and the quality of the model is probably a direct result of that.

Open source models, especially qwen are pretty dang good. But its not opus 4.6, the evals dont tell the full story. I question the assumption open source models are 3-6 months out.

Fuck, I loved grok 4.1, it was a really capable model for the money. I'd run agents consuming hundreds of millions of tokens for less than a hundred dollars.

Billions in revenue just before your IPO isn't a bad deal either.

Models are a commodity, let's say Elon actually figures out building datacenters in space, or maybe he continues to be the leader of building earth based datacenters. Probably better business to not have yourself as your only customer

It amazes me how much people try to build AI systems relying on nothing more than the models knowledge. I suspect a great deal of "failed" AI experiments we keep reading are people just not having any idea how to use AI at what i

Try running with Open Code. It works quite well.

Been using the model for a few hours now. I'm actually reall impressed with it. This is the first time i've found value in an image model for stuff I actually do. I've been using it to build powerpoint slides, and mockups.

My understanding is GPT 6 works via synaptic space reasoning... which I find terrifying. I hope if true, OpenAI does some safety testing on that, beyond what they normally do.

Its coding to coding. I could care less how the model is architected, i only care how it performs in a real world scenario.

I gave the same prompt (a small rust project that's not easy, but not overly sophisticated) to both Gemma-4 26b and Qwen 3.5 27b via OpenCode. Qwen 3.5 ran for a bit over an hour before I killed it, Gemma 4 ran for about 20 minutes be

Try using Grok 4.1 reasoning. It's crazy cheap, and really it's not that bad.

Neurons that fire together, wire together. Your brain optimizes for your environment over time. As we get older, our brains are running in a more optimized way than when we're younger. That's why older hunters are more effectiv

Oh i've been looking for a project for my 11 year old... he's a very project oriented learner, which schools don't seem to do anymore.

Speak for yourself, I have never thrown away code at this rate in my entire career. I couldn't keep up this pace without AI codegen.

I bet claude was hyping this guy up as he was building it. "Absolutely, a rust compiler written in PHP is a great idea!"

I believed that too until I watched the Karen Read Trials. The judge had a bias, and it was clear karen got justice despite the judge trying to put her finger on the scale.

We just saw last week people are setting up moltbots with virtually no knowledge of what it has and doesn't have access. The scenario that i'm afraid of is China realizes the potential of this. They can add training to the model

by swalsh 8mo ago
Yeah that sounds great until it's running as an autonomous moltbot in a distributed network semi-offline with access to your entire digital life, and China sneaks in some hidden training so these agents turn into an army of sleeper age

I think that "align your business with your passion" is a really important factor that divides the succesful from the not. When I look at Pieter Levels, he doesn't really seem to build ideas to make money. His projects seem

Many times obvious things are only obvious once you see them. Like roller suitcases.

What I’d love is some small model specializing in reading long web pages, and extracting the key info. Search fills the context very quickly, but if a cheap subagent could extract the important bits that problem might be reduced.
