And now we’re desperately trying to ”upgrade” penicillin (and friends) because it doesn’t work any more in many cases. Do you think we can repeat the process or do we need something completely different? This is why biological comparisons a

Same thought I had, I realized I was zero percent surprised reading the claims made, it feels like a perfect representation of the personality Sam Altman shows the world.

Don't forget price fixing [1] which we are seeing clear indicators of happening right now too. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing_scandal

I would see less fake news, fake profiles and fake content in general. I would be happier, even if I would miss some of it. It’s kind of sad how much we accept the idea of ”trust absolutely nothing” nowadays, even movie trailers for fiction

The illusion of safety. ”Look the type says the data has this shape”, but it doesn’t. This has led to so many cases of ”no data validation” in my experience, how people solve that is usually then with zod, and now you have added a massive r

I've seen TS hurt more than help in many cases, because people think types define the world, and then they get malformed JSON (or just a new structure) and their world crumbles. Yes, it's a skill issue, but oh dear the amount of d

They've been doing this with unpopular votes since the inception of the EU, nothing new and people definitely haven't woken up, unfortunately.

There's a difference between standing in the rain and being hit by a tsunami, even if it's both just water.

Which is why we’re putting our entire digital identification infrastructure in the hands of Google and Apple. EU technological sovereignty is a kafkaesque affair, and that’s putting it mildly.

I think developers = studio in this case, management included. It’s the same issue as Hollywood really, making content for a loud minority will not generate revenue. Compare how Marvel Rival performs to any Marvel Hollywood content after En

Not at all the take I got, it was a specific, very corporate, section about ”say nothing bad about LLMs” that was later removed due to backlash that caused the author to lose trust. They even go into specifics regarding the LLM policy and t

I love that quote, especially considering the insane amount of bugs that are produced. It’s as easy to debunk as someone claiming ”I can jump to the moon”.

They can’t keep their current models working on subscriptions[1], so we’ll see if this is marketing or not in the future. It’s smart to tease it no matter what, ”insert classic first hit is free drug reference”. [1] https://statu

This is quite terrifying to me, because I have a feeling I will soon come to the same conclusion. I’m starting to see some really glaring omissions in code I’m responsible for (using Opus) that at first (and second) look seemed fine, but re

I’ve worked at many companies where this idea of velocity was claimed to matter, and it never did. The only thing it mattered for was to make it look like middle managers were worth anything, but the success was always in the foundational i

The graphics are amazing, feels Ghibli-esque, which is crazy to say in the context of a rich text editor.

That’s quite insane, especially considering how Google is pushing Gemini into every single product.

We experienced this with Anthropic, not the same blast radius obviously, but out of nowhere account was terminated. No support available. It was via someone’s 30+ year old classmate via LinkedIn the account got reinstated. As a counterpoint

It’s not one single skill being lost, it’s about many and how they interact. I just did a big refactor with opus, it went ok, some bugs. The normal stuff. One of the bugs was in a part of the code no longer needed, which Opus had just fille

It's a built-in secret part of the teaching for any job where you interact with customers, they don't upgrade and they have no troubleshooting skills. Or just ineptitude, but I'm hoping for the former.

Love that they don't pay any royalties for AI music right now, unlike Spotify.

Reaper and Predator are both drones and there’s really no comparison to toy drones in terms of sheer destruction and capabilities in general, the comparison is actually quite apt imo.

What people? Are you seriously thinking the hundreds of millions of customers Apple have is going to be buying run-to-the-ground GPUs second hand and build local workstations for AI? Might as well ask them to self host email while you’re at

Not only that, daily flooding websites with almost infinite amounts of request for ”web searches”. DDoS-by-VC money.

Errors multiply though, you might just get more plausible sounding errors than actual facts. Like when agent 1 says X, agent 2 verifies it as Y and the original question ends up being some weird amalgamation of Z with additional ”this is re

Not really, you might understand it in the moment, but to learn something you need to do actual work. An example is, watch a thousand hours on photography, how to take great photos. Go out and try to take great photos, you will fail. This i

Feels great to have both a very generic first and last name and share them with others who are internationally known and some more locally. I really have no desire to be in model weights.

No, good driving, which includes focusing does that. People hit other people in the parking lot. There’s a reason some countries have significant higher death counts in traffic and no amount of beeping will change that.

But it’s not a matter of total charge, but output, hence it shutting down even though there’s plenty of stored energy in the battery.
