I found myself so strongly endorsing almost every remark and impression in this post - are we the same person?? AI truly is dual-use: it can lead to immense speed ups on 'research rabbit-holes' that used to take a lot of manual wo

Great work! Love the harnessing of Apple's local inference. Wondering if you'd be willing to support the same conversational export, summarization, and search/retrieval flows but for the consumer platforms (ChatGPT and Claude

Yes, I thought about that, and which is why I'm just running this as a pilot for this quarter to see how it goes and I'm not particularly attached to it if feedback/results are mixed. But that said, there are real constraints

Did you even read Gwern's Guardian Angels post? It literally describes the concern pointed out here, that the large consumer models are not aligned with users' interests. If anything, I would argue that Gwern has maximal AI Lucidi

Doesn’t this just lead to a new “basin of tastelessness” that, sure, looks different from current slop, but is itself just eventually slop all the same?

It's true that there isn't currently a single Chinese model family that matches the full OLMo/Nemotron end-to-end 'cookbook' one could rightly call "open-source" (i.e. a full manual on how to reproduce you

RIP JCD. As a kid growing up in the 1990s, I looked forward to your (highly opinionated) column in every new issue of PC Mag. So much of my own taste in software and computing was shaped by absorbing your strong opinions. Thanks for being y

Yes you can anonymize from one frontier lab, but you've just now created a new source of identification for all your inference: OpenRouter.

Yes, there's a present shortage of usable frontier compute, but that doesn't establish that every proposed data center will earn a decent return, or that today’s hardware + model architecture will remain economically competitive,

Ah, this from the same David Siegel who said almost 2 yrs ago (in a talk found here: https://youtu.be/0z60xUDo-NI?si=PTDe11-sn2P53qo5&t=420 ) that the AI data center buildout was premature because: > Even if the curre
