I'm not arguing the merits of such a ban, I'm simply stating a fact - that thinking transcripts likely won't return until such a ban is in place.

If distilled models were commercially banned they'd probably be willing to show the thinking again.

People's voluntary dietary choices cause far more suffering and ecological damage than AI, and for much less return or economic output. But you tell people to switch to plant based foods and they lose their shit.

I assure you that voluntary meat consumption because "taste buds go brr" is a much bigger problem than AI that results in actual productivity gains (and potentially solve the very climate crisis you complain about.)

Normies don't know what an "Anthropic" is. They use ChatGPT. Particularly sharp normies might know that ChatGPT is made by OpenAI, and the sharpest might know that Sam Altman is the CEO. Now, they may have heard the word &q

I reevaluated my priors long ago when I saw that scaling laws show no sign of stopping, no sign of plateau. Strangely some people on HN seem to desperately cling to the notion that it's all going to come to a halt. This is unscientific

The bitcoins won't move until the technology is commoditized (ie well past mainstream usage by the government.) Having PQ and your adversaries not knowing is far more valuable than the few hundred billion you could get from cracking (a

If that is your threat model (it isn't for 99.999% of people), you can set up your own email domain for few bucks a year and it takes 20 minutes. Now no one can debank you and take away your ability to go to baseball games simply by ki

You can certainly get a smartphone from another company and run AOSP. But the problem isn't that this guy didn't want to use a smartphone, it's that he literally has never bothered to learn. Why should society cater to those

You are suspicious because you probably haven't worked anywhere that's AI-first. Anyone that's worked at a modern tech company will find this absolutely believable. Like what, you expect Nicholas to test each vuln when he has

No a normal user is not shelling out to Claude Code 24/7, but OpenClaw certainly is. OpenAI will soon do the same thing, don't be delusional.

Oh nooo, labor might be automated and we might see advancement that makes the Industrial Revolution look small! Oh, the humanity! Please someone, stop progressing humanity, I need to cling to my sticks!

It's not accelerationist, it's just fact. Not saying we shouldn't be careful with AGI. But the glib tone of "who cares if these companies die?" is where one needs to consider the consequences of AGI not happening or

it's not about the companies, what a myopic viewpoint every delay to AGI results in deaths that AGI could have prevented. we are talking millions of deaths for, say, just a year's delay.

You have a very poor understanding of LLMs if you think that is the frontier today. Maybe in 2024 it was.

Sure, AI progress comes to a halt then as everyone switches to the copycats that can't innovate, and the frontier companies are bled dry.

Paying different amounts for different regions is not being an asshole. Virtually every company on the planet does regional CoL adjustments. And get a grip - you are free to bring value to the world in your way if you're not happy to b

I guess I'm not seeing the "hype and bullshit." Here is the Opus 4.6 press release. Which claims specifically read as "hype and bullshit" to you? https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-6

Why do you think this is hype when they were right about 4.5 and 4.6? SWEs using 4.6 barely ever write code anymore at my big tech.
