I grew up in a forested area. Anything more than a couple hundred feet away feels off or unreal. Deserts and mountains are surreal, like a painting.

Inkling is in the ballpark

Flock is definitely not the only provider of this kind of surveillance. What is the real reason that this is getting so much media attention?

You could have made exactly the same critique in 2021. Microsoft has been selling the same OS since the 90s and it just gets worse.

So he spends his time working on a hobby project and is completely supported by the charity of others? Do you see where I’m going with this?

The man is running a slide deck in front of his colleagues that is full of crude graphics, memes, and, I guess some anime or something. It’s an unserious talk given by an unserious…

Bizarre in the sense of mostly performative tit for tat strikes instead of some kind of serious strategy to win and to win for good. And in the case of Iran, the strikes are telegr…

I think for the value of the outputs that’s still a good deal. Keeping the same price as the prior model makes sense to me. That is if the model size is about the same in the cost …

My pet theory is that none of the Chinese labs are releasing open weight models for humanitarian reasons. I believe the Chinese government has made a cynical policy decision that A…

Yes. They’re flawed, but you don’t want a global police state administered by the PRC.

If you think the number of US AI lab employees feeding information back to the homeland is zero, you’re terribly naive. There is the kind of money on the table people will absolute…

Training data that’s still sitting in the pages of a book is not really all that useful.

So if you were to imagine the second largest economy in the world, governed by a monolithic politburo, with a long history of barely concealed programs of corporate and academic es…

Appealing to the Belsheviks for moral authority is, well I will just say an interesting approach. I do not have that much sympathy for Anthropic, but I do not have much sympathy fo…

Microsoft is IBM. Google is Microsoft. OpenAI is Google. Apple is Apple.

Sometimes. It depends on the task. $15/Mtok is still a lot cheaper than human written code. It’s probably worth spending more for contract reviews. Tasks don’t have uniform value. …

“The honest headline:” Written by Claude. Ugh. If it’s worth publishing, it’s worth proofreading, folks.

“Asshole non-technical people” You mean the people creating actual business value in every industry where software isn’t the product? Speak not unless spoken to, Mr. cost-center!

I think one of the more sober analysis that focused on danish firms exclusively predicted the overall growth impact on GDP to be a bit less than half a percent. Now, well that does…

The token quota is completely unpredictable and changes month to month. Anthropic has a real penchant for riding the fine line of useful and dark patterns that make me want to writ…
