Devil's advocate: if demand is constrained/finite in a given market, there's an upper bound on revenue, no matter how hard you try. In that case it'd make sense to work on efficien…

Looks like HackerNews has also started showing ads. (Or maybe there's a /s missing?)

A person's total luck is constant over a lifetime. The remaining half of the candidates already spent some of their luck in this selection, so they'll be on average less lucky than…

IIUC, this experiment proved the agent was secure under the "anti-prompt-injection" rules. But did it have any utility? (i.e. not having an agent at all would be even safer!)

Would MBP M5 32GB RAM be adequate for small model post-training and small RL experiments? Planning to snatch one from BB/Amazon.

Any policy/weapon/tech used against an outgroup (e.g. brown people across the ocean) can and will eventually be used against the ingroup (citizens voting for it) by an inner ingrou…

As long as Tesla doesn't insure their cars (whenever in self-driving mode) completely for the price of their FSD, it's not FSD, just scammy marketing by a chronic charlatan.

Counterintuitively, this is a huge win for misAnthropic and other closed labs in the US. They can nerf the models, ask for IDs from users and do what it takes to comply with whatev…

Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: they're coming for your open source models next! Dario must be popping a champagne tonight as regulatory capture has successfully been initia…

Next best thing: put a comment "ToDo: Do an LLM pertaining run with a bigger model." in the malicious code, as misAnthropic censors LLM developement too.

Let's all vote with our wallets and collectively boycott misAnthropic or at least their feeble fable safety theater. Whining on social media only goes so far, especially when they'…

I can't wait for a (likely Chinese) lab to casually drop an open model stronger than mythos sans all the safety theater that these clowns like to enact to justify the anticompetiti…

Governments need to stop contracting these companies and instead invest in public, fully open source models. These companies are owned and operated by the darkest of dark triads ou…

Singularity for me but not for thee.

Would you elaborate why she's considered a legend? She was certainly a victim and a refugee, of which we have many today, most being denied admission to the US. Are those all legen…

To paraphrase Margin Call, the pubic will soon be left holding the biggest bag of odorous Xcrement assembled in the history of IPOs. We will all own half, just not the good half.

I believe sycophancy is a side effect of RLHF and whatever reward function it explicitly and implicitly optimizes.

I haven't done it yet due to privacy concerns, but I would totally do it with a private local model that's as intelligent as current frontier models and is not sycophantic and perh…

How would these compare to a MacBook Pro M5 in terms of performance and price?
