India thrives in high tech sectors that are ironically export controlled by the rest of the world. That’s the primary reason the talent in those domains stays back. As for the rest…

OpenAI will just put the employees involved under the bus. They can claim the information acquired wasn't used for OpenAI's benefit or authorization especially since the device isn…

Eh probably easier ways to do this. Just sanction all entities that release open weight models for "illegal distillation". Enough to cross the risk threshold for most businesses in…

A lot of Anthropic’s moves make sense if you follow the LessWrong / rationalist community writings on AI safety. A lot of it is distilled in Ant’s blogs and leadership interviews a…

You raise good points and these would make sense under normal circumstances. But none of this matters if AI offers infinite leverage and America hoards all the compute and talent. …

I humbly accept it's very difficult to game this out with any degree of confidence, especially as other countries deploy more resources. But the questions about viability of the la…

I'm assuming this is popular because of Fable restrictions. AFAIK, open source is not excluded from ITAR / EAR restrictions (or other export restriction in other countries). So the…

> We saw some of this behavior in the last administration too. US voters deserve better. With due respect, this take is very deluded. US voters have very little to lose if the tech…

To the rest of the world, US aggression is perceived as oppressive and unilateral primarily because it’s a political act meant to further domestic political goals. All US administr…

those are some massive actuators on those joints

Brakes are being added to actuators but they're more useful for static holds / locking than dynamic balancing. Standing even in humans is a dynamic balancing activity.

You evaluate the merits of the content? From a high-level systems pov, the article is largely correct, even if some details might be missed / simplified

I feel the same until I’m reminded I’m paying Anthropic $100 every month for something that’s indispensable to me now and would probably pay a lot more. Very inelastic demand as lo…

3/3.1 Pro appears to have knowledge about eccentric topics with no obvious sources that often turns out to be right. It does hallucinate a lot though, and is the most affected by c…

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is the drug of first choice for addressing pain and fever, in India at least. To the extent that it's regularly abused, and I know people who have been …

Yeah it's weird, almost like we're seeing two cults form in real-time. I imagine there's a benign explanation too - the intelligence of these models is very spiky and I have found …

They have several levers for demand destruction. From Anthropic's POV, I suspect this is least to worst bad - reducing the surface area of "acceptable use" (e.g., blocking third-pa…

> Every single one of them oversells their capacity Indeed. And this model breaks in several cases that overlaps with the current AI business model: - marginal cost of incremental …

The only logical step for Anthropic now is to buy the Dwarkesh Patel podcast

I tried ls20 and it was surprisingly fun! Just from a game design POV, these are very well made. Nit: I didn't see a final score of how many actions I took to complete 7 levels. Al…

Gaming this out for peer adversaries is mostly moot, right? The post-Cold War strategic balance has mostly hung on MAD. And Russia, in particular, has responded to any attempt at b…

Reflected inertia does scale as the square of the gear ratio but it's a bit misleading unless you also consider the change in rotor inertia, which scales as a cube of the rotor rad…

I agree it is pretty awesome!
