Agreed. With steak, the main point is to let the quality of the meat speak for itself. Too much input from the cook and you just get in the way of this.

Absolutely. I don’t know how strong their case is or isn’t, BUT if you hire Jony Ive and a bunch of Apple device people in order to build something that is a threat to the “Apple t…

It seems like the widely-covered news stories that support OpenAI’s narratives originate from things that happened inside OpenAI. It wasn’t an outside benchmark evaluation, or an e…

And you need a rich person to do the exploiting. The power differential is a key ingredient.

> Can someone breakdown to me how this makes any sort of economical sense? Capital markets are excited by AI. By tying his rockets to AI with his vision of “orbital data centers”, …

Fair enough. I too use LLM coding tools all day everyday. If we’re specifically talking about the arguments in this thread, I have experienced both sides of the argument. Some use …

Somewhere, someone may be painting an equally reductive picture of you and your position. You two are obviously smart people, but have you considered that maybe you are unconscious…

> foreign labs Apparently not just foreign labs. It looks like xAI distilled Anthropic models to train grok. https://opentools.ai/news/xai-trained-coding-models-claude-o...

There are many possible futures, but the one that will come to pass is the one we collectively allow to happen. To a degree, of course. A future that I like to imagine is one where…

Similarly, xAI “attacked” Anthropic and OpenAI to train grok. https://opentools.ai/news/xai-trained-coding-models-claude-o...

I had a similar experience at a bank some time ago. To sign up, you had to sign a digital pad without seeing what you were signing first. You could get a copy mailed to you later. …

Tesla has a problem. Its sky-high valuation is based on the potential upside from “visionary” sci-fi future programs. However, the narratives are losing credibility. Once upon a ti…

If you apply Occam’s razor, this explanation stands out.

> "We need an approach to make sure AI doesn't destroy the world and wipe humanity to extinction." "Yeah, and quotas on web scrapers!" —— I see it as: “Let’s do a study on abstract…

I hate this kind of thing too, but realistically this is every newspaper/digital that I’ve subscribed to ever. In a way, I get it. The new media landscape has put traditional news …

An easy way out might be to just ask the candidate how they got from one step to another. That way you can differentiate between “toxic, so smart i can’t communicate” and “non-toxi…

When the author says “crimes”, I didn’t take it to mean a literal criminal enterprise, but instead casual-speak for something like “bad governance”. It’s like if you saw some bad p…

Sure, indiscriminate tokenmaxxing is a gamble that can pay off sometimes. However, I think that the decision to take any gamble should be made by someone who will bear responsibili…

That reads a bit like: an equal role in external politics, but not in internal church politics. It’s hard to have a role in politics if you don’t have a voice.
