This is consistent with his premise. See, the title says it: incentives are for losers. If you're already a winner you can escape from incentives. No contradiction.

They were famous for committing to buying compute with future money that many people thought they would go bankrupt. Anthropic was afraid of going bankrupt and didn't do the same.

Quantum mechanics is pretty fundamental but you wouldn't use it to describe a rock rolling down hill either.

A more concise explanation is that, computation is the transformation of information. Any transformation of information is computation, and is thus subject to some theory of comput…

That's true for Sony, but Nintendo doesn't sell the Switch at a loss.

I suppose the point is that Mythos was released to a smaller set of partners anyway and Fable is for the masses.

"I know this" is different from "I know you know this", which is different from "You know I know this", which is still different from "you know I know you know this"

You're right that I jumped the gun and the analogy is not accurate. The point where they are similar is that you have the prefix as context as you try to type out the next word; it…

A bit tough to say this, but transformers are trained the same way.

>I'm comfortable calling MiniMax the more eager model in this set because that claim is backed by the artifacts, not by vibe. It repeatedly reached for locks, persistence, policy o…

Whatever you're already able to do, you can do it better with more time.

At this point letting an agent go like this is akin to not leashing your dog in public. It's not easy to draw an accurate line but probably there needs to be real punishment for do…

If there's a viable way to make all projects low-stakes we'd have done it. Consider this: microservices.

I suspect this will be a significant problem blocking long-horizon tasks in practice, basically the more turns there are, the larger the chance the classifier produces a false posi…

Or kids. Or work.

It's clear to me they are subsidizing inference in exchange for market share, and doing it at this scale makes the most sense if their target is getting more user data. Note that t…

The development and acquisition of valuable domain knowledge is a hard, risky, expensive and slow process. Because the valuable domain knowledge isn't yesterday's, it's today's and…

This is a lot tamer than what Claude Code's team claims tbf.

If the problem resolves to P=NP, that result would probably be more celebratee than being able to formulate the problem, but being able to formulate the problem and get people inte…

Right, you could disagree on which things to prioritize over dollar profits. My main point is that these preferences are not irrational like was asserted. At the scale of a soverei…

SpaceX is headed by a person who is a strong ally of a politician who openly challenges Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland. Guess you wouldn't mind selling your organs to the sam…

An article with a title saying tokens per second throughput without any qualifier e.g. what size the model is should immediately be classified as spam.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is not good at coding in practice. Gemini 3.1 Pro too, in particular is known to be bad at tool calls. Many companies would love to have alternatives to Claude Cod…

China will make sure they have a frontier lab, there's plenty of chance for Google to catch up once the compute crunch gets more serious.
