    Stunning to see so many comments here very eager to try it out and cheering for it. Meta is not one bit better (and in reality worse) than Larry Elisson or Palantir but I doubt we'…

    Hello Chinese models run by US providers. If they trust Chinese models run by US providers less than Meta then your employers are flat-earther level loonies.

    They're spending $100 billion on this stuff and they're worried about free trial signups ? Genuinely my opinion couldn't be lower about Meta's AI strategy but even I don't believe …

    It's a little of the opposite to what you're saying. By performance you seem to mean only "intelligence" i.e. pass rate. But there's a 3rd factor, time to task completion. So it's …

    It has been more competitive than any other LLMs by non-US/CN companies. Including Korean and Japanese models in case you want to bring those up.

    If you truly believe that Gaza would be entirely rubble as it is today without the last 2 decades of slavish US backing, I don't know what to tell you. US is also best friends with…

    Agreed, this ended around the rise of Assembly. Machine code or bust!

    Do they not have cowork? This is so exemplary for why Anthropic has been focusing on Cowork and why OpenAI has now copied them with "Codex in ChatGPT App".

    "Intelligence" being what, math? Coding? Unfortunately there's a billion use cases for LLMs whose performance is not at all captured by the popular benchmarks they're all trying to…

    No, it is not. This is a common misconception that the large companies are very happy about. 1. The century-old Ford decision wasn't about this. It was about him refusing to pay di…

    Of course not, this makes no sense. It's the opposite, most of LLM generated apps are indeed uninteresting, yet it's not inherent at all. Most photos, most drawings, most human-wri…

    It is. There are many people on here who think of having any LLM generated, never-human-reviewed code in the codebase, as vibecoding. There are also people like you, who believe it…

    Yes and no. Let's first settle on the definition of vibecoding so that we're not miscommunicating over definitions. I'm using the one that seems the median definition nowadays: >95…
