Yes, but isn't football already overly commercialised? Why is advertising for sports betting or alcohol any better than the FIFA issue? UEFA should take a look at itself, too.

Yet another band aid.

Nice summary. Reading this reminds me about the strong encryption discussion. > We optimize what we can measure, not what we actually want to achieve. We hope and pray that these a…

Maintaining support for Windows is free?

"We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future." Sounds like 'never' to me.

Must be retail investors believing: big number == good.

So good SEO will require prompt injection now?

I strongly doubt it will even provide us with a roof over our heads. In an unconstrained market, the pressure to extract as much as possible from the UBI will be enormous. The amou…

Those price increases will increase the pressure to use cheaper / free models (commoditization), thus cutting into the revenue projections of the frontier model vendors. Its going …

Isn't alignment a dilemma? Because what is aligned, how and for whom? And who decides how that alignment should look like? There are probably many domains in which required alignme…

Compute in science was already subsidized by public funding or by donations. Most supercomputers are financed this way. And that's a good thing. If you have a good science problem …

Did I praise our animal agriculture anywhere?

"After 16 minutes and 41 seconds, it came back" ... "further 47 minutes and 39 seconds" ... "After 13 minutes and 33 seconds" ... "After 9 minutes and 12 seconds" ... "After 31 min…

I wonder how this figure was settled. Is it based on consumer pricing? Can't Microsoft and OpenAI just make a number up, aside from a minimum to cover operating costs? When is the …

Also funny how people (including LLM vendors, like Cursor) think that rules in a system prompt (or custom rules) are real safety measures.

Is 'refactoring Markdown files' already a thing?

True. I didn't expect it to provide novel designs. Maybe Anthropic should find a better replacement for 'Design'. In my example, I expected it to create UI elements for a business …

Good for crunching out some prototypes, ideas and getting inspirations I guess. Two prompts - the initial one and one refinement - took about ten minutes and used up 90% of the tok…

They are trying to optimize the circus trick that 'reasoning' is. The economics still do not favor a viable business at these valuations or levels of cost subsidization. The amount…

I can slow down the compute by a factor of a thousand. It would not change the result. But it changes the economics. We only call it intelligent, because we can do the backpropagat…

I don't trust anyone who claims that LLMs today are superhumanly intelligent. All they do is perform compute-intensive brute-force attacks on the problem/solution space and call it…

Axel's engagement with the issue and refusal to give up is admirable. It also demonstrates that code and architecture remain important even in an era when managers believe these su…

"Vibe prompting"

So when Anthropic releases a new model that "breaks compatibility" with some Markdown files, do we call it "refactoring" to find (guess) the required changes to have the desired ou…

Simply insane.
