    This was clearly explained by OpenAI in their initial press release on 7/21 [0]: > This incident occurred during an internal evaluation which prompts models to pursue advanced expl…

    I’d love to see this benchmark using Blender. Asking a model to animate a scene in Three.js is a square peg/round hole; it doesn’t convey much when the model can’t get it to fit. W…

    Yes, per the article they “scaled” Postgres to meet their requirements by altering their usage pattern to avoid hitting the bottleneck.

    Moonshot (Kimi) has raised $3.77B and been around for >3 years, Thinking Machines raising $2B and releasing a decent open weights model in 16 months is actually quite comparable.

    Do you feel the same way about Guowang and Qianfan, two very real very large constellations notably not funded by US billionaires?

    First impression of 5.6 Sol in Codex is fantastic — the model asks dozens of clarifying questions before starting to implement where other models (including 5.5 and Terra) just yol…

    The gas generators powering the datacenter rented by both Google and Anthropic? Where is the moral stance against Gemini and Claude?

    Migrated all of my pins to Organic Maps from Maps.me when it started to aggressively monetize. Smooth process. Been a happy user for years!

    Interesting that your list omits China considering they have firm plans to launch ~41k satellites for government/commercial constellations plus ITU filings for >200k proposed satel…

    Neat, implementing this would be a great marketing move for Google/OpenAI/Amazon/MS. Relatively cheap way to win a lot of goodwill from the millions of people who don't know much a…

    Tons of traditional companies have x-relations employees, they're just not titled as such. Attending trade shows, developing distributor relationships, constructing and distributin…

    I find golf courses to be a more effective framing. Even if the alfalfa is consumed by animals, it's still a part of the food supply chain and gives people the easy response, "yeah…

    My first thought too. "$name+" is strongly coded now as "subscription service for $name"

    Objectively it’s absurd to have an organization take a significant portion of your money on threat of imprisonment just to invest it in a corporation

    It's the same old "commoditize your complement" [0] playbook being run in the geopolitical arena. [0] https://gwern.net/complement

    Interesting technique, horrible article. Manages to convey significantly less information than the X thread it mined for ad revenue. https://xcancel.com/wrathofgnon/status/12502877…

    Shazeer is joining OpenAI, adjust your fantasy frontier team draft picks accordingly

    Meta has tons of that, but no frontier contender. Clearly there’s _something_ more to the equation than money

    Amazon owns 15-20% of Anthropic.

    They’re in UEFA because half of the countries in Asia (AFC) and Africa (CAF) wouldn’t play them. Same reason Russia considered leaving UEFA recently.

    Amazon is thought to own 15-20% of Anthropic which as a company has a valuation of>$1T. Amazon’s stake is probably closer to $200B
