    They launched their model a week ago, completely closed, selling an endpoint. Then when nobody bought, they "open" sourced it. Ok.

    This reads similar to a politician saying "I was hacked!" when embarrassing texts leak.

    TLDR: content is AI generated whether you think it is, or not. https://news.adobe.com/news/2026/06/creators-toolkit-report-... https://manuscriptreport.com/data/ai-publishing-stati…

    Actions matter more than words. Sure, they're complaining about AI, but consuming AI content more and more. It's a bit like people who complain that everything on the news is alway…

    Things are constantly changing. For example, a new building might have two or three tenants, so entire floors can be skipped. But then five years later, the whole building is full.…

    I don't get it. We're snobs about facts being more accurate? In a system that is innocent before guilty, more accuracy favors the person.

    Now imagine dumping the corpus of this case into an LLM and asking it to find discrepancies. I'll bet your bollocks to a barn dance that it'd point out the extra underscore. This i…

    That's a good point, but this isn't just one student; it's EVERY student (oh god I sound like AI)

    I'm not disputing that students cheat using AI, and that professors catch them and enact consequences. But this video is a little suspicious. The fact that none of the 32 students …

    My point was that it was critiquing a development process from 2023 in 2026, regardless of the term used.

    All of these complaints are about humans making user-hostile decisions, not AI. And software quality is not a reflection of its code quality. Never has been.

    So OpenAI calling Anthropic out on their fear based marketing is an unqualified statement? Have -any- of Anthropic's concerns of imminent disaster passed muster?

    The most important prompt lesson everyone should take away: never ask yes / no / leading questions. Almost all of Tao's questions begin with what, or why. That forces an open ended…

    I was simply responding to the point that Anthropic has some altruistic bent and are trying to downplay the fear, when in fact their entire commercial strategy is to convince socie…

    Define "winning." Open source is cheap, yet its operating systems are the least-popular. But their existence is critical to a healthy market. It's not zero sum. What you're describ…

    As someone who just used computer use to successfully perform a "change of address" across 52 different services, hard disagree. It's magic.

    No way. It's simply another layer of abstraction. You don't code in binary, or assembly, or C, or vanilla JavaScript anymore. Eventually "coding" will simply be prompting skill wit…
