    This is a nightmare for students that don't think on their feet.

    No, its that going from $2k/mo to $20/mo is not worth the capability loss in the slightest, because AI just isn't a big part of our fixed costs.

    Expecting profit during hypergrowth is silly

    Dario doesn't have a problem with open weights, he just thinks that open weights should be tested prior to release so you aren't giving everyone a zero-day button or a "make a viru…

    I use Kimi K3, Opus 5, and Fable on a daily basis. Fable is the only one that reliably one shots complex changes and makes the right design choices. Everything else requires handho…

    Not much. 0.04% of US water production. For context, that's about 3% of the water consumption of our golf courses, and less than 1% of what we use to water our lawns.

    White collar work will require SOTA models up until the point where said models can automate white collar work entirely. Then, we might finally see a meaningful commoditization cru…

    This is just pure histrionics, you have no understanding whatsoever of the scale of data center water consumption, electricity consumption, new capacity coming online, etc.

    This stuff is just obvious to anyone working with the latest models. Fully autonomous agents are a game changer. Having to pair program with one is indeed "last gen", I haven't don…

    Unless you are very cash strapped, Fable is a very nominal fixed cost compared to the benefit of what it offers (fully autonomous agents, and no longer needing to pair program with…

    I work for a FAANG, and have my own personal projects for which I use the Chinese models. and the big models do indeed save/make us a lot of money. The Chinese models are not good …

    I think HN doesn't really understand fixed costs, I spend a few hundred dollars per day on Fable and the costs are irrelevant compared to what we make.

    They are communicating that they have reached AGI in order to create a trail of documentation for the Microsoft legal battle

    I use K3 a lot, it is far behind Fable imo. For personal projects I use Kimi and for anything that matters I use Fable.

    Opus 5 is amazing if you use it as an autonomous agent as opposed to a pair programmer. It's like Fable at a much lower price.

    It seems pretty obvious that the solution is auto mode (running a classifier on each action) + sandboxing

    Surprised no one is talking about auto mode, it solves this problem.

    Capital hoards benefits because resource scarcity and cost of production are a thing Post scarcity societies would likely have entirely different dynamics

    I think death, and most extreme pain/suffering should be optional. Superintelligence, if done safely, lets us solve most of our problems.

    HN was definitely using "stochastic parrot" throughout most of 2024 and a good half of 2025 to dismiss AI capabilities.

    I don't trust them, they are probably distilling on your data.
