I believe the author's thesis is that if they had invested in innovation over a couple decades, the product probably would have sucked less.

They had pretty drastic price cuts on Opus 4.5. It's possible they're now selling inference at a loss to gain market share, or at least that their margins are much lower. Dario cla…

Brand recognition that they're throwing away with a rebrand.

You're watching video podcasts while hiking or what's the weekend hike use case for more than 27 hours of video playback on a single charge?

Well how much of it is correlation vs causation. Does the next generation of model unlock another 10x usage? Or was Claude 3 "good enough" that it got traction from early adopters …

It's more like the patient needs some fixed amount of food each day and it doesn't make a lot of sense to create lots more food than they need on the hopes that someday they'll wan…

It's much more conservative in the scope of task it will attempt and it's much slower. You need to fire and forget several parallel tasks because you'll be waiting 10+ minutes befo…

If it's not astroturfing, the people who are so vocal about it act in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from it. I keep looking for concrete examples of use cases that show it'…

This kind of proves the point? Presumably your mother didn't buy the latest phone for "continuity" or camera improvements. The features and additional hardware improvements might b…

If you're able to generate minified code from all the code you can find on the internet, you end up with a very large training set. Of course in some scenarios you won't know what …

Because of how trivial that step is, it's likely pretty easy to just take lots of code and minify it. Then you have the training data you need to learn to generate full code from m…

> I can't understand the hate I think it's because of the promises of the team (new Large Action Model) vs what's actually being delivered (the model is some scripts). The team has…

It seems to be difficult to turn the pure research back into new products. Apple famously got lots of ideas for free from Xerox PARC. Google researchers wrote the Attention Is All …

No one has ever brought a native (not 3rd party) calculator to the iPad before. Apple is the first.

On device or in an Apple owned DC. It sounds like they have aspirations for their own Apple owned LLM. ChatGPT seems like it's there until they can get something good enough to gen…

They say it's going to be free forever with no subscription, but they have to pay for chatgpt API calls. Even if you forgive them for overhyping their chatgpt wrapper, they're stil…

If you know a great deal about what is right and wrong, and you choose to do something bad, that feels worse than being bad and not knowing any better.

For some people, the comments are the worst part of YouTube. I could see them being pretty vocal about not liking the design that makes them more visible.

Well the unit economics don't make any sense. You get unlimited free LLM calls forever? I don't really see the argument for it shipping too soon (although it is too soon for what t…

> I wonder if China or other countries will do the same for US apps now. China has been doing this for a very long time, to keep US apps out of the Chinese market (or forced IP tra…

If it means that I get to work with well commented and tested code, that might be worth it.

Zuck renamed the company Meta, partially because of a deep believe in the Metaverse (perhaps it's too early to call it, but it seems misguided) and partially because of massive amo…

OpenAI should make something so that people can enter their prompt and maybe even drop in a knowledge base and then share with anyone else who wants that functionality.
