I know you said no details, but can you at least share a little bit more about Claude LLM's code generation?

There is a language with massive usage in the enterprise but with very few (if any) high quality code examples on the public internet. When given a broad task, GPT4 doesn’t just write incorrect code, it tries to do entire categories of things the language literally cannot do because of the ecosystem it runs inside. Claude does a much better job writing usable code, but more importantly it does NOT tell you to do thin…

It's because NSFW content has higher risks of chargeback and fraud (there's a reason their payment processors charge 20%+). Besides, companies don't want to be on the bad side of outrage; it only takes one mistake of processing a payment for child pornography and your name will be plastered everywhere as a child porn enabler. Do you really think the execs at Visa and Mastercard are puritans and not profiteering capit…

The whole US society seems more puritan while more capitalist at the same time, seen from this side of the pond. It’s a paradox I can’t really explain, any clues?

The counter argument is that it's a growing market where any early entrants will be lifted with the tide and can probably yield enough profit from spillover hype for investors to make their investments back.

That’s an argument, but I don’t buy it. Models are a commodity. You don’t get VC valuations and returns from raising $5B for a grain startup. The application of AI to business problems will be lucrative, but the models are just a tool and the money will come from the domain-specific data (i.e. user and business data), which Microsoft, Google, and even Meta are positioned for. Having a slightly better model but no cus…

If its THE exponential curve of AGI, every day not invested, will result in years behind in a few months. So these are rather small investments, but still bigger then the "to little to late" of the european union. Its not very visual or intuitive, but in some games, were the resource curve is exponential, small early headstarts become whole armies, were the opponent fields none in very short time. Especially as AGI i…

The real limiting factor of AGI is not going to be AGI -- it's going to be everything else. Digitization of the last mile (instrumentation, feedback), local networking, local compute, business familiarity with technology, standardized processes, regulatory environment, etc. AGI will happen when it happens. But if it happens and an economy doesn't have all the enabling prerequisites, it's not going to have time to dev…

It's trivial to fine tune llamma to be NSFW if that's what you want. But there's an entire universe of much more interesting apps that people don't want NSFW stuff in. That's why most foundation models filter it out.

the point is though the market potential is huge. and it would be a way to grow fast with cash flow. as a side effect you would probably develop the best NSFW filter in the world also.
