If this means alexa isn't a pet rock that can only reliably set timers, good for them.

I've been using the claude model over the past months and I have to say I usually prefer it over ChatGPT. Some things that impressed me particular are: * It can often give you working urls of images related to your query. (e.g. give me some images to use with this blog paragraph). * It can list relevant publications corresponding to paragraphs, chatgpt often halucinates new papers but claude consistenly gives highly…
You didn't say which version of GPT you prefer it over. My experience of Claude hasn't been good at all - I get obvious hallucinations all the time. Whereas I get pretty consistent accurate results with GPT-4. I just tried again now and asked it about HTMX and Django since I had just been reading an article about it. Claude invented a package called `htmx.django` and a decorator that could be imported called `@hx_req…
So does anyone know how this works out with Googles investment a few months back?: Announcement "Anthropic Partners with Google Cloud" Feb 3, 2023 - https://www.anthropic.com/index/anthropic-partners-with-goog... "...Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, has selected Google Cloud as its cloud provider. The partnership is designed so that the companies can co-develop AI computing systems; Anthropic will levera…

Not good for a company to receive funds from investors that we now know stole and grifted from their customers. Wonder if this company is all just smoke and mirrors at this point. Never heard of this company prior to the Amazon investment. Kind of reminds me of the Amazon and Rivian partnership. This nobody EV company gets an investment from Amazon, interest/hype boosts potential revenue/preorders. Valuations spike t…
Anthropic is known for having a model with a context nearly 3x that of ChatGPT. You must not be following LLMs very closely
I’be been walking around with the (seemingly misguided) view that the bigger LLaMA 2 models were sort of neck and neck with like 3.5-turbo, Claude, and the rest of the first string modulo GPT-4 that had a pretty steady if eroding lead.
What’s the lay of the land in 9/23? Or better yet, what do I need to bookmark to get the inside baseball?
For those who don’t know, Anthropic has an interesting list of investors: - Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO/Chairman), Series A - Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX), lead investor in Series B - Caroline Ellison (FTX), Series B - Google, Series C https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/anthropic/company_fi... ——— Question: why isn’t Anthropic using Google Cloud, given who their past investors include?

They are basically the only direct competitor to OA.
Google Deepmind exists. All 3 are trying to build a generalist AI agent, as opposed to the more specialised models of say CharacterAI or inflection.
Is there a comeback story here? IIRC they’ve still got Dean and Hassabis and a bunch of other bruisers, along with arbitrary financing, the best training sets, and novel compute.
Is it time to put Hassabis in charge and start making Ilya and Karpathy offers they can’t refuse?

I’m no fan of the people you’re talking about myself. But once we start going down that road we run smack on into companies with like the sovereign wealth fund in Riyadh or (to my embarrassment) Thiel or any number of people who make SBF look like the clueless, entitled, amoral but ultimately strictly small-change knucklehead he is. There are some truly scary people invested in important companies. Do we hold all the…
We need to understand that society only values who moves first. The early bird gets the worm. If they want to play the game, they need to raise funds from people who truly understand power and money, regardless of the human cost.

Edit: For those not understand what I'm referencing, Amazon is currently trying to get out of owning their Seattle offices, and are using "get back to the office" tactics to harass workers into leaving so they can dump the real estate at loss: https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/unpacking-amazons-steal...
It isn't about their global payroll spend dwarfing the $4B. Its about having a sense of ethics and a grasp of math.

Siri has been helpful for increasing my 3-year-old's vocabulary: he'll ask it to play a song he knows, and Siri will pick out an explicit R&B piece full of all sorts of words he's never been exposed to. (Seriously -- there's a song with the title "The ABC Song", which as one might expect, is about the ABCs. But it's impossible to get it to play that via voice control; it only wants to play "abcdefu", which is not the…
I asked Siri today about the current week number (in German), and it failed. Just when I thought I've lowered my expectations enough, Siri can do one "better".
