#342I used 1.2 for free for a while, and it was a pretty good experience. 1.3 would also be worth using, provided the price is reasonable.

#343llm -m meta-ai/muse-spark-1.3 "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... 4.2266 cents, 38 seconds. For comparison here's Muse Spark 1.2, which animated it without me asking it to: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht... The 1.3 one is definitely better - better bicycle frame, better wing, better pelican hat. UPDATE: Here's an…

There are still job interviews?

I interviewed as a software developer at LinkedIn. The interviewer asked me to demonstrate my prompting skills, so I had AI write an article about what the recent death of my father taught me about B2B SaaS. Reading it brought tears to his eyes so he hired me on the spot.
Is this for real
I think it’s Memorex.

You should really spam that link here to show your dad’s memory lives on.

Security vulnerability capability is not the only thing they're scare-mongering about. They're the biggest purveyors of the, "We think the little guy in the computer who is made of algebra might be a real live boy and he might want to kill all of humanity when he grows up," line of alarmism.
That's ok to think at this point, given the trajectory of the last few years. Certainly it's one of those things where erring (marginally and slightly) on the side of being safe about it is better than the alternative.
I think where you and I disagree is on whether Anthropic is especially trustworthy on the "safety" front, more trustworthy than various other labs, especially those that produce open models, for example. I simply don't trust Amodei more than I trust, say, Liang Wenfeng. I'm not saying I trust any of them, particularly, I am saying that if a few billionaires have access to this technology, I want access to this technology. The tech billionaires have shown they'll use it for surveillance and control. Amodei is saying it is "safe" to let billionaires and fascist regimes use this tech, but not you and me.
So, yes, LLMs have now proven to be extremely good at finding vulnerabilities. Where I disagree with Amodei is in who should have the ability to protect themselves from those capabilities with similarly powerful tools.

The more generic your prompt, the more generic the response. It's a regression to the "mean" of the training data aka GIGO for AI. It's like when you ask your average person off the street to draw a house - it'll almost always be square with a triangle roof, one door, and two windows. In the pelican/bike example, it's probably a bit of a self-perpetuating snowball too. If the earliest examples were bike left-to-right…
Well, all the LLMs are being trained on previous pelicans, so they look the same.
It’s pelicans, all the way down.

#349Practically free for "contributors" at 0.2 usd/mtok. That's going to be hard to say no to for hobbyists.
they key pricing is cache reads at $0.002 per M (same as old deepseeek v4 flash prices)
Re: Muse Spark 1.3
#350Gemini 3.8 Flash still looks like the better pick to me. Muse Spark 1.3 is nice, but Gemini gets you similar performance for a cheaper price. Not to mention with the pace at which Google is moving with their Flash models I expect a new one to release soon
