I dropped my claude subscription a few months ago, though I kept some credits to do this and that with claude, thinking that claude might do better for some tasks. A few days ago they were all expired. It feels like it’s time to let claude go.

Wise decision.

So they’re copying Gemini with the whole star motif? I guess it makes sense they are unoriginal. like Zuck, @sama never invented anything or innovated at all - just took other people’s ideas

"distilling"... ;)

openai vs anthropic. that's it right? anyone else?

It's more like OpenAI vs no one, at this point. Anthropic has shown they don't care about general consumers or small/med businesses. You can't even use their models without it giving refusals on the most mundane tasks.

“Humanity’s Last Exam”?

“ARC-AGI-3”?

Is your bullshit detector going wild? Good, it’s working!

How is this not the most cringe marketing strat in history???

Anthropic in tears today.

Anthropic don't care, they don't want their products to be used by general audiences in any serious manner. Their interest is in selling to megacorps and using the models for themselves internally to swallow industry, and drumming up AI fear to regulatory capture to shut down the businesses that do want to make AI accessible to the people.

I have nothing to say about the actual model, but unrelated--why do so many of these demos include people buying things autonomously? Even if I did trust an AI to get everything right, it's not like the AI can read my mind. If I was ordering food normally and without AI, I would want more control over the process--looking over the options, prices, thinking about what I really want. People don't know what they really…

Despite access to """"""AGI""""""" all the marketing teams at these companies can only dream up 2 things, buying plane tickets and online shopping autonomously. Sometimes they're feeling extra spicy and throw in sorting emails or something along those lines. I suspect it's because it's tailored towards VCs and other similar rich ghouls as a replacement for their overworked and underpaid secretaries

I feel like there are so many cloistered people at these companies that they are left scratching their heads about what normies even want. Like, they literally can't fathom basic stuff that isn't just highly consumer-oriented. I dunno, like applying for government services, paying your gas/elec bill without being confused af, keeping the dr up to date with your dad's illness, or how to get your newborn to sleep at 2am.

“allowing non-technical people to create and play custom games that go beyond rudimentary elements” Proceeds to generate the most generic, rudimentary, and unoriginal clone of Mario Kart

I came in first place by a mile just holding the gas button. Not much if a “game” but I guess the elements are there.

Why is everyone so excited to be replaced and become reliant on some billionaire's thinking machine? These are just going to be used to turn you into a rather dumb reliant paypig.

That's a policy and distribution problem, not an AI problem. Anthropic is doing their best to make it a reality though. They'd love nothing more than to shut down distribution and become the sole gatekeeper of everything AI.
