Tesla is a car company with relatively small, and shrinking, sales, that is worth $1.5T on the promise of [Elons_Promise_of_the_Month]
You forgot to mention they solved vision based autonomous driving, but I guess that doesn’t matter if Elon = bad
OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation

#192There is not a single OpenAI model in the top 10 on openrouter's ranking page. The market is saying something about the comparative value of OpenAI. Edit: yes, it is true that many people do integrate directly with OpenAI. That doesn't negate the fact that Openrouter users are largely not using OpenAI.
OpenRouter claims "5M+" users; OpenAI is claiming >900M weekly active users.
I don't really think it's possible to learn anything about the broader market by looking at the OpenRouter model rankings.

#193Two economists were walking down the street when they spotted a giant dog turd on the ground. One of them wanted to have some fun, so said to the other - "I'll give you $100 if you take a big bite of that turd". His colleague figured $100 was a good chunk of cash, so did the deed. Feeling thoroughly humiliated, he pocketed the $100 and they carried on. Further down the street they came upon another turd. The angry ec…
The number is irrelevant. The fact is that work was done and was repaid with work. Money was just the means of the transaction.
surely that behavior leads to a good society and doesn't encourage nefarious behaviors

OpenAI has all the name recognition (which is worth a couple billion in itself), but when it comes to actual business use cases in the here and now Anthropic seems ahead. Even more so if we are talking about software dev. But they are valued at less than half of OpenAI's valuation What is somewhat justifying OpenAI's valuation is that they are still trying for AGI. They are not just working on models that work here a…
Obligatory reminder that today's so called "AGI" has trouble figuring out whether I should walk or drive to the car wash in order to get my dirty car washed. It has to think through the scenario step by step, whereas any human can instantly grok the right answer.

#195That's a pretty lofty valuation for a company that has yet to demonstrate code generation anywhere near Anthropic's models if they're leaning into the engineering angle.

I did upvote, it's witty, but it's a bit of a misrepresentation of how the economy works. In practice, people don't tend to pay people to eat shit without gain. You are paying people to help you. Money gaslights everyone into helping each other, the most selfish people become the most selfless. Of course, real capitalism is much more complex and much uglier than this fantasy. When certain people end up with long-term…
You scratch my back for a $10M IOU.
The debts cancel out.
How is the economic gain calculated?

I just don't know how to engage with these criticisms anymore. Do you not see how increasingly convoluted the "simple question LLMs can't answer" bar has gotten since 2022? Do the human beings you know not have occasional brain farts where they recommend dumb things that don't make much sense?
Not that dumb, no. That's why it's laughable to claim that LLMs are intelligent.
