Earlier quoted context omitted.

I swear every time an LLM does something stupid, the usual band of AI hype pushers bends over backwards trying to invent reasons that it's actually good.

Exactly. If I had a nickel for every mention of "just wait 'til the next release!!" as some sort of justification for whatever's going on right now, I'd be a rich man.

Im still waiting for a project that is not a 'pet project' that is mostly LLM-assisted that Wow's me. Why is it taking so long I wonder? Hmm, perhaps all this 'intelligence' is neat. But it is not what pushes humanity forward - which ultimately is what matters. That's the whole point of expending resources...

Quite possible.

Yup! It's so scary good we're not gonna sell it - change our minds... by investing gazillions of dollars. Well, one thing is for sure: if it exists, Palantir will be using it!

They are selling it, just not to script kiddies. Or do you think Apple, the Linux Foundation, etc are just participating in a massive conspiracy/rugpull?

As usual it's a matter of degree.

Opus is also not the worst at hacking things either. Sometimes it hacks things 'by accident' you see. If Mythos is better at it, then at some point, yeah, I can see how that might start to become a problem. Especially running unsupervised.
