Pretty wild to say that the company with one of the best models (arguably the best) is a bunch of idiots.

> Pretty wild to say that the company with one of the best models (arguably the best) is a bunch of idiots. It would be pretty wild if they didn't considering all the money thrown at them! You're looking at one of the largest investments business (as a collective) has ever made. They had better be one of the forerunners in the space :-/

And you think with all of this money they are employing idiots?

What kind of work are you applying Opus and other LLMs to? I'm quite curious to understand how other people are using these tools. At the moment neither Opus nor any open weights models seem to be capable of doing complex work, and for less complex work the additional cost of Opus hasn't been worthwhile. This is for reasonably math-heavy computer vision applications. What LLMs have been useful for is identifying forg…

My current job has me overseeing a few teams of engineers working on ~10+ y/o legacy software systems that have not been especially well maintained. As an example, one team had a completely broken CI pipeline due to numerous flaky tests. They had configured the CI pipeline to rerun tests multiple times and still the master branch had like.. a 40% pass rate. Super ugly, but the suite took ~40 minutes to run and they w…

Those were super fascinating and inspiring to read! Thank you

They're completely vibe-coding one of their flagship products. It's not unreasonable to consider that the people who took that decision are, indeed, idiots.

Even idiots can succeed if you uncritically funnel them hundreds of billions of dollars.

You can't just burn money in a pit to get the best AI model out. Undoubtedly some of the smartest people in the world are working on frontier AI.

I used the term "smuggling" in the casual sense of hiding something. I have edited it to "place such identifiers surreptitiously" to avoid making whatever implication appears to have been taken.

In the real world, leaving booby traps out that can harm others including the innocent are a liability and regularly a crime in itself. I wonder how long these sorts of games will play before the law applies itself.

I'm not leaving boody traps. I have the right to talk about OpenClaw or even to write the anti antropic string. I didn't delete you token usage or charge you extra boxes. Antropic did.

If tomorrow Antropic decide to charge you extra if you interact with someone who talked badly about them, I'm still in my right to talk shit about them.

I strongly dislike all of these companies (and the people who run them), and I don't love LLMs in general, although I use them every day because they are useful for my job. But the simple fact is, if you're paying $20/mo and using $200/mo of tokens, that is not going to last forever. The only way to make it last a bit longer for the people with relatively sane usage patterns is to try and stop people absolutely takin…

That's not true, you're using RIAA-style wishful accounting here. If the company is willing to sell me $200 worth of tokens for $20, that's still worth only $20 to me.

The worth of something to you can be more or less than the number of dollars you paid for it. If those tokens let you build something that you sell for far more dollars or saves you time that you put more value on.
