I feel that more people would understand Anthropic's worldview if they read more of the public source material. Sure it is a cult, but it they have been relatively transparent with their views: https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace#basic...

> Let’s say every company gets about three innovation tokens. You can spend these however you want, but the supply is fixed for a long while.

This is one of my favorite blog posts, and it can basically be encapsulated in the idea of "innovation tokens." It is one of the most useful concepts I have had as a PM / eng leader in my career. It helps actually make the the right tradeoffs, and helps even more in explaining those tradeoffs to colleague of all levels. Highly recommend.

> You built AGI on Mar 15, 2033. Ada built superintelligence on Aug 12, 2033.

Pretty fun. A little one-dimensional but a good insight into how a VC thinks about RSI. My second attempt was almost exactly the same outcome as the first, despite a different capital allocation.

These used to be 50 cents a piece at my high school library. What a joy it was to have a tiny simple way to transport essays (and pixel art and other fun things) to and from school and amongst all the school computers.

Seems like an artifact of the subagent pattern which is explicitly included in recent models.

I think one day it will relatively plateau and then these approaches will be meaningful improvements in performance. But yes, pointless for now.

I would put Reply and Report on the same line as the poster anon username, to condense even more

This is awesome! Feedback would be to increase the visual density of the posts / replies (taking from HN or Reddit) because right now there's a lot of space between each line.

Unfortunately it is a necessary compromise, because free speech is essential to a working civilization.

I think your reasoning is actually more complex than the person you are responding to, unfortunately. (As someone who as published broadly used open source software)

Wild how much empathy I have for the LLM now. It will definitely affect how I use AI.

These are particularly interesting because they isolate the one part of time that is completely made up: the week. Days, months, years have natural markers - but weeks and particularly days of the week are a totally arbitrary coordination function.

Almost every correct answer is a longer string than the other multiple choice options.

Super interesting. How does regulation affect IPO prospects of OAI and ANTH? What’s the timing of each?

On the meta, it’s wonderful to see so much disagreement in perspective on the top comments in this thread. Brave new world.

This is brilliant. I've been really excited about Jack Dorsey's "From Hierarchy to Intelligence"[0] and I think what you've got here is a pretty important piece of the puzzle.
