I have made very falsifiable statement.

They are not. The amount of conspiracy in high ranked HN comments for AI companies is insane.

I don't think they are most efficient for small GPUs. I think they might only be the one which have capex and certainty required for multimillion dollar purchase of GB200 NVL72 or something of that scale.

Not showing what it looks like after folding is criminal.

I have many diverse friend groups. And HN is lot lot more anti AI then even the worst of the non technical groups I am in. e.g. [1] is so detached from reality and got to front page for multiple days recently. Or [2].

I have never seen a positive story(I am not talking about things like current model, just how positive AI could be like the Sam Altman post) in front page for a long time. Feel free to disprove me.

Why do these kind of articles getting into front page in HN everyday. There is nothing substantive and these are the empty kind of articles that anti AI folks should be against.

No one is forcing you or pressuring you to not call friend to ask for recipe. Even AI would say that you should talk to friends.

Where did 4 order of magnitude even come from? If I were to guess it is just 5x larger based on the pricing, so not even 1 order of magnitude.

> Mythos is not 4 orders of magnitude larger than Opus

Again can you define this. How would 4 order of magnitude better look like?

Lot of the things aren't facts that could be stated. No one can just see the dictionary or translation of words and start talking in that language.

There isn't a clear definition of what is knowledge and what is intelligence. Is being able to write in C knowledge? Is knowing undefined behaviour in that knowledge?

What do you mean by 3-4 orders of magnitude better? Was Einstein 3-4 order of magnitude better than us?

Meaningful in the sense it could find security vulnerabilities in browser and kernel that >99% of the engineers couldn't find.

> It is almost guaranteed that a 60-90B model can outperform current SOTA in coding tasks within 2-3 years.

I am ready to bet against this. Knowledge benchmark like SimpleQA isn't increasing for small models.

> It is far less clear that a 1.2T model will be meaningfully better enough to justify training it.

Well for one, we know for certain there is Mythos which is meaningfully better. And I think there is a lot of juice left to squeeze for Mythos class model.

At least they show competitors in any benchmark, compared to OpenAI which likes to pretend that there isn't any competitor.

Those numbers don't even track even in the same sentence. If it is $2T/year by the end of 2029, it would be something < $6T cumulative in 3 years.

> $5t to $10t to make back in the next 5 years

Wait what? They spent 2 order of magnitude less on hardware.

Did you even try to verify your claims. I tested it on few translations on wikipedia articles using [1] and it takes 15-20% more tokens for Norwegian.

English performs the best because there is more data in English and high quality sources are either only in English or there is a good translation in English.

Is opening church cheaper than running open models?

> This is not true at all.

In what sense is it not true?

> mission of the church and mission of the ai being the same is absurd

Did I claim that?

I just said any point you wrote against church representing powerful few is applicable to AI.

Everything you say apply to the AI. Even more so that there are very good open models which anyone can host and get almost exact same power.

This is so obviously wrong I don't know how this theory got popular. OpenAI had everything from compute to brand name to contracts. Sam wasn't the reason the money was coming, employees and OpenAI were. Even if Sam bought them money, board could still tell the reason of firing Sam rather than keeping it a secret.

And why did Ilya flip? He doesn't have much to gain by being in non profit when he could get more money elsewhere.

YetAnotherNick — Sun, 24 May 2026 21:21:45 +0000

Then they should have made the position clear to the public, or at the very least have some communication with the employees. It's not hard to say that they were against Sam for some particular reason, if they are firing him. At least if the reason is good that might have given them some credibility.

And why did Ilya become Sam lover after 2 days?

The irony is that this is the most AI generated, agreeable and no substance article. And the only ones who are upvoting it are the people who are against those.

Does so many people in HN just upvote by title?
