<p>Do you have examples of sites that you prefer that achieve this, or have a relatively high signal to noise ratio that also have a high volume of discussion? (preferrably not an individual's blog + comment section)</p>

<p>I assume this isn't really for consumers/individuals currently? Kinda feels like an improved magic 8 ball.<p>I can't really intuit how I should think about when the model will be accurate. Is there somewhere to read more about that? I assume customers would just have some tests or talk to you.</p>

<p>It seems like the docs[0] are a better explanation? The comparison to llm tokens is kinda confusing.<p>It looks like the model takes as input a state (structured text? not sure if multi-modal) and a question (as a "Choice", "Score", or "Noul") with some additional augmentations possible. Then outputs the question's answers as appropriate (e.g. a choice, accompanying probabilities, confidence).<p>Edit: On the AI primer page, it looks like they do the RLCD on a pre-trained base model?<p>[0]:<a href="https://docs.typesafe.ai/concepts/system-one" rel="nofollow">https://docs.typesafe.ai/concepts/system-one</a></p>

<p>The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi 18 Fold and Huawei Pura X Max all have pretty similar fold aspect ratios to the Duo?<p>Not sure 'copying' is a clarifying explanation of what is happening though.</p>

<p>If I could manually set/select locations this might be perfect for me too.<p>I wonder why the scroll performance of every vibe coded app is the same kind of laggy. I assume they're defaulting to the same frameworks or implementations? Or the verification loops in training environments haven't prioritized frame rates/dropped frames yet.</p>

<p>Chain of thought seems very specifically like an instantiation of the System 2 thinking of the System 1 and 2 thinking Daniel Kahneman popularized.<p>Is it clunky in that it's a verbalized/languified version of system 2 thinking, and clearly humans do some non-verbal version too?</p>

<p>I wanted to say something dismissive. It feels like a lot of doublespeak, which I think undermines trust in them.<p>But I do understand that it's a little hard to characterize the amount of compute they're selling while obfuscating the business model enough that it still works. Demand, costs, supply, capabilities, competition change wildly week to week.<p>Selling a standardized "token" via the API with gas-like pricing works a lot better for transparency. But I think there's a world where the ambiguous subscription pricing is net beneficial for users and providers. Allowing some degree of price discrimination should benefit everyone in aggregate, assuming there's real competition and not yet another duopoly..</p>

<p>The labs might not be open. But they would want access to data. More open platforms (the web at large, but bluesky in particular has made open access an explicit goal) tend to provide that, relative to x/threads/facebook/reddit/youtube.<p>Some labs will be able to buy access. Not every platform will offer it. There are many more labs than the big ones.</p>

<p>I don’t get why ai labs and staff didn’t move to Bluesky or something more open.<p>Grok searching across x/twitter is too valuable to ignore or silo.<p>X is effectively a high signal comment layer for the entire internet + quasi internet (arxiv) + real world.<p>Same applies to any data silo I suppose, X just seems more straightforward to beachhead.</p>
