<p>They underestimate the likelihood of black swan because it is very hard for adults to concretely imagine things that have not happened before and then even temporarily fully believe ~"dreams will come true."<p>One of my go-tos on this is the Fukushima nuclear accident.  IIUC there were plenty of folks in Japan who knew of the high risk. Perhaps many interested in nuclear energy outside of Japan, too.<p>But the average adult if asked about the prospect of a major nuclear incident occurring say, "tomorrow," would narrow their eyes in skepticism.  There's almost an instinctual level seeding of doubt.<p>This can be a good thing. LK-99 was an excellent test of the dissonance from dramatic changes in reality and costs of inaccuracy.<p>The greatest VCs I have known are exceptional at suspending disbelief to test their ability to basically shape world building.</p>

<p>We saw yesterday that expert orchestration around small, publicly available models can produce results on the level of the unreleased model.<p>I take a contra view and instead see this as fuel on the fire for tinkering to squeeze advanced functionality out of more available things.<p>It has always been like this, the amateur improvising tooling and equipment to outdo companies with comparably infinite resources.</p>

<p>Yes. Gemeni's web interface was atrocious even when the model was the best frontier.<p>And codex still uses phrases and syntax in prose ostensibly for the user as though they forgot people are actively reading this stuff.<p>Product is unquestionably where Anthropic excels.  It is what carried it through periods where its thinking model lagged.</p>

<p>I had thought this, but my experience initially was that performance degradation began getting noticeable not long after crossing the old 250k barrier.<p>So, it has been convenient to not have hard stops / allow for extra but I still try to /clear at an actual 25% of the 1M anyhow.<p>This is in contrast to my use of the 1M opus model this past fall over the API, which seemed to perform more steadily.</p>
