The Opus 4.6 thread was full of "very smart" and experienced SWEs likening model weights to neurons. And again, any DL curriculum worth its salt will thoroughly debunk that comparison, i.e. Justin Johnson. In this day and age it seems the Darios and Altmans have successfully waged the most damaging propaganda campaign in modern time. Even the Pentagon is lining up to relegate its decision making to black box stochastic ML models. Tech as an industry is unfortunately extremely gullible, all the more so when pressured by the market, VCs, clueless PE analysts, the tech blogger/grifter complex. Foundation model makers can get away with hiding training data while proclaiming they are building a "moral" neural network while no one bats an eyelash.

Imagine the people on here spraying their AI takes everywhere while being this oblivious, the code is more or less a standard assignment in all Deep Learning courses. The "reasoning" is two matrix transformations based on how often words appear next to each other.

I don't know what's funnier, that Anthropic convinced the Pentagon LLMs are smart enough to guide missiles, then have it backfire on them with the threat of nationalization if they didn't help build ralph ICBMs, or that Pete thinks Opus is Skynet and that only Anthropic has the power of train it.
