They definitely can, they just don't want to.

Similarly, Siri was arguably better a decade ago when it has deterministic intents that you could trigger with certainty, now it is all seemingly random at time.

Is ECC RAM that much valuable in day to day for non-critical usages?

Good read for people in the future reading this and seeing so many comments that imply Brexit wasn’t that bad.

> The model did what Anthropic said it could do.

How come? Where are all of those security patches and critical bugs that would’ve broken all software if it was unleashed?

I would be surprised if janitors get shares. This is Musk we’re talking about.

Anything to back those claims up? I use Firefox and didn't really notice this (although I am rarely on battery), and other than Google Meet making my machine throttle (and I blame that on Google not on Mozilla), I don't use Chrome for anything else for my browsing.

Oh please let’s stop with the Mythos “it’s dangerous” PR talk.

Its obvious Anthropic used it to hype things up and that’s about it.

You make it sound way simpler than it is. Their ToS are probably written in a way they are fully protected in cases like this.

> You go to a university because you are deeply interested in understanding the subject that you study. Doing the homework and the tests are just the "goalposts" to check for yourself whether you made progress on this.

This is probably not true for majority of people. Most go to school because it is mandatory, pushed by parents and society, and university gives you credentials and better job opportunities. Homework and tests are a way to get a number grade on 'how well you memorized something', it doesn't really measure a deep understanding of the topic.

RAM is used outside of the US as well.

You are saying there will be even more demand for RAM and that will cause the prices to crash?

Not using GAAP, so this is just PR for them.

Knowing that investors in Elon's companies blatantly trust his lies, a rocket exploding here and there is not going to make a dent in the stock price.

Profitability claims don't really add up. They are not clear about what accounting methods they are using, and even if they might somehow show profitable quarter, they stated in their leak of numbers to WSJ that they might not end up the year being profitable.

This is just to pump their numbers for the IPO, profitability is nowhere close until we see the real numbers.

As if choosing a model to use on its own is not hard, offering six levels of "effort" (quite a vague term as well), low, medium, high, xhigh, max, ultracode (?!?!) is really making comparisons next to impossible when people using the same model can have vastly different experiences.

What exactly is the diff between high and xhigh? Or xhigh and max? This is definitely too granular and it seems Anthropic took OpenAI's confusion with models as inspiration.
