And before him, Altman was explaining very calmly that no company could ever compete with OpenAI.

It's less* than that, and if AI replaces workers at that scale it will create such a problem* the system would fall before these companies manage to demonstrate they escaped bankruptcy.

And it's proven constraints nurture creativity and risk taking. It adds up.

And that's why those CEO keeps promoting the threat AI may displace many white collar jobs, not just developers.

They already figured they would need trillions revenue. So they paint an economic where such amount is plausible.

The meeting was about the SVP teaching the team that incidents happen, what's important is to prevent the same issue from occuring again.

The fact the author had never been in a call with the SVP implies incidents that happened before were explained in details, without much process change.

It's a team of 3. It's not like they have a security team, dedicated testers. They were for very long releasing beta software. That in fact already worked.

That isn't my read.

ApplecCare is as much a warranty as their Apple's phone are guaranteed waterproof.

It's marketing.

The 3 year warranty add-ons is an insurance. One can get an insurance for any device.

An old Samsung S10 takes stunning pictures. Mid range phones at 300 USD are incredibly good at taking shots.

But our appreciation keep getting skewed because flagship phones make leaps forward.

No they don't. Even waterproof phones damage due to simple water spill get denied warranty (even from Apple).

Throwaway accounts posting after a few minutes some anthropic or another ai lab.

Infomercial at its best.

No wonder we are hammered with ai announcements.

Unique game. Also to think that they pulled out that beautiful 3D toon feel before toon shaders were made.

Oddly most of these challenges seem to seek to solve problems that would enable phenomenal business opportunities, that many biologists would find questionable.

I've interviewed for several senior jobs lately. And found that the more pragmatic and honest I was, the quicker I was dropped from the pipeline.

It goes both ways, and I would argue the spiral happens because the other side expects something above an beyond the possible.

The GitHub for models and AI. I remember.

When a business subsidizes for several years all its offerings, one can guess how it will end.

The doom demo would have to be reproduced to confirm what their model is capable of. Oh but it's all closed source, so who knows.

It reminds. Me of Devin. Took a while to debunk. Not saying Jev is a fraud , but the gap between structuring typed output and playing a game involving logical interpretation of frames made of pixels, screams unstructured interpretation they made and forgot to mention.

My thought, the growing number of dubious claims that a tiny model beats LLMs will make any useful innovation be overlooked.

What's more important than the resource requirements is to highlight what the model simply cannot even attempt to do that general LLMs do decently well.

In other words, tell me the anti use case clearly so that I don't have to find out myself.
