I don't think it's crazy to assume a post on anthropic.com is marketing

there is no "real weather". the rain is the weather. the map is not the territory. these are very simple concepts, idk why we need to reevaluate them because we all of a sudden got really good at text synthesis

do you find a 40-60% failure rate fits your definition of correctness? I don't think they really needed to spell this failure out...

I guess it depends, can you tell the difference between a weather simulation and the actual world?

an effective apology establishes accountability, demonstrates reflection on what caused the problem, and commits to concrete changes to prevent it from reoccurring

I get it but it's sort of a strange thing to ask people to accept no?

like asking people to accept that 1+1=3. or that the day after Monday is Thursday. maybe that's the real function of these hoops -- selecting people who are good at doublethink

my point is, clearly there is a sense of liability/responsibility/whatever you want to call it. not really the same as selling rope, rope doesn't come with suicide warnings

this gets brought up a lot, and the reality is that the scale of Amazon's losses is completely dwarfed by what's going on now

red herring. just because some jobs are bad (maybe shouldn't exist like that in the first place) doesn't make this movement humanistic
