For all intents and purposes, aren't the "token change" and "cost change" metrics effectively the same thing?

As it turns out, having unfathomable amounts of wealth lets you get away with just about anything.

Definitely one of my biggest pet peeves with articles / blog posts. There is so much fluff. Just get to the point!

I suspect that Google is working on improving their models for coding behind the scenes. Hopefully they release something soon to compete with Codex and CC. To be candid, I use CC, but have not tried out Codex.

As an aside, the creator of this site (Riley Walz) has some other awesome projects I’d recommend checking out https://walzr.com

Yeah, extremely misleading title even if it is technically true semantically. The phrasing gives the impression that a bug was found in `lean-zip` as part of the proof boundary when it was part of the unverified archive-handling code.

You're right. Thanks for calling it out. Doesn't contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way.

How out of touch can you be to do something like this?

Some poor security guards are going to end up getting gunned down.

Just speculating, but I assume the motivation is in a similar vein to the Stop AI movement. https://www.stopai.info/

Altman needs to sell off that house and move to an anonymized address. I don’t see these attacks letting up any time soon. Two targeted attacks in three days is nuts.

Altman can both be mentally unwell and a grifter, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Bold move to do this on your work Macbook. I'd be too worried of getting chased down with a bill when returning the laptop eventually.

Crazy that you can't even read an article anymore without having to cough up money and/or provide your personal data.

I would argue that "abundance and growing the pie for everyone" is even more unfathomable given how things are structured currently. The wealth gap will continue to widen until something gives.

Good point. Guess it depends on how privy the four astronauts are to the Camarda document, etc.
