Or, Anthropic has better models and is experiencing higher demand because of that.

Or, OpenAI was reckless in securing compute.

> I have a gesture for whoever decided "find in page" should go under share.

You can also just type your search term into the normal address bar and there's an item at the bottom of the list for "on this page - find

". I'd never even seen the find-in-page button under share.

I used to think this, but the AI labs sure seem neck-and-neck in the model race. Doesn't appear that anyone is developing an enormous lead. So I've become skeptical of the runaway king-of-the-world-maker model scenario.

The open models seeming to be ~6 months behind is very encouraging, too.

Yeah, I get that it can be amazing and be of superhuman intelligence and all that, but also it reads exactly like the slop article I saw yesterday that was giving baking instructions for “wood biscuits” (which are a method of joining in cabinetry and are not tasty at all): https://thehoneypotbakery.com/wood-biscuit-size-chart/

Do not match your communication style to nonsense articles.

The thing this doesn’t address is that we seem to be trying to make the idea of knowledge work obsolete, and having some success doing it. That’s what would be making me nervous. That there might not _be_ jobs in the future.

Dude, you _have_ to write things in your own words if you want to be taken seriously. "The is not — it's " will cause a bunch of people to disengage, and those people have high overlap with the people who may fund you.

"Consultant" for an LLC you own is a perfectly legit job. I've opened brokerage accounts and bank accounts while in that status.

If you go hang out at your local small airport on a weekend, I guarantee someone will give you a ride. In the US, at least.

If we're going to have a surveillance state, let's use it for superlative control - one dollar in taxes for every superlative you use in personal life; $0.01/viewer for each one you use in any live televised event.

It's becoming a public hazard, we must act!

(Assuming you mean P==NP)

Would it become crackable, or just theoretically crackable?

E.g. it's one thing to show it's possible to fly to Mars, it's another thing to actually do it.

I think you're right. I think that a majority of people, including myself, will be generally unemployable soon.

I'm early career and have a few hundred thousand dollars I can deploy. What's the best way to invest?

I'd bet this whole thing is vibe'd out of nothingness and no human actually thought about whether saying "you are paying for the brand" makes any sense at all.

How the hell are companies and individuals not taking reputational hits for saying blatantly wrong things in AI-voice, under their name?

Can anyone give the next layer of detail here? I understand the implications of this analogy, but looking for the underlying reasons the analogy is apt.

In my experience, whenever an LLM says “wait, but actually” or some variant thereof is when you need to step in before it goes totally off the rails.

Well, can’t they just direct their model to do some marketing for them?

Only partially tongue in cheek - if it’s not good at marketing itself, that seems like a red flag for capabilities?

This rings true to me, but I also think the AI models and harnesses are getting better at a frightening rate and that unemployment (the kind which _is_ due to AI) will be a major focus of the 2028 or, at the latest, 2030 elections.
