Anthropic is no longer a good model company in my mind, they are optimizing for an IPO and padding themselves on the back for being the next Aristotle. They're so far up their behind they don't realize how s**y their products are, and their research team hasn't done anything ground breaking in probably over a year other than release "scary" reports.

You still have people defending the occupation forces even when the soldiers themselves are bragging no social media about killing kids, and how they wished they killed more.

In those cases the AI can spin up a shell corp and run the clinical trials, humans would administer the trials (maybe robots can do it). There is already hundreds of pharmaceutical companies so it isn’t difficult for an AI to spin up another and bring in humans when needed

I feel there is an elephant in the room not being discussed. Why does he care about "diffusion of the model" within the economy? If he truly believes there will be the development of a data center of geniuses wouldn't that imply complete market capture. Who cares if pharmaceutical companies or any other business is slow to adopt the AI, the AI will capture that market entirely making those companies obsolete. An API model wouldn't even make sense in this scenario because why would you sell your model when you can capture the entire economy of the business using your model.

1. You can get a great headshot using your smartphone 2. Headshots don't cost $300 (maybe on the extreme high end) 3. Gemini, ChatGPT, and nearly every multimodal model already solved this problem over a year ago.

Serious question: Why exactly is this impressive? They've raised over 100 million and hired scientists who know how to do this (and collaborated with Los Alamos), what exactly is the thing that is making this go viral.

To the best of your ability. If you can avoid Israeli tech then do so, if you can't at least you try. Also opensource technology is different because you can verify and audit the tech

If you're asking yourself why hasn't the bubble burst when everyone is calling it a bubble it's because no one wants to stop dancing until the music stops. If you told an investor the market will collapse tomorrow with 100% certainty they will invest today like there is 0% certainty of it happening tomorrow.

Now videos will be generated on the fly based on your preference. You will never put your phone down, it will detect when your sad or happy and generate videos accordingly

Exactly, it’s like they’re targeting people who don’t really know much about ML but are easily wowed by fancy math jargon and nice drawings.

Because it’s not research quality. The only people excited by this are people who don’t know anything about actual ML, and think this is amazing.

I don't doubt most code will be created by AI, but that actually doesn't translate to a huge boost in the daily life of an engineer. Also, codex and claude code aren't that complex of software products.

1. they aren't, they are just popular online. 2. the author has nothing to do with the original comment. Why do you think academic reviews are double blind?

The team is good, and I enjoyed the read. But this is just an engineering blog post. They're promoting this like it's ground breaking research and it's on their front-page. Ultimately this paper is not very meaningful and just a fun debugging session.

I've seen this play out dozens of times. So many startups that have come and go in the bay area were composed of extremely talented individuals, but almost all of them failed.

cool project but if this is what you are producing with $2 billion funding, i doubt you will survive. This is the type of article a grad student would write over a weekend.
