<p>Also massive human work done on them, that wasn't done before.<p>Data labeling is pretty big industry in some countries and I guess dropping 200 kilodollars on labeling is beyond the reach of most academics, even if they would not care about ethics of that.</p>

<p>You have to keep in mind that it's not like anthropic just asked mythos to "find fancy bug, make no mistakes" and got the result.<p>my quick read of the process they describe is that first they asked agents to rank files in order of potential to have interesting bugs, then they launch agents for each file in order of "interesting bug potential" and finally launch another agent for verification. (maybe i am mistaken, this is my read of this post <a href="https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/" rel="nofollow">https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/</a> )<p>it's not clear to me if they made just one pass over each file or made several passes for same file, but regardless, I think if you recreate roughly same process and burn 20000$ on tokens with other reasonably good model, you will find some fancy bugs too.</p>

<p>There are youtube skits about openclaw. It is discussed in techy podcasts and i think it was mentioned in 404 as well.<p>It's popular because people are exploring "what can i do with compute" once again. React is as meaningless as tickless kernels  for vast majority of people.<p>Should be noted that i am not using any claws. Just a person remembering people spending their nights programming all sorts of psychedelic displays in  qbasic with some moving on to asm. Asm for fun.</p>

<p>Probably both. I'll admit to be layperson in all this, but deepseek is pretty impressive. Even if they have used more compute than they claimed, this part of article you linked didn't age well judging by reviews of 4.5 :D<p>>Many have compared V3 to GPT-4o and highlight how V3 beats the performance of 4o. That is true but GPT-4o was released in May of 2024. AI moves quickly and May of 2024 is another lifetime ago in algorithmic improvements.</p>

<p>if i understand correctly your argument, then i would say that it is very recognizable as science<p>>People could tell scaling wasn't working well before the release of GPT 4.5<p>Yes, on quick glance it seems so from 2020 openai research into scaling laws.<p>Scaling apparently didn't work well, so the theory about scaling not working well failed to be falsified. It's science.</p>

<p>It is also very common amongst those men who don't claim to support womens rights. It's just that there is no shock about deception. Reading the vulture article, there is attempt to tie in feminism in that article, but looking at details, it doesn't really come into picture - it is just powerful man straight up doing whatever he wants. In case of Pavlovich she was just straight up delivered in his hands by Palmer with Palmers full knowledge on what would likely happen. That is what actually shocks me the most.<p>In a way there is no avoiding feminism - we are commenting article written by feminist expressing view of some radfems that there can be no consensual bdsm. Your warning has it's own chapter in one of Dworkins books.</p>
