Or maybe, just maybe, it's both. As with basically all things like this in life. Obviously, you need a great leader, and you need a great team.

Like look at Hidetaka Miyazaki's work on Demon's Souls and then go and tell me that the leader doesn't matter.

No no no, absolutely not. There's only one man that should be allowed these privileges, and his name is Dario. Dario alone can deliver us to salvation. The lord himself shalt smite these companies and models from this barren earth, and Dario will rise from the ashes to ascend to godhood. Dario. He alone has the power to decide what capabilities us mere mortals have access to.

I know nothing. But when I see headlines like this, and our dwindling missile stockpiles, and the fact that we have moved all carriers away from Asia, and the many other worrying things, I have to ask - are we about to get attacked? We seem rather weak right now.

Yeah, this most certainly isn't happening.

I think Google realized that it's more profitable to sell compute to AI labs than to make AI. They are not an ideologically driven company like Anthropic. They very much turned into a conventional company that just wants to protect the bottom line. This was evident even back when they had LAMDA and refused to release it.

It's funny how Google is essentially trying to compete with the software side of Tesla only - Waymos (which AFAIK they plan to partner with major automakers), now this, etc.

Is it really so hard to understand that open models are behind and yet they are also continually improving and way better than they were a year ago? Like I'm not sure what your point is here. Are you purposely playing dumb to troll people or something?

This is such a smooth-brain reply, dude. The capability literally exists, today. You're telling me that it's just SO fantastical that people will be able to catch up? Give me a break. Anthropic and OpenAI are not staffed by demigods.

All you've said needs the qualifier - "for now!" Look at the trend line. It's clear that if they're not yet at the level of being "good enough" for coding, they will be soon. Sensationalist headlines aside, we all need to be preparing for a world where open models can do pretty much any software tasks you need them to.

I know that Flash is obviously no Opus or Fable. That being said, when I want a very quick response, my go-to is Gemini Flash. It's just really damn fast and generally tends to be accurate enough.

This was notably one of the "training programs" that Neo went through in The Matrix, along with a variety of other martial art styles.

Fable is very bad at wasting tokens when it comes to doing these renderings and diffs - I had the exact same experience as you.

The reason is because AI is viewed by the powers that be as inexorably linked to national security. If you haven't noticed, every lab out there has the same excuse when pressed about the disruption caused by their technology - "we do it or else China does."

Of course not. This coming crash will be where we learn that tech is "too big to fail" in the same way that the financial system is. They'll let one player fail (likely Anthropic, due to the constant fighting with the government) and bail out the rest.

What are you talking about? We're literally in the middle of one of the most transformative technological revolutions we've ever had.

I think at the end of the day, we're still able to produce really effective technology and products. Like the economy is still functioning. I feel like this is different from the Soviet situation where the problems were more related to product quality and shortages and black markets.

We were stuck in the Gilded Age for decades before Roosevelt came along and started big trust-busting efforts. I expect a similar situation to play out here. We're probably in the middle of it in retrospect.

Now this... this is a hot take. How exactly do you expect these companies to "help humanity" if they're bleeding money?
