SubiculumCodeon Russia's businesses under strain from Ukraine's attacks on Wildberries

There comes a time. How many apartments have been bombed by Russia?

SubiculumCodeon Russia's businesses under strain from Ukraine's attacks on Wildberries

Ukraine's innovation and perseverance under extreme duress is inspirational. I hope they continue their path towards a stronger, more democratic and more corruption-free nation who can stand tall and resist tyrannical States like Russia

I don't even know anymore, to be honest. I talk to AIs more than I do with humans, these days...So who knows

SubiculumCodeon Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models

Isn't the issue with the approach generally that it ends up costing more?

SubiculumCodeon Flux 3

Well, unified multimodal intelligence is the only way we will get to The Terminator, which seems to be the goal now of Silicon Valley and every Nation State with a military budget, so have at.

SubiculumCodeon Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample

Is there a nice PDF of this conversation?

SubiculumCodeon “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”

And what, to your mind, would classify something as learning? I assume that your position is not the hard "only humans/living creatures can learn"

SubiculumCodeon “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”

That is a strong statement. I guess you are telling Machine Learning to go fuck itself.

SubiculumCodeon “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”

Never said it was. Still, understanding to what extent the ability of Chinese labs to keep up to western models with much less compute needs to be understood.

SubiculumCodeon “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”

They breached some TOS, but your first sentence is pure, over the top flim flam

SubiculumCodeon “We have information that Moonshot distilled Fable for the development of K3”

Moreover, reading a copyrighted book and learning from it is not theft.

There are many frames that one can place upon this issue. They do not contradict the other. There are moral framings (stole the internet so go eff yourselves, is one), but so is national security, and so is the doomer recursive self improvement risk, and then there is the framing purely on what this implies for future AI training.

I mainly focus on the last.

It will be hard for a frontier lab to justify spending the compute and data curation needed to advance AI further if that expenditure can be assimilated into your competitor's products within months/weeks. So reality will present labs with three choices:

A. Cease spending massive amounts of money and compute improving those models.

B. make those improved models more difficult to distill from, either through some regulatory regime, or some technical solution, which seems unlikely to me.

C. making the best models available only to select partners and government.

In all these potential outcomes, China, which lacks compute that U.S. labs enjoy, will likely stop seeing massive improvements in their AI models. Improvements to be sure, but right now they are enjoying gains from distillation AND their own model innovations, and these potential outcomes would largely stop one of those sources.

SubiculumCodeon OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation

Anthropic in general seems to have better security...but they also had reported an internal AI gained access to outside email services to contact an Anthropic developer

I mean insurance is very specific industry, and does not easily generalize.

Is that statement based on token price? More and more it seems that $/token hides as much as it reveals. Token efficiency, tokenizer differences, etc. I'm not saying that you are wrong, I am just saying it is becoming a bit more difficult making statements like this without a bit more research.

SubiculumCodeon Is surveillance risk chilling your online speech?

Risk? Or correctly assumed truth that surveillance is occurring?

Cherry picked examples don't prove that it isn't context dependent.

How much is Anthropic's price due to inference cost or extra margin they can get away with by having the best model?

Red pilled? Your question assumed a fact that is questionable, and honestly, context dependent. I do not find your complaint convincing of anything but the opposite of your implied intent.

SubiculumCodeon Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture

Are you sure that this applies?

SubiculumCodeon Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture

I read some thinking traces someone posted on X, and yeah, near psychosis from refusing to believe this simple of a solution had not been found already

SubiculumCodeon Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture

For all thehubbub, as far as I know, all the math breakthroughs via AI that I've heard about have come from Anthropic and OpenAI, not Chinese models. I could have missed those announcements, but one might think that between close to frontier performance plus cheap tokens, that they'd be leading the way on these things.
