they also have $1T in commitments

you can't be serious, the animations are completely off here.

byzantinegeneon Major Investors Are Skeptical Anthropic IPO Can Achieve $1.5T Valuation

and that would still be valued at a fraction of $1T.

byzantinegeneon Major Investors Are Skeptical Anthropic IPO Can Achieve $1.5T Valuation

they get 90% of the profit, but the pie would shrink without the massive VC investments from anthropic and openai

byzantinegeneon Revolut moves to self-hosted GLM

assuming the productivity boost of AI to a senior developer is 10x, we might still have way more engineers than actually required for the next few decades. Also, seniors do not have to be boomers, and have a good thirty years ahead before retirement.

byzantinegeneon Revolut moves to self-hosted GLM

it baffles me how some devs do not seeing that being a meat proxy reliant on the capability of the latest model makes themselves the prime candidate to be replaced .

byzantinegeneon Revolut moves to self-hosted GLM

in 2030, there is no need for hiring software devs, or at the very least, we have several times more swes in the world than we actually need.

byzantinegeneon How I use AI (Oct 2026)

just because you have an idea doesn't mean it will work. kids come up with ideas all the time in their drawings, but they disobey the laws of physics and are therefore not feasible in reality. sure, the model can guide them, but eventually they would have to pick up the necessary knowledge.

byzantinegeneon China's First Frontier AI Export Controls: Mofcom Announcement No. 48

there's alot of reasons, but one of the more commonly cited ones is that China facing chip restrictions means they lack the compute to provide the models for global usage, and making them open-weight is one of the ways to circumvent these restrictions.

"Second, we encourage open source, open collaboration, and resource sharing. The Chinese government is committed to making artificial intelligence a significant driving force for promoting common prosperity and safeguarding common security. To support the construction of an open source innovation ecosystem for artificial intelligence, convenient measures such as automatic licensing will be applied to technology exports involving open source AI technologies, Chinese companies building and operating their own computing centers overseas, conducting chip fabrication overseas, utilizing overseas resources for joint research and development, and participating in the formulation of international standards, basically achieving "immediate reporting and export." Technologies that have already entered the public domain through open source or published academic papers will not be included in the export management scope, creating a favorable environment for international exchange and cooperation in artificial intelligence technology."

their official stance suggests they remain in support of open-weights

byzantinegeneon Anthropic takes steps to block Claude from reverse-engineering video games

most of their revenue come from a few companies, they couldn't care less about the mass market's opinions of them

byzantinegeneon Median product "lifespan" has fallen from ~4y down to ~1.5y

this website itself is vibecoded slop, a quick look at the listings shows hallucinations.

byzantinegeneon AI compute is the new oil–and needs a new market

i would argue that youtube has gotten alot worse this year, and every vibecoded project shown off here has been pretty soulless and pointless.

llms are in fact, not better than traditional chess engines at chess. most benchmarks that llms are trained for are coding, math and science benchmarks, that's why performance tends to be spikey

byzantinegeneon "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math

alot of investment related roles, those require reading human emotions and pleasing people, a pretty face and pleasant demeanor with emotional intelligence helps more than raw iq.

they probably do deliver insights, just not in a human-readable form, so at some point, human progress stalls.

byzantinegeneon "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math

human intelligence was always overrated, at least in terms of it's actual value to society. phds are often unemployed or "overqualified" for the roles they apply for, roles that pay the most are often roles which are less deskbound and more client-facing, roles that ai cannot replace.

that would just pass on the AI costs to the customers, unsure if they will just accept the new line item on their bill.

byzantinegeneon Accenture Tells Employees to Spend Only $29 on Claude per Month

makes perfect sense, they don't need that many people now thanks to AI, if they can quit themselves that would be great.

if your boss is prompting the AI, that's what the claude output is going to sound like, if not worse.

so you're saying that junior software engineers write better code now? I find that hard to believe.
