Do you know if they retain your prompts or use it for training?

They can have a closed loop cooling system, but it costs more energy to run and would eat into their profits. so they use evaporative cooling, cheaper, but consumes entire towns worth of water. If this is pumped from the ground, round water levels dry up in all around and peoples wells dry up.

I ran into this so much I had to modify my harness to handle this.

This says that they trained on user sessions. The de-identification here I believe refers to removing PII, which doesn't matter here because the issue at hand is the content of the researcher's session where they likely discussed their approach tackling the Navier Stokes problem.

> Did any human or agent look at user data as part of the Navier Stokes effort? No.

If they trained the model on Lavent's chat sessions (PII removed or not), then this statement is meaningless as the model weights already contain that information.Given it's a new yet unreleased internal model, it is likely a 10+ trillion parameters (Astra is rumored to be 10 trillion), so the model can retain a lot more detail/info from training data.

Why is he leading the with the irrelevant part first ?

> And so does every LLM company.

Nope, not for enterprise users.No enterprise customers would use it if all of their internal business plans / trade secrets would end up in the model weights of the next OpenAI model. Imagine your competitor asking chatGPT a question and the model spitting out your business plan. These models can retain very specific fine grained data. I remember there were examples of them reproducing sections of their training data verbatim.

I searched a bit more and found this interesting bit from an article talking about a similar epidemic in Sri Lanka.

> An analysis showed that trace metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that naturally occur in the hard water reacted with glyphosate. This meant that, instead of breaking down rapidly, glyphosate was able to persist in the environment for up to seven years in water and twenty-two years in soil.

> Vibe (Enterprise): customers are opted out of training by default

So they made it opt in for enterprise (how it should be), but intentionally made opt out for regular user.Basically saying "screw you: to regular users.

Any self respecting user should stop using them.

I presume this is Anthropic trying to their "usage" stats before their IPO.

what about steep uphill/downhill sections ?

I wonder why they need tree motors per axle.

If you are the CEO of a company, you should have expertise in whatever your company does, and If your company is primarily a software company, then you should have expertise in software engineering. You cannot effectively manage something that you don't understand.

This is handicapping the human doctors abilities. There is a lot more information a human doctor can gather even with a brief observation of the patient.

This is the real question. If they are serious about not doing something like this again, they NEED to look at what process failed and let something like this get proposed, designed, implemented and pushed to production. Usually things get reviewed at each stage. Did the people who pushed back on this get steam rolled? If no one pushed back, that's an even serious culture question and the entire org would need training.

A serious "we won't do it again", needs to be accompanied by a COE on this for identifying what went wrong, and identifying what guardrails can be put in place and then actually implementing them.

Owning a decision means you have something at stake if things go wrong. What would happen to Jack if this decision turns out to be wrong? Any consequences?

Most big tech companies get taken over by leadership with no tech background eventually and the engineering bar drops to the floor.

Incredible documentary about the politics around EV's made before Tesla's became mainstream.

People were demanding and protesting asking GM to let time buy their EV'1 after the lease, but they destroyed all the cars. So did Toyota for the EV RAV4's.

Would it be a gradual decline or a step change after some point?

why not though? aren't you paying for the model usage regardless of the client you use?

Also that statement of 70 meters seem very off, looking at the size of the building. What leads to suffocation is the inability to remove co2 from your body rather than lack of oxygen, and thus can be life threatening even at 4% concentration. It should impact a much much larger area.

That enclosure has a huge volume - area the size of several football fields, and at least 15 stories high. The article says it holds 2k tons of co2, which is ~1,000,000 cubic meters in volume.

CO2 is denser than air will pool closer to the ground, and will suffocate anyone in the area.

Edit: It holds 2k tons, not 20K tons.
