Paying people salaries is a bad thing?

A bit of an odd take. Replit went from a company making almost no money, to one which has since been able to employ hundreds of employees and generate hundreds of millions in revenue, while being used by millions of people.

But you're mad cause it's no longer useful for you.

In the Bay Area they have human supervisors but in Austin they are autonomous.

Is there data to suggest they are unsafe in Austin - as in less safe than a human?

Well it's much more preferable than the typical doomer sentiment of Hackernews. I've tried the product, it's not a scam and works. Whether they can package it up and ship it in time is another question.

I order all of my groceries using Muse. It's great at finding all the food items I like. But yeah, I wouldn't use it for Doordash, although I order takeaways anyway.

Yeah, I'm personally also unsure of what's so problematic about his London article. I think it's perfectly reasonable for a country to want to protect its native population, especially if said native population have lived there for an extremely long period of time.

I think it's only viewed as racist because the native population of England are white.

I got pomegranate in ChatGPT

The metaverse never had a remote inkling of PMF

Looks like OP is never returning from the Winchester.

I mean usually the benchmarks make any model feel better than how they actually perform.

Pretty impressive. I genuinely wonder how Mistral hires talent when their salaries are so terrible. Guess there aren't many better places to work in Europe.

My guess would be designed by a skilled human with help from AI and built with AI by a skilled programmer.

Most humans are much more incompetent than a frontier AI. That's why.

Well it's too late now. Europe should have started in 2023 when there were only a couple of models. Instead, we got Mistral, which is just useful for OCR.

I would consider them tremendously useful.

So why doesn't Europe with it's talent, money and institutions create an actually useful open source model rather than relying on China?

The European attitude to technology is very strange to me. I'm very happy that I've been able to move to the US and leave it behind.

If only Europe could have produced a single frontier model company..

These types of comments remind of when Cognition launched Devin and everyone was hounding on their website saying "Oh can't Devin build something better than this", etc.

And well here we are 2 years later and Devin is great.

In startups, you launch early.

Meta's work on this has been known in the valley for some time now so all the VC's who invested in Instinct's recent huge raise would have known about it.

Instinct, Town, Orchid, Pally, Poke, folk, it's a never ending list.

To each their own, I don't enjoy planning things in the slightest.

I use Instinct and I'm very happy with it so far. It has booked some restaurants for me, replied to some personal admin-related emails, and updates my progressive workout spreadsheet when i go to the gym. No real complaints so far.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that this true? And if so, why can't I just use any of the very good open source Chinese models (and eventually American once reflection, thinking machines, etc catch up).

Yeah exactly. I remember speaking to someone working at a YC company who was complaining about the quality of their codebase.

I then asked him if the company was making a lot of money - he said yes, it was super successful.

Yeah exactly - found the parent comment quite funny.

For instance, one of the other top comments berates Claude for terrible instruction following with regards to scientific papers, whereas this one is full of praise.

Everyone is just making up their thoughts on these models based on vibes.

AI slop.

Tesla would be nothing without Musk. That doesn't take away from Eberhard and Tarpenning; they started the company after all and are great engineers. But it would be nothing without Musk.

Yes, but you'd lose childcare benefits in the UK so it's much, much worse if you are a young parent.

The West just outsources pollution to China.

UK taxation is absolutely absurd. Kills the ambitious. Just look at what happens between 100-125k, both from the perspective of tax and loss in benefits for parents.
