lol no. The poster above you was correct.

ml-anonon OpenAI and Anthropic cut their LLM prices by up to 80% within a few months. Why?

ml-anonon Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude

ITT: people have no fucking clue how drug development works.

ml-anonon Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude

It’s always great when someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about decides to pipe up.

ml-anonon Anthropic S-1

No it doesn’t. They are hand waving away a 70Bn loss which is in every possible way an operating loss other than name.

They paid for their compute in equity in the company, not cash. Therefore their losses don’t show up as cash. I don’t understand how people are this gullible.

ml-anonon Anthropic S-1

It’s per unit of bullshit. No one knows what the true cost of Anthropic’s compute is because of circular financing.

ml-anonon Anthropic S-1

lol yeah if you completely discount the actual amount they paid for that compute which is hidden in the 70Bn of debt which is waved away as a non operating loss, sure.

If I was selling dollars for 50c and Nvidia, alphabet and Amazon giving me dollars for a piece of my company, my revenue growth would be the same. That’s what Anthropic is doing.

ml-anonon Anthropic S-1

who gives a shit what Jack Clark thinks? I’d be shocked if anyone at Anthropic did. In an industry full of grifters and leeches you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger one.

ml-anonon Anthropic S-1

No it doesn’t. Everything comes back to whether the fundamental business can ever be profitable.

So far not a single company has ever demonstrated that.

Even if demand is through the roof which it seems to be, it doesn’t matter if every dollar they sell costs them more than a dollar.

you're citing out of something. not your head.

lol. no

ml-anonon OpenAI and Anthropic cut their LLM prices by up to 80% within a few months. Why?

it doesn't exist. Anthropic overtook OAI as the most unprofitable company in human history

ml-anonon Siri AI

they are literally burning billions of dollars and can presumably keep doing this for a while. Taking a trivial amount of additional financial liability to launder their reputation wouldn't meaningfully improve things.

ml-anonon Siri AI

there is this bullshit term you hear paraded about the dwarkesh-adjacent circles: "capability overhang". Aside from being effectively meaningless jargon, there is a kernel of an idea that somehow the models are far more capable than what "normies" use them for.

Well, I think Siri AI puts this notion firmly to rest. Yes, if you have unlimited tokens and well-posed problems you can solve open Erdos problems. However, if you have meaningful real-world computational and reliability constraints then you better just stick to "summarize my messages and find the dogs in my photos".

And this isn't just Gemini, I can burn effectively unlimited Opus tokens and still get garbage code out or be run around in circles without very diligent oversight.

ml-anonon OpenAI closes funding round at an $852B valuation

lol imagine someone believing in the invisible hand of the free market in 2026

ml-anonon Yann LeCun raises $1B to build AI that understands the physical world

Honestly, how do people who know so little have this much confidence to post here?

ml-anonon The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

Yes, this is utterly fucking bonkers.

ml-anonon The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

have you heard of people not surviving into old age, or not being present or not being able to take care of kids? What the fuck is wrong with people in this comment section?

ml-anonon The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

nah you're only speaking out of your ass

ml-anonon The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

yeah, what the fuck? This comment section is utterly fucking insane.

ml-anonon The optimal age to freeze eggs is 19

Never has a website's title been so consistently wrong over such a large variety of subjects.

ml-anonon The whole thing was a scam

Colin Powell must be shaking vials of yellow powder in his grave right now.

ml-anonon The whole thing was a scam

Not to mention trafficking and raping children

ml-anonon Our Agreement with the Department of War

It’s the fucking department of defense.

ml-anonon xAI joins SpaceX

It’s also a way to distract from the fact that alleged pedophile and rapist Elon had 3 underaged foreign nationals trafficked to him at the space x headquarters by convinced pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein, per the Epstein files.

ml-anonon Over fifty new hallucinations in ICLR 2026 submissions

So solve it?

ml-anonon Over fifty new hallucinations in ICLR 2026 submissions

No it’s not. It’s made up bullshit that arises for reasons that literally no one can formalize or reliably prevent. This is the exact opposite of specific.

ml-anonon New research highlights a shortage of male mentors for boys and young men

ok so no evidence of highly illegal mass gender based discrimination.
