I don’t know that most people care at all or even know about this. ChatGPT still far and away has the largest consumer market and brand recognition.

What Anthropic has done exceedingly well is work their way into corporations.

I have personally seen massive uptake over the last 6 months of regular people in corporations using Claude cowork. They are all genuinely amazed by what it can do for them.

OpenAI wants to be more of a Google. It’s increasingly seeming like consumer may not be as good of a play here

Being a “prick” is completely inconsequential compared to the massive harm that anthropics views could create.

Such as them genuinely believing they are the only ones who should control AI. What could possibly go wrong?

Anthropic believes they are the only people who should control AI.

That alone is terrible. Also OpenAI has done actual work to try and mitigate the downstream negatives effects with UBI experiments.

Sam isn’t perfect but it’s deeply unclear that he’s worse

The idea that intelligence will be commoditized is completely counterintuitive. It comes from the belief that it can’t exceed our own. This is almost certainly not true at the limit. There will likely by many super intelligences like we see life in the wild

100%

The belief structures here are really interesting. Blind tests would likely illuminate a lot of why people think that

That’s why they put on such a big parade for him. Trump is essentially the fulfillment of their strategy, and is easily played by stroking his ego

That is unbelievably terrifying

With AI assisted coding I imagine no one will notice

It’s a new world for breaking things

Huh I thought AI didn’t have any use cases /s

Most raves are just EDM shows now. In the 90s they were secret warehouse parties, and instead of Molly it was “Ecstasy” Molly can be an unbelievable experience but please be very careful if you have mental illness.

If they have to do this (which I doubt), they should have just made it a feed. I wouldn’t mind seeing the latest shows out with an understanding that a lot of the spots were paid for

CATIA with plugins can go up to 100k a year. That’s what we currently pay

How could extremely capable artificial brains ever pay for themselves?

I think that's fair, but I honestly can't tell you if I'm writing python or rust anymore. When I review I just ask Claude to add comments to all the code to make things clear as I review

We do it, it’s fine. From what I can tell just about every company does it now.

Review your code, have integration tests, rollout feature incrementally with feature flags.

All the things we previously did for all the really bad human developers which AI is way better than

Why choose a significantly worse language when you are writing it in the same English either way.

It’s increasingly obvious that whole swaths of developers will just continue using the language they did before LLMs “just cause”

It’s more identity based at this point. My LLMs write Rust for me and I couldn’t tell you the difference outside of it being way faster and more reliable

How can I play with you all!?

Phantasy Star Online was so far ahead of its time. I remember connecting it up to my early modem via phone jack.

Gameplay was amazing, story and graphics were great, the community was really fun.

Oddly it’s also the last MMO I ever really played. As I got into high school I focused more on music and whenever I would try a new MMO game they never felt nearly as good as PSO.

Why not use this instead of KL in reinforcement learning?

My guess is the models just continue to get better and better

When I got into agentic coding a year or two ago I was sure it was only good at autocomplete. Something happened earlier this year where the models hit a new level of capability.

Everyone I know now just does agentic coding, and it’s really amazing. I think we should just try pushing this as far as we can possibly go, it really feels like the acceleration of the human race is upon us.

I love Go and used to write it heavily for anything non LLM based.

Now that we have agentic coding I just write everything in Rust and couldn’t be happier. The struggle with rust was writing it, go was made so it was easy to write for mid level engineers. Now that we have agentic coding I’m not sure Go’s value prop holds up anymore

My rust services have been nothing short of amazing from a performance and reliability perspective

Running LLMs on Macs is still terribly slow. They simply lack the optimizations other platforms have.

An RTX 6000 pro Blackwell is a pretty good card

Same, I’m not sure how Python survives this outside of machine learning.

All of our services we were our are significantly faster and more reliable. We used Rust, it wasn’t hard to do

I’ve been writing almost exclusively Rust with LLMs and rarely ever hit this. I guess maybe the kind of work you are doing?

What is this comment? It’s an RL paper, these are standard RL terms

Anything less than a 32 channel system is mostly a toy. You can stack them but synchronizing the clocks is hard

Very cool! I’ve been trying this quite a bit too

I’ve heard this is apparently less about morality and more about payments getting contested by men getting caught by their spouses

Put a TPU in this and I’ll buy it!

or the language was fundamentally designed to make mid level engineers more productive...
