outside1234··on OpenAI Has New Focus (on the IPO)
"IPO to dump this pile of debt that is about to collapse on unsuspecting index fund buyers"
outside1234··on Asian governments roll out 4-day weeks, WFH to solve fuel crisis caused by war
Will be hilarious if there is another call for WFH just after the bigs forced everyone back
outside1234··on Suburban school district uses license plate readers to verify student residency
Can't wait to hear it is biased for flagging brown people
outside1234··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
It is weird because I am the opposite. The symbols were never the objective for me but instead how they all fit together.

Now I am like a perfect weapon because I have the wisdom to know what I want to build and I don't have to translate it to an army of senior engineers. I just have Github Copilot implement it directly.

outside1234··on Dario Amodei calls OpenAI’s messaging around military deal ‘straight up lies’
Ok, but we can we agree we can definitely not trust OpenAI like 10x more?
outside1234··on Someone needs to go to jail
My comment is meant as a conversation starter more than anything, based on my observations of how both 1) the right (or at least MAGA?) and the left are against the Iran war AND 2) both the right (or at least some part of MAGA?) and left want to see the Epstein perpetrators locked up.

This hasn't happened, per my theory, because we are really in a top versus bottom fight where the top controls the narrative and shapes it to be a right vs. left fight amongst the bottom.

He is being tongue-in-cheek. To explain the joke, Trump is fumbling around for anything to distract from the fact that he is in the Epstein Files.
outside1234··on Someone needs to go to jail
We are in a battle of top 0.01% vs. the bottom 99.99% where the top 0.01% has convinced us that our enemy is the "right" or the "left" such that we are distracted from our actual oppressors.
outside1234··on Claude becomes number one app on the U.S. App Store
OpenAI bribed Trump: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-whole-thing-was-scam
outside1234··on Claude becomes number one app on the U.S. App Store
That’s what happens when a bunch of us delete our OpenAI accounts, delete ChatGPT, and download Claude
outside1234··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
These people are drunk on power. They have been running around dictating things to everyone so for someone to push back is pretty novel _and_ it will inspire (I hope) other people to push back.

Listen, if the Government using it for legit and safe use cases wasn’t an issue, then they wouldn’t have complained about Anthropic’s language. Sam is just looking the other way and pretending for you employees.

Or Sam bribed the government to do this, which is also entirely possible.

Just deleted OpenAI account, F these guys
outside1234··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
Exactly. Stop using OpenAI. Don’t design it into your software at work. Use Claude. Screw these guys.
outside1234··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
All of us can act too. Stop using the OpenAI models. Stop using the app. Design in other models no matter what. Screw these guys.
outside1234··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
This. Sam is going to pretend they aren’t going to use it for that because his company is collapsing in losses. He will never audit.

Probably also got assurances about a bailout when OpenAI collapses.

outside1234··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
Screw OpenAI. Never opening that app again or using one of their models.
outside1234··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
I guess the worry is that we don't get Due Process here and they destroy them to make an example of them.
outside1234··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
There is no way they can just stop selling Opus 4.6. This will crater the market.
outside1234··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
Probably Grog, which probably means even worse outcomes

AI crash here we come
outside1234··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
But Anthropic is the one that is disrupting software development? So why are we not piling into that?

Seems not solved:

Hopefully Microsoft is selling parts of their share of this trash into these funding rounds...
outside1234··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Remember when it was a huge milestone when gigantic companies like Apple and Microsoft were striving to be the first $1T company backed with decades of building actual businesses with actual profit?

Good times.

outside1234··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Well, $110B a year doesn't last long if you are losing $40B a quarter.

Also Softbank invested, which is never a great signal.

outside1234··on Banned in California
California has some deep trauma from all of the superfund sites the semis left behind.
outside1234··on How will OpenAI compete?
This is what Netscape thought too
outside1234··on How will OpenAI compete?
I don't know. I switched to Gemini and haven't missed anything from OpenAI even for a second. I could switch back to OpenAI and not miss anything from Gemini. I don't feel the stickiness AT ALL.
outside1234··on Anthropic drops flagship safety pledge
Does this mean they knuckled under to Trump and are going to build "whatever brings in the dollars" now?
