But that’s not something specific to mathematics, is it? I am bit against “safeguards”. That reads more like censorship to me from some kind of high priests.

So do you care more about the way someone solves a problem or about result(the fact that it solves it)? For a student I think the answer is obvious because he has to understand the basics but for a researcher we don’t ask bio researcher to do research with pen and paper alone, do we or just using some deep thinking. AI is a tool. Get over it. Math is not an art.

What exactly to protect? I really don’t get what this fuss is all about.

We still need math research just like we still coding or software or cpu research regardless of how many problems the AI solves.

To me it feels like a bio researcher complaining that his field has no future because AI started to cure diseases so now instead to spend 100 years to run experiments someone can do it in a day with AI(obviously it’s not the case yet).

Are they guys upset that people can “run math” without hiring a math guy?

I think frameworks are more important than ever in this AI/vibecoding world if you want to keep any chance for your code to be readable again and not become just a pile of machining that nobody quite gets what it does. The more optioned the framework is the better. The more familiar you are with the framework the better chances you can actually deliver a working thing not just some slop that looks like working.

Source: experience. I decided at some point just to vibecode a fairly complex project with gpt 5.5 sol and Fable.Burned several max subscriptions and it ended up a pile of machinery, impossible to make it work in the end. Rewrote it/vibecoded it with my framework(s), skills, lab conventions etc and it works flawlessly.

Even better I can figure out immediately if Claude or codex goes off the rails just by seeing the snippets. It just shows the AI models are just not ready to build things “unattended” without proper “steering”. Frameworks and other constrains are a way to steer the AI. Of course bloated frameworks would just make things worse.

This made me understand there are very low chances to just vibecode whatever “business” you want to try and succeed. You still need to know your “s**t”.

Some of them are for sure. Someone has to do the backup of transcripts and metadata

Yeah, I think this is it! Google tried to hype their model but they have no chance against queen Dario. Perhaps they should just delete Gmail and say that Gemini did it. That way they would get some attention …

Because you have an android phone and don’t want to mess around with anything else(i.e the same reason people just use internet explorer on windows) or you hold Google stock so you want to support your investment :)

Apple forgot to mention Safari not being open source but rather tied to a proprietary platform not to mention Safari on mobile kept in a short leash to protect the AppStore.

Aren’t there efforts to simulate neurons? (Aka artificial brains)

Well as far as I know banks in Europe (UK included) already ask you a lot of questions when you withdraw your money(I.e cash) or even when you wire various amounts( unless you have a good bank manager). My bank manager in Europe just told me straight that I don’t need to explain him anything but he has to call me anyway because of the bank policy(I.e to tick the boxes).

Next is a hold on your suspicious transaction, request additional documents for your own money, basically a lot of AML and KYC before you can use what’s yours.

I understand the reason why they do this but it feels to me you are no longer in control of your money/property and somehow they fail to catch people loading billions from shady sources so I would rather not keep my money in a bank (at least not a retail bank) if I had a sensible option.

Most people don’t care about this until they get trapped just like most people are /were OK with Paypal and other junk services.

I think the issue with all these cars is that they are not cheap enough. You get “half” of car while the Chinese provide you a “proper” car for the same price.

>>> Two-Factor Authentication (in particular: receiving a text message or email with a one-time code), and later came the more robust system of Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) – in common parlance, “authenticator apps.”

I stopped reading after that. Obviously this guy doesn’t know what he is talking about or why that sms and otp are just worthless more or less if you care about security. They are actually loopholes in security. If you can use passkeys you would want to make sure that your stupid service provider(I.e Google, bank etc) is not being stupid to fallback to otp or sms crap.

Yeah, I guess it’s part of doing risk/reward like the taxes thing. It works for many but sometimes it gets ugly for few either by chance or social/political reasons and of course saying everybody does it it’s not helping. I think the Dieselgate was the same thing.

Another recent take is that you could go to jail or bankrupt for sharing some content or you could become billionaire/trillionaire torrenting the whole world. It’s more about the timing and leverage you build along the way.

Put 90 percent energy into the shields!

>> It’s worth paying a bit more for the security, for the same reasons people buy insurance.

Yeah but this “ If you want security the concept of the mega city needs to be abandoned.” is not a bit more. It’s paying more for insurance than the asset insured. Perhaps you heard of the term over engineer or the cure is worse than the disease. I think it applies here as well.

Trading off efficiency for security is not wise unless you are in war. The same applies to supply chains.

I hope you enjoyed it. It went to shit again. That’s why we need open models

Maybe Sam or Dario is playing hide and seek again with the agents….

Why would anyone trust anything Anthropic says about its products?

Evidence is my experience. I think someone documented it as well, it was a top post here.

Use it now as much as possibles. In a week or so it will start to suck as Dario turns the knobs to nerf it.

To me the main issue is placing military installations near civilian buildings(I.e schools). I know US has schools near militarily bases as well so it’s not really a country specific issue. It’s just reckless policy not to ban such things unless you deliberately want to use civilians as shield.

OAI and Anthropic are forced to release a better model every x months otherwise the Chinese ones will not only be cheaper but also better.

So how could Dario show the investors very nice profit charts representing profit = revenue excluding training costs if it needs to pay a lot of training every x months?

They want to sell the same model for longer(a kind of software subscription where the cost of running /inference is cheap) but the Chinese don’t let them do it. That’s the gist of it. You can see already how they nerf the models just a week or so after release and try all kind of tricks to deliver you shitty performance for the same money. I think it’s part of the same issue of costs and enshitification plan.

In the meantime let’s hope they don’t get to ban the Chinese models(I think they won’t), local AI hardware will get cheaper and the whole AI doom saga will slowly fade to the point that Anthropic becomes a kind of IBM stuff with proprietary data, enterprise certified alignment and enterprise contacts. Think of Accenture junk.

It is clear by now to me that Anthropic is constantly trying to find a kind of “auto” degradation perhaps to save money on work it thinks does not require high reasoning. I always use max reasoning and I can clearly see differences between the models when they release and after 3-4 weeks. I think they give a kind of intelligence boost also for new accounts.

At this point I think I will get the DGX gb300 workstation though I will wait a bit more for the cold season. It is double the price but at least is the real thing

Ok what at what diplomatic price did the US get these concessions?

I would argue that the U.S didn’t even try to get this stuff so it’s not like Trump tried anything and used annexation as ultimatum.

Nothing is permanent and not this deal. You should know that by now if you watched the Trump stuff or the Russia deals with Ukraine or the U.S deal with Ukraine.

I never understood this blame on EU as an external entity. If far right wins in most member states then EU itself becomes far right. The EU is MPs elected by the EU people directly and council members which are heads of state elected as well in most countries.

Bill Gates could have been named but boys will be boys…
