The big difference is that Altman et al aren't just, or even mainly, pundits or prognosticators. Zitron's whole thing is commentary and predictions about AI and his predictions are almost all wrong. Altman and friends are mainly

Surely this is realistic now (or soon) in the form of LLM curation. A few auto-librarians reading everything, looking at different versions side by side, making choices, etc.

I hate not being able to use the latest models. There needs to be a much faster resolution to whatever is happening with the federal government.

Hmm. I also recently got a subscription to the NYT. I noticed they sent me a lot of email so I just filtered it with the click of a couple buttons. It's obnoxious but in the minor way that having to click a couple buttons one time i

The paper says the professors have a median of 200 comparisons each. It also says they only used 2 models because using more models would require more comparisons and they selected Google models because Google was branded/advertised a

I don't understand the "deathbed" perspective. Are you going to wish you made more hackernews comments on your deathbed? Probably not. Does this mean you should stop using hackernews? If you optimized for minimizing deathb

This just says 60% of systems, but not the frequency for those systems. They were evaluating 20 systems, so for 12 systems there were mistakes in the prescriptions, but there isn't information about how common those mistakes were and

Think of it as paying for tokens. The tokens you could buy 3 years ago are better and two orders of magnitude cheaper today. If that happens again over the next 3 years then the tokens you can buy today to do a job for 20k will cost 200. Th

3 years ago the best model was DaVinci. It cost 3 cents per 1k tokens (in and out the same price). Today, GPT-5.4 Nano is much better than DaVinci was and it costs 0.02 cents in and .125 cents out per 1k tokens. In other words, a signific

For what reason would they attack a single school? Some strikes being well some doesn't mean others can't be mistaken.

Now, I guess. They aren't releasing this one generally. I assume they are using it internally.

The difference is you can appeal or ignore a game result. If Ukraine lost a strategy game tournament, would they give up their territory? Or fight to hold it still?

Europe is currently being invaded by Russia and your idea for a "hardliner" course is to start sending Russia money?

This seems like the kind of foolishness it takes a lot of money to believe. Anthropic blew up their contract with the Pentagon over concerns on lethal autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance. OpenAI rushes in to do what Anthropi

"Uh, excuse me. This ad for a payday loan company says the vast majority of households can't afford this thing that most households with children do, in fact, afford and pay for. Which figures do you dispute?" Concluding so

Median family income in the US is a little over 100k. 400k to afford childcare is a ridiculous lie/error.

If someone is dying of colorectal cancer, trying to get them to worry about their credit score is not only not helpful, it's actively harmful. Messing up your credit for a few years is in the category of "inconvenience" and

Nonsense. There are many ways to get free or reduced price medical care in the US, especially if you are poor. Your doctor will have resources to help you if needed. You can also rack up huge medical debt and then not pay it. The hospita

Aren't all of these things you can do with Claude Code? Granted, the chat app one is novel, but you could ask Claude Code to set that up.

I agree with you that someone who is good with a screen reader can efficiently move through web interfaces. A good screen reader user is faster than the typical user. However, not all blind people are good with screen readers. For them, a

The first email I ever wrote was to Scott Adams. He actually replied! I was a child and had just read and enjoyed one of his older books, maybe the Dilbert Principle. I came from a religious household and I was surprised by something in t

First, just from a "danger" standpoint - more people in the EU die from heat than from guns in the US. And roughly 8 times more people die from cold than heat in Europe. So, I would say, that we live in an environment where our
