It's more mixed. They like it because shields them from frivolous complaints, and lets them document evidence against subjects. They don't like it when management uses it for frivolous minor policy enforcement or they feel like it

This really depends what you mean. If you spend $5.00 on anthropic tokens does that cost Anthropic more than $5.00 to serve? No. If you amortize all of their training and salaries over that $5.00 then yes. If you only amortize the training

I don't know if Ed is far off the mark. But this article does nothing to help illuminate it. He mixes estimated capex spend by like 3 different sources with actually commitments by the LLM providers. He talks about how crazy it would b

The old school solution to this is have different schema in your database, and have views as the cross team public interface.

The issue wasn't sharing a database, it was not being clear about who owns what. Having multiple teams with one code base that has one database is fine. Every every line of code, table and column needs to be owned by exactly ONE team.

The vast majority of people who write don't have a voice worth preserving. The rest can build out a voice document to make sure the AI doesn't strip it out.

If AI wrote and thought better by default then I wouldn't have to read the AI slop my co-workers send me.

My experience has been (ordered from best to worst) 1. Author using AI well 2. Author not using AI 3. Author using AI poorly With the gap between 1 and 2 being driven by the underlying quality of the writer and how well they use AI. A reall

If he was making an argument from data it would be cheap. But he's making an argument from lived experience against both data and someone who lives here. Are you saying that the data is wrong and the only way to know what it's tru

>But at least they could afford a house, right? I think a lot of people would accept living in a house without AC and more likely to catch fire. Is a house like that cheap today? No, right? It's crazy expensive as well. I don't

They lived in a house or apt with a third the sqft/person that was far more likely to catch fire and didn't have AC. If they had a car they most likely shared it. It was far less safe, didn't have AC, guzzled gas and polluted

They are large enough to cover their previous training costs but not their next gen training costs. i.e They made more money on 3.5 than 3.5 cost to train, but didn't make enough money on 3.5 to train 4.0.
