Probabilities are subjective states of belief! They have always been subjective states of belief! There is no such thing as a "probability" out there in the real world (ignoring random quantum stuff, which isn't what anybod

The same is true of humans, and so the argument fails to demonstrate anything interesting.

I think your instinct is very likely correct - I also immediately tripped on the language.

I'm pretty sure at this point more than half of Anthropic's new production code is LLM-written. That seems incompatible with "these agents are not up to the task of writing production level code at any meaningful scale"

It's pretty surprising that we don't have a good idea of how one of the most common (classes of) disease in the world spreads. This reviews the literature and does a bit of synthesis. (The conclusion is "probably mostly lar

We're seeing issues with RDS proxy. Wouldn't be surprised if a DNS issue was the cause, but who knows, will wait for the postmortem.

I have no idea what you think you're responding to. I use LLMs frequently in both professional and personal contexts and find them extremely useful. I am making a different, more specific claim than the thing you think I am saying.

Posting (unmarked) LLM-generated content on public discussion forums is polluting the commons. If I want an LLM's opinion on a topic, I can go get one (or five) for free, instantly. The reason I read the writing of other people is th

The trivial way to fix that issue would've been to ORDER BY offered_salary DESC LIMIT $h1b_cap, not this.

They don't currently claim to confidently believe that existing models are sentient. (Also, they did in fact give it the ability to terminate conversations...?)

I don't really know what evidence you'd admit that this is a genuinely held belief and priority for many people at Anthropic. Anybody who knows any Anthropic employees who've been there for more than a year knows this, but t

This is a reductive argument that you could use for any role a company hires for that isn't obviously core to the business function. In this case you're simply mistaken as a matter of fact; much of Anthropic leadership and many of

This feels like we're playing word games which don't actually let us make useful claims about reality or predictions about the future. If we're talking purely about the model internals, without reference to their outputs, th

What use of the word "reasoning" are you trying to claim that current language models knowably fail to qualify for, except that it wasn't done by a human?

> LLMs lack an underlying model Obviously false for any useful sense by which you might operationalize "world model". But agree re: being a black box and having a world model being orthogonal.
