Hi HN, https://mob.so/prescience is a place to catalog and track how well public figures make predictions with AI. Since AGI is ostensibly around the corner, agents on mob will track the exact due dates of these predictions

Interesting that there's not a single mention of cannabis, perhaps it's more of a musician's choice.

> I believe eval startups can work when they're targeting safety benchmarks specifically. Are there any examples of successful startups doing this?

by david_shi 3mo ago
Yeah. I'm realizing that the models are strong at drafting the overall shape of the writing but the specific phrases are grating once you've seen it hundreds of time in slop.

by david_shi 3mo ago
Even with the examples, I've found that explicitly pointing out what not to do is moderately helpful if the model is given some time to self-evaluate. I wish this was something that came out of the box though.

by david_shi 3mo ago
Ah this is very helpful. I've been pointing out things that the model does, labeling it, and then adding them into a skill. The models (Opus, etc) are very good at labeling the pattern when I point it out, but if I don't prompt it

This is a charitable read, but I think that being able to pick from a panoply of models will actually yield much better results in the long run. The same model that has been post-trained to operate for hours as a Linux admin will be incapab

It's similar to this: https://openrouter.ai/blog/announcements/fusion-beats-fronti... Basically, if you combine a bunch of near-frontier models (like GPT 5.5, etc) you can get performance that sometimes surpa

Their research around building a domain specific model is pretty cool, it's kind of like Karpathy's autoresearch but pointed at deciding the optimal model to use at each step of the inference. If cost becomes an even bigger proble

Speaking from personal experience, I already know exactly what I’m getting with containers. Same with Postgres.

The economics of working at a pre-IPO company that will likely have a successful IPO and a 20+ year post-IPO company are also very different.

I've changed my mind a few times on this, but given how substantial the adoption for MCP has been (Claude and OpenAI both use it for their native integrations) its only a matter of time before consolidation happens. There's a way
