I don’t understand this mentality which I see over and over again on here. It’s not like the US frontier labs are beacons of morality and transparency. It’s also pretty accepted within this community that a lot of data fed to US tech compan

The whole article boils down to two points: 1. “I’m fine with ‘em, as long as they’re useless” 2. “The only authoritarian regime which can be trusted with such power is the one which benefits my company”

Agreed. An experiment is only as accurate as the methodology is sound. Testing each lab’s model in its own harness just tells us how well the lab has performed. For the model’s performance we need a control and the only way to get the contr

I don’t know that the methodology of the experiment is testing what it intends to test. With the current method we’re essentially testing each AI lab’s ability to efficiently extract data from their version of a transformer model. To object

Would a fairer test not be to use the same harness for all three? I’d suspect the harness to massively affect token use and optimisation

I could be tripping but I’m sure that is very similar to the Deepseek one from not long ago. Clearly I am too lazy to go and find it for verification.

There are no egalitarian societies. Societies in the west favour the super rich and believing anything else is simply delusional. Sorry to burst the bubble.

Not sure why the downvotes, it’s a quick tool? Yes it’s a ‘vibe code’ but it’s better than nothing and at least will flag if you need to do anything — verified myself.

This sounds cool and similar to something I’ve been building! I say similar as we have different ideas and target audiences — What I’m building is a niche network specifically targeting people who are travellers or friends that like holiday

How can there be democracy in an environment where freedom of thought is all but nullified due to social manipulation through mainstream media. Calling something ‘free’ doesn’t make it so. The reality is that the term democracy in western s

It’s seems like there are a lot fishy smells coming from the timing of the mythos announcement and the reports of issues with casual users. Combine that with the mass rejection of 4.7 it kinda seems like they are burning their ‘non research

Yeah I think the web is more a tool than anything else nowadays and it being homogeneous is a good thing. Think of roads. It’s one of few things that humans have managed to agree on across the planet and there’s a good reason for that. The

I love the idea but this will only end up harming your SME in the long run. It would also further entrench the large corps. The only way something like this would be remotely plausible as a concept would be for enough data providers with ov

I’m sure someone else has probably coined the term before me (or it’s just me being dumb, often the case) but I’ve started calling this phase of SWE ‘Ricky Bobby Development’. So many people are just shouting ‘I wanna go fast’ and completel
