Elon also advocated for that when he launched grok. The generous interpretation of this is that Elon cares about humanity, the more likely one is that desperately needed time to catch up with competitors (who were all ahead), so it would be

The funny thing is that with $40T of public dept US is basically taking money from other countries (in exchange for a pice of paper saying IOU) and then using that money to force these countries to do what’s in US best interests (real or pe

Saying sorry means admitting guilt. If there’s guilt there some level of harm. If there’s harm you can be sued. Avoiding being sued due to causing harm usually means increased costs, because you now need to take care you didn’t take before.

I find it particularly bad at writing test comments, I usually start fixing bugs by adding regression tests and Opus tend to put story into comments for these, including “but it fails because…” followed by bug description including line num

I think a lot of that is people who were always very insecure because they’re mediocre engineers. Previously asking questions or not understanding something was a bit painful but now you can hear “you’re absolutely right!” and make progress

To be fair it’s also worth noting that it’s much easier to find a buggy edge case with existing code than it is to write bug free code that doesn’t have any edge cases at all. It’s so much easier to read some concrete logic and find holes i

There’s been infinitely times where I was stuck at some problem and every single solution was complex, messy, over-engineered and somehow wrong, until I went on a walk or moved to a different issue and suddenly it would hit me that I was lo

Anthropic Needs to have the most intelligent and scary agents, so if OpenAI does something bad they need to prove their models can do even worse. Without that the whole valuation collapses. There’ll be more “our model outhacks others” for t

Is it "anti-LLM" or is it anti "here's some code I don't understand that a machine generated for me kthxbye"? Code is not just code, it's also liability and trust.

A bit of good old “it’s really good idea, I love it, great effort … BUT” Mixed with “if kids can’t get semi dangerous drugs from the back of my van then they will be forced to buy from even shadier, more dangerous dark web van”

I'm sure Anthropic would love for everyone to believe that soon they will be the sole provider of "skills" for the entire planet and every single business transaction is done as a part of the subscription they offer - people

I have never seen a plan written by LLM that wasn’t vague and light on details, every time I need to ask for more details and every time I ask to implement it trips over some dead end in the plan, discards the plan and continues as if there

Here’s an idea: Musk launches a ton of orbital gpus but in reality it’s just an empty shell and real gpus sit in unused grok data centres. How would we even know?

It used to be that you need a good reason to make huge refactorings, because it’s often so much work. Now agent can rewrite half of your code if your prompt is vague enough and you don’t actual try to review it all. And so the “soul” of a p

How do you manage to make Opus follow any rules? Maybe it’s a windsurf thing but I have a ton of custom rules and Opus just ignores most of them. GPT on the other hand follows them like it’s a cult - if I have a rule I can’t ever force it t

I often find myself annoyed when Opus fixes a typo in a comment and decides to run tests, lints and whenever else it can find to run. Often it will start by stashing current changes just to preemptively check if all tests were passing befor

I need to write code because otherwise LLMs will write too much code, it’s only when you fully understand the problem you can generalise it enough to not end up with 10k lines and 5 abstraction layers for “hello world”. LLMs are token predi

Oh the number of time LLM will, for example, be giving me the list of bugs it found in code, when I ask it for a review, just to decide there’s no big half way through explaining it.

by prymitive 2mo ago
I think the problem here is that LLMs aren’t really “intelligence models” but more like “knowledge models”. LLMs don’t “think”, they just use a clever trick to make it seem like they do. I might not understand a lot about current state of A
