Anthropic needs to shut down. They are promoting insanity from every pore for some crazy reason. The best message these people can get from the public is to have their IPO fail miserably. Nobody should buy one share. Either they are crazy,

My position on the clear gaslighting coming out of Anthropic is simple. 1: It is ridiculous on the face of it; it does not pass the physics test. They are actually claiming that AI will kill ALL OF HUMANITY (>10% probability) and have no

It isn't going to be easy, of course. Yet, I do believe they will make it work. One correction: SpaceX makes their own solar arrays. The cost is nowhere near what you quoted. Source: I worked for SpaceX for a few years. Also, you can g

Last time I used the Windows version it pegged all my cores at 100% usage for some reason. The machine became unusable. Instead I used Codex with JetBrains Rider (doing a C# project) and it worked flawlessly.

Everything everyone is predicting has almost zero value. Nobody owns a crystal ball. Right now there could be someone working in a garage somewhere that could shake the entire LLM world to the core with a unique insight and innovation. Thin

It is a security risk. That's the problem you create if you allow every single vendor from imposing their own rules. The contracts are not awarded because doing so would create a security risk. I don't know what analogy would driv

IANAL, so I can't comment on the legal merits of any of it. From a practical/business perspective, I can see the government's position. It's very simple and it makes sense. Here's an analogy that I think is apt: We

Years ago I used PostgreSQL under Django to drive an industrial test and inspection robotic cell (which I also designed and built) at a major technology company. It worked very well. PostgreSQL maintained machine state, path planning, senso

Sure buddy, whatever you say. You changed my mind. I think OpenAI should pay you to use their technology for free without restrictions. It's only fair. Live long and prosper.

None of these things are free my friend. They probably represent tens of billions of dollars in development over years, decades in some cases. You are missing the point entirely. Let's just take one: LibreOffice. This was a FOSS proje

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I think single person AV pods would be amazing and is likely one version of the future. However, this kind of change takes time, a lot of time. AV or not, if you have to share the road with monste

Simple: None of us have a crystal ball. Trying to predict the future is foolish. I am not saying that what we are seeing might not be problematic. I am only saying that nobody really knows. We can't know.
