We're literally commenting on an article where Samdesk flagged a public protest to Anthropic security and Anthropic employees chose to not go by it. The absolute EVIL of a public protest being avoided by people is UNSPEAKABLE. That a

You are right that this is hard from a prompt alone, but for a slightly stranger reason than the obvious one. The model never sees columns. It sees tokens, and a token can be one character or nine, so "make this line 80 wide&q

I truly don't see any major problem with what they're doing. For any current significant risk (security, bio risks), their models are notoriously useless.

This is the perfect example of a delusional HN comment. None of it makes any sense, most notably the idea that VCs are buying any of this server hardware. It's so bad I can only guess that it's purposefully so. "sell like cup

It's basically a "if we really have to support this for a long time, we want to be compensated for that" pricing strategy. It's about long term maintenance cost being greater _because_ it will be irrelevant.
