I believe the author's thesis is that if they had invested in innovation over a couple decades, the product probably would have sucked less.

They had pretty drastic price cuts on Opus 4.5. It's possible they're now selling inference at a loss to gain market share, or at least that their margins are much lower. Dario claims that all their previous models were profitable

Well how much of it is correlation vs causation. Does the next generation of model unlock another 10x usage? Or was Claude 3 "good enough" that it got traction from early adopters and Claude 4 is "good enough" that it&#x

It's more like the patient needs some fixed amount of food each day and it doesn't make a lot of sense to create lots more food than they need on the hopes that someday they'll want to eat more than they can. If the argument

It's much more conservative in the scope of task it will attempt and it's much slower. You need to fire and forget several parallel tasks because you'll be waiting 10+ minutes before you get anything you can review and give f

If it's not astroturfing, the people who are so vocal about it act in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from it. I keep looking for concrete examples of use cases that show it's better, and everything seems to point back

This kind of proves the point? Presumably your mother didn't buy the latest phone for "continuity" or camera improvements. The features and additional hardware improvements might be noticeable after being used, but are they d

If you're able to generate minified code from all the code you can find on the internet, you end up with a very large training set. Of course in some scenarios you won't know what the original variable names were, but you would ex

Because of how trivial that step is, it's likely pretty easy to just take lots of code and minify it. Then you have the training data you need to learn to generate full code from minified code. If your goal is to generate additional us

It seems to be difficult to turn the pure research back into new products. Apple famously got lots of ideas for free from Xerox PARC. Google researchers wrote the Attention Is All You Need paper and they're now desperately playing catc

On device or in an Apple owned DC. It sounds like they have aspirations for their own Apple owned LLM. ChatGPT seems like it's there until they can get something good enough to generally replace it for cases where their in-house soluti

They say it's going to be free forever with no subscription, but they have to pay for chatgpt API calls. Even if you forgive them for overhyping their chatgpt wrapper, they're still a ponzi scheme.

If you know a great deal about what is right and wrong, and you choose to do something bad, that feels worse than being bad and not knowing any better.

For some people, the comments are the worst part of YouTube. I could see them being pretty vocal about not liking the design that makes them more visible.

Well the unit economics don't make any sense. You get unlimited free LLM calls forever? I don't really see the argument for it shipping too soon (although it is too soon for what they're claiming). There's a basic unit e

Zuck renamed the company Meta, partially because of a deep believe in the Metaverse (perhaps it's too early to call it, but it seems misguided) and partially because of massive amounts of negative press they were getting because of pre

OpenAI should make something so that people can enter their prompt and maybe even drop in a knowledge base and then share with anyone else who wants that functionality.

They didn't actually fire the board of the non-profit. They just said they'd all quit in protest because of an action of the board they all felt was egregious. The board could have stayed and been a non-profit that did nothing eve

But the base model, when its trained on the whole internet, will have some extreme biases on topics where there's a large and vocal group on one side and the other side is very silent. So RLHF is the attempt to correct for the biases o
