If you've read enough lesswrong, this won't be new to you. The strategy always was "become the most capable model lab so that you have leverage to control AI development."
yes that is literally why they are sounding the alarm - because people think AI is a party trick and they aren't taking it seriously enough.
I think you fundamentally misunderstand what kind of company Anthropic is. I'm simply taking the path of least resistance when understanding what people at Anthropic have to say, and basically every public source points…
Code in most organizations is a means to an end to produce an actual product. The job of a SWE is to not produce the most sublime readable code with cute language bells and whistles that you can show off to your other…
Navier Stokes, and _allegedly_ the Hodge Conjecture and Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer.
Yes these guys are completely delusional. 2 years ago a model could barely solve the AMC, 1 year ago it got IMO gold, and this year models have solved multiple millenium problems. Even 1 year ago ai code was just…
This is just completely false lol. They most certainly can make better models - why cant people here just read this for face value? I think anthropic is legitimately concerned about the safety implications of stronger…
Once we have an existence proof of a particular technology, it doesn't take long for it to become economically viable and proliferate. And for something as useful as this, theres a strong economic incentive to get it to…
People seem to be talking about anything except the actual results with this particular announcement. Its still astonishing that any sort of generalized computer program can solve a problem of this magnitude at all.
lol, the "other work" was also probably 95-99% AI generated. By a similar breed of OpenAI (and some Anthropic) models, as well. I dont know why this monumental achievement is being drowned out by some arbitrary drama.…
Its loosely based on PTX.
The only thing here that _maybe_ has a durable long term moat is the first point. Even then, I don't see why stronger models can't also have discernment once more companies close the loop with their AI and their…
This is unironically the best comparison. maybe they became taxi drivers. But that too will be gone soon. Can't beat capitalism + technological innovation.
What does "learning AI skills" even mean? You're typing into a prompt box. You are not applying any skill, the model is. At best, the skill you need is discernment about _what_ to type in this magical box. But if that…
To the surprise of who, exactly? Sometimes it feels like HN has never used an AI model past ChatGPT in 2022. Modern AI is so capable nowadays that it _does_ obviate most of the work you'd normally give an entry level…
I think most of HN can't logically arrive at this conclusion because they don't exactly buy into the premise that (1) (digital) AGI is a real concept, and will be achieved imminently (2) AGI will be world (and possibly…
> The jobs growing are the ones where the work product is judgment about what code should exist. And how many people do you need for this? There are many roles where people are literally hired for their…
I don't get why people care about "the death of junior SWEs" and "its a big issue if there are no junior programmers to be the senior SWEs of tomorrow" Just look at the writing on the wall, there will be no need for…
wow an actual ai-pilled comment on here for once, I agree with your sentiment. People opining about "rebuilding the ladder" have no idea whats coming for the software industry, and the general populous of white collar…
This _was_ done a couple of decades ago, it was available on the downloadable version of google earth (when it existed). I remember playing around with it in 2012.
This is just false. For starters, your users most _definitely_ don't care about how "elegant" your code is either. They want new features to keep them engaged, or to make the product better. The quicker they get those…
This is obviously the case to me, but I think HN is very anti-AI. I genuinely don't believe that they sat down in a board room and said "yeah lets specifically release this now before an IPO so we can juice it!" They…
Its AI. Both AI actually being good now, and CEOs believing AI is good. Even at most big tech companies, L3 engineers were basically the "claudes" of their team (or at least, 80% of their job was basically to be a…
Its been 6 years, how are you still blaming covid overhiring?
SpaceX is _not_ profitable by most reasonable measurements of accounting. If you discount rocket depreciation costs and R&D, then yeah its profitable from starlink revenue.
