I appreciate the straightforwardness, but you probably understand that's pretty unsatisfying. Actually, stronger - it's valid in some circumstances to say something is infeasible to precisely to define and you'll just…
It established you can't assign copyright to the LLM itself. That's very different.
> actually intelligent It's reasonable to doubt that LLMs are a path to AGI, but I don't understand how this is still a matter of dispute in 2026. What's your definition of intelligence that doesn't cover an entity that…

Lots of things are wrong with giving people the power to make choices that affect the whole world, while excluding others who are equally or more affected, based on where they happened to be born. If the logic is that…
Yes, she addresses this by denying that she's made any empirical hypothesis, but in a way that's some combination of disingenuous and confused. She also says: > What I am trying to do... is to help people understand…
> The closure leads to price increases which leads to inflation which leads to non-dollar assets (ie stocks going up in value) I think this argument proves too much. Historically energy shocks have led to recessions,…
I mean, there's a reason I started with a distancing phrase about a "reasonable argument"; I think what I'm suggesting is an interesting lens but does not capture the whole picture. But also, even if bust is business as…
I think there's a reasonable argument that our entire society right now is under AI psychosis: The stock market keeps going up in the face of the indefinite closure of Hormuz. We're investing in datacenters at a scale…
There are a lot of valid reasons to hate AI, but I don't think "morale of Meta engineers" is a very good one. What were they building? Maybe it was fun--some fun tech seems to have come out of Meta--but what was its…
It's really not clear to me how MAGA people getting scammed will encourage their world view, or that there's meaningful room for further embittering them. Maybe, but perhaps they'll be discouraged! Or perhaps they'll…
I think it's often entirely reasonable to shed one's empathy for someone who displays no empathy for people like you. Tit-for-tat isn't always the best policy, but it's not psychopathic either. A considerable portion of…
That's valid, but it's also worth knowing it's only one part of the puzzle. The submission title doesn't say "input".
AFAICT this uses a token-counting API so that it counts how many tokens are in the prompt, in two ways, so it's measuring the tokenizer change in isolation. Smarter models also sometimes produce shorter outputs and…
I'm willing to believe this but the explanation given in the article doesn't make sense to me: > When Random House was a tiny independent company, it could make a tidy profit by publishing books that sold just ten…
Ok, good to have that explanation. Your larger point, though, remains incoherent. Whether Anthropic saw this coming has nothing to do with the substance of the conflict here and is very much not "the real question".
Companies have to comply with subpoenas (unless they can beat them in court, and with an alternative of going to jail). Subpoenas are supposed to be targeted at individuals and need some kind of process, usually…
A subpoena isn't mass surveillance.
I already suspected the first comment was by an LLM, but deleted that from my reply as it didn't feel like a productive accusation. However, with "that's a fair point" as an opener, plus the sheer typing speed implied…
What do subpoenas have to do with anything? Where is all the weird misinformation in these comments coming from?
It's not recent news that Anthropic has (had?) DoD contracts. This is a lot of words to write while seeming ignorant of basic facts about the situation.
