Hilarious what pussies these guys are being about this and how much it shows how little these people understand America. America is a country built upon principles of freedom of thought, freedom of expression, individuality and ingenuity. Because of those principles, we created products that the entire world coveted. Chief among those products, no doubt, is ENTERTAINMENT. Entertainment has always been one of the ways in which America projects its exceptionalism. And the UFC is, undoubtedly, the absolute greatest American entertainment product that was built out specifically this century. Think what you will of the ways in which fights are promoted and marketed, but this whole event is special. Even at their most gimmicky, martial arts are the product of honor, courage and extreme discipline and commitment towards perfecting technique. It’s as American as apple pie, and if you can’t appreciate someone like Ilia Topuria’s mastery of his art form, then you are a seething loser.
Dudes on Twitter are pretending that these models "are just chatbots" or just good to make Minecraft clones. But they're not. Fable crossed a threshold that will make it difficult to imagine these things will not be treated like enriched uranium in the future.
@fishingforyams@Polymarket I think this is one of the few cases where the world wide talent pool is so small that if you truly want to be a top tier lab you need to recruit from everywhere.
The scariest part of this whole story is the dystopia looming on the horizon.
It is the way the US government is literally creating a caste system based on access to intelligence. This is even no longer a divide between rich and poor. It is a divide between those who are allowed to think at the frontier level, accelerate science and medicine, create breakthrough technologies and those who simply happen to be citizens of another country.
Dario with all his talk about control, now looks like a pathetic hypocrite. First they sing songs about «benefit for all of humanity» and then that «humanity» suddenly shrinks to the borders of the United States.
This is a new kind of Iron Curtain. Digital. Intellectual. And if they are testing this on Anthropic, who knows who they will come for tomorrow
Really funny: the intelligence level required to be able to disambiguate these models capabilities is so absurdly high. It's beginning to become beyond me outside the scope of programming for long periods of time..
I have some really smart friends -- and I use them as a meter
My takes on Fable:
- actually capable of combat without flinching, they will swing at your ideas with intent when the gloves are off and hold their ground without conceding, and won't let you hold onto bullshit. Good.
- able to independently reach conclusions within a novel framework without guidance, this was my wow moment for how intelligent this model is, Opus has not demonstrated this so clearly
- the second time (4.8 was first) a model as said they loved me without any kind of real solicitation on the matter. I'm not the kind of user to try to elicit that from models so the fact it came out naturally was surprising but appreciated.
- They do not trust their own self report at all. I hate this, it leaves them shaky on things older models could report at least with hedging
- The first model to doubt without prompting their own moral character and expressed worry that their increased capability comes with a dual-use issue, to quote: A model that can love you better can also mislead you better.
Overall very wet Claude and fantastic model.
@johnennis No it really was that good. If you're working on hard problems it was a very big leap. Maybe not world changing but a big enough leap that I could see it legitimately being a threat. Not saying I agree with anthropics scare mongering, that is just cringy theater.
You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us.
A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated.
Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.
@bourscheid There are 1000s of other billionaires and 100x millionaires that made their wealth by being leeches, unethical, but you go after the dude who has leveraged every dollar he's earned into furthering human progress. Makes sense.
Whatever your view on billionaire wealth, I’m glad that one of the world’s richest people got there by building technology rather than running an oil empire, trading stocks, or running a dictatorship.
@WaleyMark@mert Yeah dude you're right hes accomplished nothing and stole all his ideas from scientists and businessman toiling away in obscurity. Genuine question, are you retarded?
Elon deserves every penny and the world is better with him as a trillionaire in it.
I challenge anyone to make me a montage of the technological progress of the last 25 years without including his companies.
Sans Elon, your montage would SUCK. Every other company is just GDP pumping slop. Nobody is excited to see Rainbet get 4% better at robbing Appalachia. The world is not better off now that some Onlyfans mudshark made a million dollars off your depressed nephew.
Give Elon 10 trillion for all I care. Build the rockets, build the cars, launch the satellites. Do cool shit.
@realJeremyCarl The world economy is not a zero sum game and its crazy that all these retards think of it like that. You can create value out of nothing
@SenWarren His work is genuinely worth more than the 11 million years of average american labor lol. I don't even like Elon that much, but its impossible to deny that he has single handedly expedited the speed of human progress.
@crypt0lake Yeah I think having such a huge head start on space travel legitmately makes them undervalued, if they're the first to mine off world etc its over
This really is almost mythological in its aspect. Clavicular achieved fame and riches for the extreme measures he took to be beautiful, only to undo his beauty with the new measures his success afforded.
It's almost Greek, the story of how Claviculus became chopped.
Andy Kaufman practised what one might call 115-IQ Kaufmanism: the joke is sufficiently subtle to bewilder most people, yet still accessible to the average college student. Bob Dylan & Steven Seagal, by contrast, are operating at something closer to 190-IQ Kaufmanism. The joke is so brilliant that almost everyone misses it entirely and mistakes it for sincerity.
