@ObbeVermeij Hey Obbe, I know you want to maximize your day1 experience, but curious to know: is it normal for there to be builds of the game fairly well into dev cycle where they still retain the previous iterations engine mechanics and animations?
The internet and 'digital', as we know it, is going to change radically.
- AI content leading to a fundamental problem of verification
- Cybersecurity turning on it's head with the new SoTA models
Pursuing a traditional internet business model today may not be a wise idea
Every single thing Mark Zuckerberg has done apart from buying other companies and exploiting teens has failed miserably.
- Facebook Phone
- Meta AI
- Metaverse
- what else?
I sincerely hope this leads to a mass talent exodus from OAI to Anthropic.
Until now, it was possible to brush off Anthropic’s principles as empty promises — they sounded good, but in some sense they were still untested. Sure, Anthropic had delayed certain features (like giving Claude access to the internet) while they pursued additional safety testing, but it wasn’t clear if that approach would hold when real pressure arrived.
But now the answer is clear: Anthropic is an organization with principles, one that is willing to put their money where their mouth is. Dario will stand up to an administration that has cowed every other notable tech leader into submission, including Sam.
I am personally terrified of what AI will mean for the world. I’m not sure anyone, no matter how principled, can effectively steer the ship. But I do know that Sam and OAI definitively cannot. Sam serves Moloch knowingly — he does so with no reservations.
So, if I have to entrust this ship to anyone, it’d be Dario. He, along with all the incredible folks I’ve gotten to know at Anthropic, are the reason I still have hope for the future.
I thought it would take a bit longer, but the slime showed up instantly and nabbed the deal as expected :)
"The next zuckerberg" is already here, and upgraded too (in the worst ways possible)
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed.
But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.
I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it.
More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.)
Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.
Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be.
We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare.
One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path.
As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything.
We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win.
We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users.
This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.
Was there a catastrophic drop in writing quality with Family Man S3 or did i watch S1 and 2 with rose-tinted glasses?
Indian secret agents who are supposed to be protecting the nation - trauma dumping and making out with each other like two teenagers on a first date
Never buy a phone through @Flipkart !
It's a dying business that does not give a flying fuck.
This is how they shipped my 20k phone and won't allow me to request a replacement. Unreal.
Microsoft confirms "Update and Shut Down" was actually restarting Windows 11.
If you have ever noticed Windows 11’s Update and Shut Down not actually shutting down your PC and restarting instead, you’re not alone.
Many of us probably developed a little trust issue with that button because the PC kept bouncing back to the sign-in screen.
Turns out it was a known issue with Windows 11 and even Windows 10. It's finally fixed.
This fix will begin rolling out to everyone with this month's Patch Tuesday, scheduled for November 11.
Requires Build 26200.7019 / 26100.7019 or newer.
Never board @VandeBharatExp@IRCTCofficial
For 1.5k per ticket from Chennai to Mysore, they are blaring excruciating loud ads with music constantly. What the living fuck is this torture???
I thought the worst form of capitalism was ads on phone lockscreens. Not this shit
Wondering if it's finally time to stop waiting for drastic cognitive improvements in LLM architecture and sit tf down for some beautiful engineering/product implementations (assuming current ceiling) targeting reliability & cost efficiency
One shortcoming of LLMs as a conversational learning tool:
Its inability to sense novelty in analogies and thereby the excitement in taking conversations to a "less explored area".
So you don't know if you're onto something or just reinventing the wheel
