This from June 2nd, two days ago. I don't know if anyone cares about the Mythos release date but I don't think this suggests "we're about to release it next week."

seems like a bad sign if anthropic engineers don't write their own code and only use Claude, but in their interview process you only write code and never use Claude

The defining principle of our society is that people who were lucky during the dot com boom or Web 2.0 should have vast and ever-growing individual power over the entire world. The only acceptable check on their power is their squabbles with each other.

Ok so actual concern:
*Agent take-off is real but also driven by a new FOMO cycle + premature SaaS-style milking. On pure economic basis (let’s disregard ethics), totally fine to stock up capital except it’s immediately converted into immutable infrastructure commitments/build-out. Briefly growth source is unstable but allocation isn’t.
*GPU shortage is driven by hardware builders anticipating boom/bust cycle. Maybe it’s just post-COVID trauma (that’s @citrini stance), but can’t totally discount they also react to unhealthy econ signals. At least in Europe I see several instances of cluster not being built, this is the kind of info that travels.
*IPOs add up to uncertainty: any growth correction will be heavily scrutinized now. Labs still have real leverage but mostly in the pain register (like Mythos-style disruption) and I’m not entirely sure you can effectively sustain trillion level growth on value destruction.

The primary obstacle to concluding a US-Iranian agreement is that appearances, and particularly the phenomenon known in Washington as "saving face", is absolutely central to US political culture.

In this context it means that a way must be found to make Washington appear victorious despite the regional and geopolitical setbacks it has inflicted upon itself.

It is unclear at this point whether Iran's leadership doesn't understand or doesn't care about the requirements of US culture.

@Dorialexander Why so?

@MazMHussain Even just Saudi Arabia and Jordan denying usage of their airspace is probably enough to create immense complications.

the prostitution of academic institutions in lending their centuries of institutional credibility behind slopified ai curriculums will one day be studied when their brand holds zero financial/social value and they employ no one but admins and ai professors regurgitating the same mindless talking points you get from searching linkedin

Re: “if you can’t explain it to a 5-year-old you don’t understand it,” I do try to explain something about what I’m working on to my 3-year-old. She is interested, though instead of “lines on a cubic threefold” she sometimes excitedly refers to “LIONS on a cubic threefold.”

@PaulFranklin76 @IranIntl_En "Iranian regime as incompetent militarily" Iran just fought the world's most powerful country to a standstill and seems to be getting a rather favorable peace agreement out of it.

@M_Ann_C_hilist @suchenzang You're operating off the assumption that "more theoretical field"="greater reasoning intelligence."

Unit distances result is very exciting, but re: “math is solved” — humans regularly solve long-open problems, and yet infinitely more interesting open problems remain.

The ceasefire with Iran went into effect on April 7 so we are now coming up on a month and a half of escalating damage inflicted on the global economy without either a decision to resume the war or just exit the situation. This is aggravating most of the planet which is understandably furious at the increasing negative externalities of incompetent and immoral U.S. hegemony.

@suchenzang I have always found you to be profoundly wise.

@provisionalidea 2018 was before even GPT-2, so whatever they thought their path was had nothing to do with LLMs. I think they were still mainly screwing with Dota at the time.
