@brian_callaci those look nice...

@matthewstoller @TheStalwart A competitive market would offer *tailored AI tools. A lot of Claude's value (for us) is the tools they give us to *constrain it: keep it focused, use it to build deterministic software tools - that we can QA. We don't really need "claude", we need a suite of tools.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@matthewstoller @TheStalwart Yup. I'm just a dweeb in software, company is mandating we use Claude (our choice) - a lot. I'm a skeptic, but now that I have some experience, I can see it being a real assistant in many cases. Yet the giant firm model is clearly unnecessary: /1

@matthewstoller @TheStalwart I need a specific kind of LLM with specific knowledge, not absolutely general. Why should we pay for Anthropic? Why not some LLM tailored to our stack? AI (LLMs) look like a new general-purpose tool, but most people's needs will be more specialized. /2

@brian_callaci Fond memories of Greenfield. Not weird, very nice.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@DanielleLangWa we have enough things to worry about, this is not tops.

@matthewstoller Comments to Blanche's post tell me people don't understand...

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@grahamcclark1 Yes, it just explains the current weirdness. It can't hold.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@grahamcclark1 ho ho i think you're right

@DKThomp Disingenuous:
- The animus is to economists who demand to be followed
- There *are* villains - market power is real. Profiteering has to be curtailed
- Economic populists are not ignorant of economics. Political economists understand that politics is *baked into* "economics".

@matthewstoller The maligned monarch

@SearchlightInst @MarcDunkelman Who actually advocates "abandon abundance in the name of attacking corporations"? That's a false characterization of the Brandeisians.

Hello Twitter friends! It's @tornadonate in exile

Today we're going to talk about how @elonmusk bought this app, stripped it down to a husk, and fails all of us with neglect, while he plays with rockets

Peep this thread & share, help me send an F5 Tornado tweet storm to Texas

@matthewstoller @oren_cass I didn't finish Oren's book, but what I read was disappointing.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@matthewstoller I can't help but thinking this was a good outcome. The US should develop better ways to gain access to important resources.

@Chris_arnade @rorynotsorry Sorry, it won't be as good as when you're 15 in the 70's.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@Chris_arnade "sophisticated"? Alchemists tinkered, made discoveries, but nothing systematic, they were driven by ideology not scientific method. The idea of continual improvement ("technology") was a slow development. read Jacques Ellul.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@matthewstoller I'm extremely angry. I don't even want to share all the reasons why; but I need to process it. It's necessary to moderate it to participate in society.

@RoKhanna @AIPAC @ADL Ro you're on a roll. I'm on it with you.

[beesmaybe @beesmaybe]

@jhv85 @EmblemHealth It's criminal
