i don't think ai companies are under any obligation to not dedicate its chips to the highest revenue per watt application, and there are strong arguments to be made that that's the most pro-social thing to do
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
This is Grabby-Ape mind... Please apply some love and grace.
You can use Grabby-Ape mind to create very interesting universes!
Too much Grabby-Ape and the universe becomes uninteresting again.
If you are tech-right, you are consciously or subconsciously demoralized by the fact that EAs have been right over and over and over again, and so you have a strong bias to believe 1) AI performance is overstated, 2) even if AI works, this time won't be different economically i.e. AI will not take jobs, 3) the political economy of 2) is not worth thinking about.
So no one on the right has a vision for the future in which we get ASI and it radically concentrates power, demanding some formula based on human values to allocate resources.
I want to live in a future oriented around glory, heroism, and beauty. EAs want to live in a world of technocratic galactic equitism. If you agree with me, you should start taking AI and EA predictions around it very seriously.
This is horrifying and dangerous---use of this should be *strictly* regulated.
I suspect modern AIs are already implicitly doing something similar, but this could automate and accelerate the creation of real infohazards.
"The keyboard & mouse are slowly dying" is a funny investment thesis.
Coatue Management *is* a keyboard & mouse. A hedge fund is also a link between intent (want more money) and computation (get more money).
Either they pull the ladder up, or Coatue dies alongside the keyboard.
BREAKING: Max Cook (@maxlbcook), Sector Head at Coatue (@coatuemgmt) says..
"The keyboard & mouse are slowly dying." :(
Cook also offers a bigger Q for the market:
"What happens when OpenAI or Anthropic decide to offer smaller, cheaper, fine-tuned production models as products?"
Cook argues the real AI debate might actually not be open vs. closed models
It's what happens when frontier labs begin competing across the entire model stack..
Offering everything from cutting-edge reasoning models to smaller, efficient, low-cost, production-grade models for enterprise

In SF, I spend my days in the cloud.
I can't affect the cloud. I can't change his location or trajectory. Like me, he's a necessary result of the initial singularity.
But this city is built on the hope that someday we can reason with the cloud, and ask him to show us the sky above.
I don't think he will mind.
I have also heard some of this independently, and believe the following to be true. GPT-6 is the next release from OpenAI. It's their true answer to Mythos, and it will arrive much sooner than people expect. Model release cadence has been speeding up for a while now. It's possible that GPT-6 even arrives within the next four weeks. When I say 'arrive', however, it may not mean a general release, because if the last couple of months are any indication, GPT-6 will almost certainly be held back by the government, at least initially.
It's a new, much larger pretrain as leo says. Mythos changed everything. Everyone is going big. Including Elon who has a 10T Grok in training. Both OpenAI and Anthropic see capabilities increasing rapidly, with advancement continuing on a new trajectory over the rest of this year and beyond. Both labs are very confident in what they have internally and see nothing above us but air. No ceiling.
i want a job that's like, red-teaming society. i want the usgov to give me a $500k grant and a secret writ to see if i can set up a bioweapons lab without getting arrested, or smuggle suicide drones into the country, stuff like that, and then report on how i did it
