I wonder how much of modern LLM performance for coding has come from the frontier labs noticing earlier this year that verification can get you multiplicative improvements in correctness, and then RL'ing the hell out of the model to do that

[Mark Bao @markbao]

okay intelligence is solved, now all we need is a multi-zone air fryer so different ingredients of a dish can finish at the same time, who's working on this

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@j_smith @andpoul let's absolutely go 🔥

[Mark Bao @markbao]

Same, I had to mute the phrase 'data center'

X's tendency to go crazy feeding you negativity like this must be doing psychic damage to the commons

[saltorious @saltorious1]

I interacted with one anti-AI post and now my timeline is full of the worst takes you've ever seen

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@Youssofal_ People have been saying this forever. And yet mere weeks ago, Opus 5.5 was released which has been the best intelligence per dollar subscription that ever existed.

[Mark Bao @markbao]

Fable 5.2 hypeeeee, how is it at frontend / Claude Design?

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@ccheever y'all absolutely cooked omg

[Mark Bao @markbao]

At this point any tech journalist with an audience should be required to put a billion tokens through a frontier LLM before having a take.

These guys are like car journalists who hate cars, reviewing a car they haven't driven, and generalizing that to the entire car industry.

[Mark Bao @markbao]

Another tech journalist who hates tech and progress. Imagine thinking a billion users using AI today aren't "convinced" it's useful and that companies need to make "better products" to convince them

Also how are they going to make better products without training in datacenters?

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@arikuschnir pause. is that zuck or @danshipper

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@ryaneshea gotta try @niteshiftdev, the goat

[james hawkins @james406]

imagine typing "make it lookb etter" every hour from here

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@univrsw3th4rt Are we talking soft chocolate chip cookies, or thin with slightly burnt edges

[Mark Bao @markbao]

Don't want data centers? Don't use 'em ‼️

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@DraculaPresley @MTSlive wdym they currently have $112 billion in cash and are profitable 😭

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@DraculaPresley @MTSlive We already have AGI lmao and RSI is absolutely happening. And Anthropic makes most of their money from enterprise

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@DiscussingFilm Not me mistaking this for the plot of Code 3

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@stupidtechtakes did you purposefully pick a dumb model to support your 'point'

[Mark Bao @markbao]

@gabemulley Wouldn’t mind this being configurable or perhaps learned from interaction data. My Duet is awesome, but chattier bots sometimes surface stuff that’s useful.
