@uninsightful Permanent overclass status (i.e., made good decisions 2021-2026)

@benjamin_horne @altcap @shiri_shh Brotha went from “it’s $30b and stalled” to “it’s $60b and the second derivative expressed as a percentage is maybe negative”

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@benjamin_horne @altcap @shiri_shh Faster is a comparative adverb that accepts a second argument lol.

But it seems like you’re tacitly admitting that “$30bn and stalled” from your original argument was wrong and you meant “$60bn and the second derivative of growth is maybe shrinking”

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@benjamin_horne @altcap @shiri_shh I won’t speculate what the valuation ought be, but Anthropic’s ARR is above $60b now.

$30b + flattening out vs $60b + growing faster than any company at that scale in the history of capitalism seems like such a large delta that your mental model of the situation is broken

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@benjamin_horne @altcap @shiri_shh You are factually very incorrect

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@darksensory9 @AmitFudim @umichvoter So you’re not saying it’s inaccurate, you’re just saying you agree with it

At humans&, we train models from the long-term impacts of their interactions with people. This requires prioritizing long-horizon multi-agent RL. We've developed and are excited to share an open-source, hardware-native 4-bit RL recipe, significantly accelerating training

happy 4th 🇺🇸 eras are defined by huge infra projects like railroads and electrification. here's the start of the third cluster we're building with @DeepInfra. standing up thousands of chips insanely fast to train a new kind of intelligence

@deedydas For a couple of these examples the leaver would’ve had a higher net worth by just staying

@PageSix Ok in fairness there’s a Krispy Kreme in Penn station

@Hesamation “My bazooka misfires less than my BB gun but the bazooka is the one being regulated… this raises some serious questions”

Claude loves saying “the smoking gun” about things that aren’t a smoking gun

@arram The west village has kind of been a unique bird since the 60s with Jane Jacobs and all that tho right? Like we are still building in LIC, Jersey City, etc., plenty proximate to good economic opportunities. But I get your broader point!

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@zck - almost all private schools are non profits
- these already exist

@HrishbhDalal @wordgrammer Can no longer afford it

@brian_armstrong model routing is a non-negotiable for every company https://t.co/j1rhT9heCr

[Paul Quigley @pquiggles]

@radbackwards Talent isn’t zero-sum; the economically rational outcome is that people go wherever their marginal productivity is maximized. For a lot of people, that’s going to be the company adding $200m in ARR per day

@ShanuMathew93 I think the biggest open secret among the labs is that 4.7 and 4.8 were quasi sandbagged and that Ant is putting all its efforts into the mythos series
