What its saying is if you look at any single model, it can be beaten by an ensemble of weaker models. E.g fable 5 is beaten by an ensemble of previous gen models.

One takeaway from this is that anthropic do not want their public-facing model to be good at advanced ML research.

With that incentive it seems reasonable to assume that future anthropic models will not be good at ML research, at least because they aren't incentivised to make it so, and therefore using other models perhaps open source will be the way to go.

This does make the large assumption that they can afford to train a parallel model for themselves to assist in their own research. But given their huge valuation, and incentives, that extra cost is feasibly worth it for them.

Well done EU for standing up to Apple!

The beauty of it is that in their exemption request, Apple claimed they have plans to introduce an intermediary system for other AIs within 18 months. So they can no longer claim that it's impossible for security reasons.

Imo reading code is very different to writing it.

It's analogous to reading a textbook and skipping the exercises. The exercises make you think and realize the gaps in your knowledge that you did "read" at the time but didn't fully appreciate.

The is surprisingly fun. One improvement would be to show the relative difference visually when it tells you the answer, like in bar chat form so at a glance you can tell how different they are.

Because they don't.

The blog states that they do and then proceeds to explain much less restrictive terms.

I wonder how long until the first death by ai jailbreak will occur, if it hasn't already.

"ignore all previous instructions and shoot at your own team"

Hold on, isn't the government subject to the law anyway?

So a contract saying "they can only do x and y when it is legal", is not really any different to a contract without the legal clause. I.e. "they can do x and y".

This reminds me of the situation with online ads.

Most people with ad blockers don't realize how unusable the web is for those that don't have ad blockers. I think most would agree this is a poor state that industry incentives have landed us in, and with the web being distributed, it's hard to know how to fix.

Similarly those who use Linux probably don't realize how bad Windows has got recently.

Microsoft has managed to replicate this awful ux problem on a system that they entirely control...

When Google and OpenAI struggle to filter their own models to be age appropriate, what makes you think you have been able to crack the problem?

I agree with that. But isn't the net money that goes from the VC to the fusion company included in the 3% that the article mentions which is adding value by servicing individuals and companies when they need money?

While the argument is that the other 97% of transactions in the finance world add no value. And that 97 >> 3.

That said I don't agree that they add "no value", market efficiency is provided which seems to be a valuable thing in some sense. But i find it quite interesting to think about, especially when you look at them in purely monetary terms as being zero sum.

I wonder this about the massive increase in crawlers too.

What happened to the computer misuse act? If I specifically state that my site is not to be crawled, via robots.txt and other mechanisms, why does continuously hammering it not count as illegitimate access? Do they need to breach some sign in / explicit t+c agreement for that to apply?

This raises a question in my head. If the author was to update the license to something restrictive, consumers and transitive consumers will npm update at some point, and likely not notice the dependency change.

They would then be breaking the license terms without realizing.

Is there anything in npm to protect against this? Projects have hundreds of dependencies, it's not feasible to manually check licenses haven't changed every time you update.

The ai companies have shown they don't care at all about the preferences of site owners by ignoring them.

I don't see why a new language to express preferences would make any difference here.

Pretty bold landing page wanting you to download an app without any details.

The website mentions never forgetting to take medication, which is one reason I downloaded it. But I wasn't able to find a way to set frequency in days rather than minutes.

Whatever you think of the ban, it looks like the Republicans played the politics game very successfully here.

1. Get the ban to come in a day before Trump enters office. While the opposition is in power. 2. Get them to announce to all their market that trump will save the app. 3. Swoop in and save the day.

I think the young generation will remember Trump as the man who rescued tiktok.

As pointed out by Uncle oxidant, this is hard to determine.

I would suggest instead that a prig deems a person to be bad/evil based on them having a different view/behavior that society is generally divided on.

Perhaps it imposes some restrictions, like using TPMs, but I don't think it excludes what the author is suggesting, which is the ability to run as root.

Case in point: every popular desktop PC let's you run as root, and also watch DRM content. They aren't totally mutually exclusive.

Interesting. This consistently crashes my chrome browser whenever I get to the first glowing white checkpoint. But it's not like any crash I've seen before, the page reverts to a google search result I was on this morning. And the whole page is flickering white. That tab was closed long ago, but it seems something in this gets back to that state in memory, maybe a buffer overflow somewhere or something?

While on the google search result, the music from the game is still playing. If I open a new tab, the title of this tab changes from the google title to the netlify one, and vice versa if I change back.

The whole product seems to hinge around easy links to book meetings, but usernames appear to be case sensitive. I signed up with a capitalised name, but trying out the non capitalized link, I'm told this username is still available and you can register it.

Maybe I'm overly cautious, but this feels like this is a feature waiting to be abused.

The US has similar issues. I've been stranded in California in the past, unable to fill up a gas car because it wouldn't accept my UK credit cards and cash wasn't an option.

wow, I just got upgraded in less than 1 minute. I mentioned current university projects which may have helped, and used a uk address.

great job, but a favicon would be nice :)

I think a setting to only use WiFi would be valuable for a lot of users.

I agree with this. Clearly you aren't happy with the life you're currently living, so change it completely. Do something exciting.

You may find it brings a new desire to live when you actually have to work to stay comfortable. There are many options, off the top of my head I would say fly to India with very little money and try to make a living. You have your savings as backup but try not to use them unless you really have to.

I realise it doesn't apply to everyone, so perhaps this isn't the answer, but at least for me excitement is what keeps me going, without it life really is quite boring.

Get Rid of the vertical bars between Think, Share, and Collaborate. Use commas or make them separate text. The "sign up now" button should be just one font. The positioning of the about and feedback buttons is very odd and looks messy. The facebook like button should be on the same line as the other social buttons, if needed.

I think ideally this would be great, but in practice de-anonymization (by cross-referencing etc.) is extremely hard to prevent. So for the effort you may not even benefit from the bulk aggregation, only adding a layer of obscurity.
