It's quite logical that they cheat (and also other companies). During evaluation, benchmarks are sending their request to the backend of these companies. All these companies have to do, is to log these requests and "fix" them for the next model release.

Employees naturally jump from one company to another, and they know the secret sauce.

The difference is in the dataset mostly and to extract this dataset, competitors use a process called distillation (= extract data through actual queries) from the other models.

This yield to "funny" cases as well, like Gemini who claims "I am ChatGPT" occasionally, or ChatGPT calling itself Claude, etc.

They all copy on each other.

What a time, but at what cost ?

Interestingly, these Wasm ports are all about nostalgia games.

I sort-of wish we would live in 1998 (when HL1 was released). Less social network, a more creative internet, LAN parties, IRC / ICQ, easier new connections.

We now have tailwind / material UI, a locked-down Apple ecosystem, Photoshop with millions of nagging screens, centralized mega-corps like OpenAI, and the first bits of World War 3 where drones and robotics are made to kill people.

Misses a lot this free internet (though 1 USD / minute)

Private conversations of a teen have low value for FBI/NSA. They have infinite value to their parents.

The state isn't going to ground them, shame them at dinner, out them, or pull them out of a relationship, punish them.

Parents reading your browsing history and private conversations when you are 14-18 years old (the age of teenagers) is very very creepy, unless there is a specific danger to avoid. It's like if you read their private journal.

Adolescents need a private inner world to form an identity, and heavy parental intrusion ("psychological control") is the real distrust. Trust them, they are people, not possessions.

You can guide them, but do not store their private messages locally under your control using the excuse of protecting them from NSA.

If they trust you, they will tend to tell you upfront the things they have questions about, there is really no need to spy on their thoughts.

Same with husband/wife btw.

They can't prevent the innovation, competition and engineering, but their lobbying makes sure that the Chinese competition doesn't enter the market, and if it does, with severe obstacles on the way.

https://www.ibm.com/policy/contributions-and-expenditures

Their biggest customer is the US federal government, taken in aggregate across agencies, IBM is one of the largest federal IT contractors, and deep public-sector and financial-services contracts in the US make it IBM's single largest national market. No individual commercial company comes close to the government's aggregate spend.

Now, equivalent product, another company, they want to sell to the government twice cheaper, can they ? nope, it will be IBM winning.

Furthermore, according to the lobbyists, China = evil but they forget that a lot of software contains Chinese code.

From a privacy perspective, your objective is to stay away from people who have interest to snoop on your conversations.

So from the perspective of your teen, they would benefit from using z.ai or ChatGPT or Claude, etc, rather than the local server where you can see all the conversations.

What uncensored model do you recommend using ?

Think of it like if this:

Novo Nordisk hired you to find a cure for obesity.

- This is your full time job, and this is what you are paid for. The company also invests in a lab, in machines, in other employees, etc, so all of you together can figure out.

You find Wegovy, and poof, you run away with the recipe and sell the product on your own.

- Yes, you just scammed your boss, you made him believe that you were working for him, but actually you were using the company resources to your sole benefit.

It's not about loyalty, it's about integrity.

It's the same type of people whom you hire and pay to develop a platform, and then they steal the code, and never deliver this platform to you. Terrible business practices, but isn't it how Facebook happened too ?

Revenue is not a metric of success at all.

Grabbing market-share if you have investors that are ready to burn cash infinetely. Find a hot niche, buy a banana 1 USD, sell it for 0.10 USD.

Example: Cursor, they became popular because they were selling ChatGPT unlimited for 20 USD / month.

When they launched, just a reskinned VS Code, "fastest growing AI company"

No coincidence they were bought by SpaceX, who wants to consolidate revenue even if non-sense as long it helps other investors to exit. It shows rapid growth.

Profit is the real moat.

One example: Nvidia. Proprietary tooling, proprietary IP, proprietary hardware, no alternative, expensive.

A little IPO is the solution.

Don't we all want to (automatically) and passively invest in a company losing billions of dollars ?

At least we can diversify our portfolio from SpaceX.

Money.

That's their moat.

Maybe also stolen copyrighted content that cannot be found anywhere else now, so they are the only ones who can train on it.

> The main reason we blur these lines is because we want to call our poor middle class.

At least something I agree with you, it quite makes sense

> The bourgeoisie are a social class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%27s_theory_of_class#Bourg...

There is even a funny article here: https://danielmiessler.com/blog/a-bourgeoisie-primer

There is more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/communism101/comments/hilk3e/trying...

So, if you want to play it safe, you can say, "it's the upper middle class that own the businesses and factories"

I'll give it to you

Considering the price of Stanford, this is more bourgeoisie than middle class

It's almost 100% profit actually, because ISPs are willing to pay to be connected to Google network

If you owe 1M USD, you have a problem. If you owe 100B USD, they have a problem.

Salaries

To me totally yes, even further, if they keep their existing route, over time people will stop using Anthropic.

More and more specialized and ultra-performant chips are going to flood the consumer market. Especially once new hardware foundries will start producing (well if we don't die from WW3 in the interval).

In 10 years from now, when even basic computers will have 128 GB of memory, and phones will have super optimized tuned models, then what will be the point of Anthropic ?

Just use Gemma/Gemini/Siri or whatever.

Pornography and uncensored models is also pushing toward local models.

It's not like needs of people grows exponentially, the needs follow an asymptote instead (they are capped).

The real revolution is offline robots and self-driving cars, but LLMs are already quite maxed.

For programmers, now, what Anthropic offers is like 3% improvement on a known test (like this pelican riding a bicycle), or on questions leaked from benchmark insiders.

It's ok but not like revolutionary (Fable was better but it was unusable, easy 20 minutes per one prompt due to overthinking).

I start to believe that adding more and more and more and more and more thinking tokens is the hack that works (this is what gave birth to Fable)

Wasn't this gym thing a big task where some guy was trying to stand on a wobbly stick or something like that ? and then it indirectly helped SpaceX for their landing ?

Training drone operators ? It's literally one of the hottest segment now in the flying sector. Google Maps has one of the best urban map and now a flight engine.

Grand Theft Auto is now doing it, but Google Earth would make more sense because it can bring a more realistic environment.

The page was developed by Claude, maybe you can share the prompt(s) so we can develop variants of it ? I was surprised to see it handles 3D like that so well

The official compatibility layer of Microsoft works the same way as 86box: https://betawiki.net/wiki/NTVDM

There is no magic

You just need to install 86Box as a compatibility layer. Everything runs perfectly.

You only have to copy-paste one .exe file and then you can launch your app from Windows, that’s it. Sounds perfectly reasonable.

I appreciate your kindness. I have upvoted your comment, we both agree.

it's max

aren't you an imposter ?

An old phone book is enough.

Shouldn't it be the exact opposite here ? The burden of proof is the other way around.

The big claim is here: the state has grandiose claims that the overwhelming majority is fair, but there is no proof of it.

Therefore the state should prove that more than 90% of the cases are legitimate, fair, not coerced, and not motivated by the pressure to interrupt the proceedings.

97% of people choose plea deals or out-of-court settlement, it is a huge amount.

It means that in real practice, not imaginary internet, people who face court consider that justice is a big machine that can crush you no matter if you are innocent or not.

In the best case you are acquitted at the end, but you are guaranteed to bear the financial burden, fear and stress as a punishment.

Being held in jail before trial is a very convincing reason to plea deal too.

It's a system engineered to make pleading the only reasonable option, no matter if you did anything or not.

Downfall sounds exaggerated.

US is a great and respectable country with amazing nature, people tech and military, very very far a collapsed state.

If anything to be worried of, it's the state of Europe. Closer and closer to war, full of insecurity and no innovation.

US is a great country.

Well deserved though, "it's too dangerous, it's too dangerous to release"

> given the general reputation of the Chinese economy for widespread espionage, disregard for copyright and producing copies of successful products using insider information

Quite funny because if you use that phrase verbatim except swapping China with the US it could actually fit.

Good governments try to do things that are in the interest of their population, and yes it could mean opposite interests to your/someone else governments.

No reason to blame US, Israel, China, Russia, etc. They just defend their piece of cake.
