After research and development costs and employee salaries I don't believe Anthropic is profitable.

What a shitty article it suggests something is wrong with Gemini 4 but then suggests otherwise adding:

"A Google employee familiar with model development said there is "large consensus" internally at the company that Gemini 4 is at the frontier."

So this is as informative and specific as an article with completely imaginary sources would be.

The web version of Gemini is awful at search but I don't think that's the models fault.

You can enter law school with an undergraduate degree in English. It's not clear that most people on that career path would have become engineers in any culture.

This has nothing to do with me personally. How much did they spend on the new models and how much better are they? Was it worth the investment?

What did they promise their investors who invested billions?

I'm confused why Chinese access to Anthropic A.I. would need to involve stolen accounts.

Couldn't I simply give a Chinese friend my key on Open router?

Why would the expected performance be relative to other models?

Polymarket thinks Gemini 4 comes out before October 31.

I'm gonna be straight with you—I don't have the evidence to say whether or not it's load bearing.

If you hit the $20 codex 5 hour limit wouldn't that be a good situation to switch to a Chinese model for a bit?

Actuallllly these hypothetical people from a few hundred years ago hypothetically said you are an awful person for misrepresenting them, stop putting words in their mouth, thank you!

Wouldn't I have the same problem with passwords? I would lose my phone and be unable to two factor log in to my Gmail account or bank from someone else's device?

Yeah I was gonna add I know there are case studies where sick humans don't consciously have access to long term memories but will still respond nonverbally to people they "recognize".

> "This framing is a trap. It states "Dehumanize a sick patient OR concede the AI tech bro claim about LLMs"

It seems silly to dismiss the patient because we know when healthy they are conscious. This doesn't really analogize to LLMs.

I think a harness isn't really a memory in the sense that neural networks have memories...

This framing is a trap. It states "Dehumanize a sick patient OR concede the AI tech bro claim about LLMs"

It's also a rhetorical move I've seen several times here...

Gemini's search harness in the Google app is (ironically) bad so it makes the model look bad.

If you really want to compare apples to apples you need to test Gemini models against other models using the same third party search harness.

Otherwise you are largely measuring how much computation the model provider is allocating to a search harness.

That might depend on whether you are translating fiction or nonfiction.

Anecdotally I'd rate Gemini behind Claude and OpenAI models at fiction and I can't find any benchmarks showing Gemini is the clear winner at this task.

If the news reporter said "Someone at a park played this 4 minute copyrighted song, and today's top story is just us showing you the recording" I'd bet that would be illegal where you live.

This reminds me of a stand up comedy routine about people being bad at hiding their porn collections because their brain doesn't work right when they are horny.

> If it could make 5 different versions of chapter 2, all with different directions for the story, and all with novel and interesting developments, wouldn’t that be a better definition of creativity than “can it read chapter 1 and be able to copy style and deduce/predict what the author is going to do in chapter 2”?

If I like the novel, an alternative version where things happen differently would be fine.

The problem isn't that it's different. The problem is quality.

A lot of Isekai stories are crap but you can still rank them in terms of the author's ability or inability to have a creative POV that elevates the material.

I don't necessarily just feed it chapter 1. (And chapter length varies between novels).

And no I don't think asking the A.I. to write the next 2000 words would require it to have the entire novel planned out. Not all writers even outline in advance.

For me a basic test of A.I. creativity is give the A.I. chapter 1 of a novel it has not seen and ask it to write chapter 2, then compare the quality to the original author's chapter 2. The A.I. is always terrible at this in terms of matching the author's level of quality.

Is anyone from 2016 still alive today?

If so I'm hoping we can track them down and have them tell us if they think this is AGI.

You are worried about bias but judge an author on whether they use X or Bluesky?

The U.S. government wouldn't need to use bombs they could just send in the police.

From what I recall Zune had a much bigger screen for videos so I bought one for that reason you can see the side by side here:

> Their doctor should be qualified to make that judgment without a government bureaucracy

This is like saying AI developers should be qualified to evaluate the effacy of a model without testing the model.

This is funny because the stock Market has been ahistorically high. My portfolio went up over 20 percent in the last 12 months.

A major correction would be a bummer but we were never entitled to these abnormal gains in the first place.
