If you work in an industry that is solely based off of customer delight, stories like these are what you are looking avoid due to brand damage. It is going to cost more time/energy to deal with the backlash than just coming up with a simple solution in the first place.
Because the future will be very dystopian if we place two tech companies as gatekeepers of everything in life. If Google locks your account and won't help you (which happens!), you don't want that to also take away your ability to bank, go to baseball games, etc.
You are suspicious because you probably haven't worked anywhere that's AI-first. Anyone that's worked at a modern tech company will find this absolutely believable.
Like what, you expect Nicholas to test each vuln when he has more important work to do (ie his actual job?)
If OpenAI does it too, well then I guess my principles will be challenged. Gemini CLI is unfortunately too eager to use Flash despite my setting it to use Pro, and it generates ass code that doesn't work, so that's out. I might have to invest in some GPUs then and run local. We'll cross that bridge when we get there though.
Oh nooo, labor might be automated and we might see advancement that makes the Industrial Revolution look small! Oh, the humanity! Please someone, stop progressing humanity, I need to cling to my sticks!
"frontier" as in the frontier of using everybody else's code, books, art of everyone else for a specific purpose that was never intended to, as in, not even open source projects ever imagined LLMs becoming a thing and their licenses reflected as much.
Not saying we shouldn't be careful with AGI. But the glib tone of "who cares if these companies die?" is where one needs to consider the consequences of AGI not happening or being delayed.
I struggle with the idea that AGI (which I don't think is coming via LLMs, but sidebar) will improve the outcomes of lives and not end up as a tool of privilege and control.
Pitch me on this utopian outlook, because nothing about any of the Frontier companies points away from dystopia to me
I thought we gave up on AGI and turned into making sex chatbots and simulated porn instead. Wasn't that what Sam was pushing for all along when he went all in on Sora and the erotic modes?
- you are assuming that an AGI will prevent more deaths than it would cause
- you are assuming that AGI is just around the corner and that scaling up language models is the path to get there
- you can make this argument about basically anything (nuclear power, tuberculosis medication, free healthcare). I’d say the burden of proof is on you to back up your extraordinary claim with extraordinary evidence.
> every delay to AGI results in deaths that AGI could have prevented
Sure, that's what AGI would be used for /s
In other news, we are not even close to AGI and even with the current experimental technology, frontier AI model companies are already fighting to help departments of war, which actually results in the most deaths. What makes you think AGI would be used for not leading to the same millions of deaths?
This post is about a man's struggle with a deadly cancer.
I cant understand how you could possibly think this question is not "tone deaf" unless you are genuinely autistic - not using it as an insult, genuinely curious - since such a question would be simply beyond the pale in polite society, given the context.
Sure, but this isn't really an AMA thread [despite the offer to "answer any questions"]. This is about Sid's journey with (extremely advanced) cancer. Airing grievances about Gitlab is just out of place here, you gotta read the room.
Paying different amounts for different regions is not being an asshole. Virtually every company on the planet does regional CoL adjustments.
And get a grip - you are free to bring value to the world in your way if you're not happy to be an employee. Attacking others that have done nothing to harm you is entirely uncalled for, especially on a discussion about their own cancer. Please act like an adult.
Because of all the hype and bullshit we excessively get from 3 years now, and from all « AI companies ». I do not trust any « AI company » today, especially not when they are close of a big deal with their IPO.
Cool for them I guess, but big tech does not mean quality today (Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Netflix… all those companies are doing s** today).
I continue to debug the code of my colleagues who use Claude everyday however. It is exhausting, but it saves the life of my low tech company today.
I guess I'm not seeing the "hype and bullshit." Here is the Opus 4.6 press release. Which claims specifically read as "hype and bullshit" to you? https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-6
