I don’t understand why they’re doing this? Is extending the grid to their shiny new DC so expensive they’d rather build on top or right next to housing? Is it the water supply ? I don’t understand why someone would do something so clearly self defeating

Anthropic feels like a star trek computer, everything else feels like a machine - accurate but not really human like in its responses.

Wow. I’d never heard such a powerful and accurate analogy for what we’re doing.

This is I believe one of the markers for small fiber neuropathy which is now increasingly being found in association with long covid and related syndromes.

There are tests for it. SFN biopsy, tilt table, ETT.

I did see a doctor.

I did see a doctor. I’m mid diagnosis / testing.

hopefully we will get somewhere with these studies. The lack of solid research on a disease that affects millions (likely a good percentage undiagnosed) is really tough for patients - and myself really, as I've found i likely suffer from this.

Finding out about autonomic dysfunction and small fiber neuropathy as I researched my own fatigue and finding out I likely have this has been very challenging.

A24 enforces a list of cinematographers you have to work with I believe.

Netflix enforces time-budget-nr of episodes per season and HDR tech spec requirements that seems to have lead to the single most recognisable “house style” in modern studios (a mix of tech specs and limited budgets I think).

So yes it’s possible.

You’re touching upon the very essence of being an actor, which is a form of shamanism of the human experience.

All societies I know of developed actors and forms of theatre. Why? Because they are essential, I suspect.

The thing is they seem to have taken Romero as a template vs an exceptional individual that might have required two people to duplicate in output (which is common).

Incarceration would be nuts.

Is it possible they are just falling behind ?

Their newest model wasn’t really SOTA. And honestly fable 5 was the most human like model I’d ever tried. It was an incredible jump.

And recently lots of Claude users at r/ClaudeAI are noticing Opus 4.8 has really increased in capability. Not new things but maybe redirected compute. It just feels like one of the best models ever, maybe because the compute that was previously assigned to Fable has been redirected? It feels incredible.

The minidisc was probably beautifully designed. I still have a player and some sample discs because I found them so beautiful. No wonder Ive and Jobs used to go “what would Sony do?” As a design round at early Apple 2.0

Why is this shocking ?

Decades. It took decades. My understanding is a lot of historians see the first decades as major economic growth while most British people actually became smaller and shorter due to malnutrition.

All people I know hear when they hear AI is - they are automating art, there are layoffs incoming, they want to build a data centre next to me that will make my electricity costs go up, they are automating the consumer help call center.

The positive views of AI are really increasingly concentrated amongst some of the tech heavy population.

It is absolutely a Chinese century. Even the comment above isn’t wrong per se - great power competition is normal during the interregnum, ie as Arrighi described it - one hegemon is rising while another is declining. But eventually one of them does rise and the world conforms to that - ie America in post WW2.

I suspect AI summaries are just reducing peoples need to click through on anything, possibly.

The issue with EU is its not one market, for funding or deploying a company of any kind. There is both no funding scale and no easy distribution scale. Same thing with any kind of lobbying you need to do to move laws to be more amenable to tech, you have to do it 20+ times. Nobody does this, which is why smart EU and UK talent migrates to the US, scales, then just uses the weight of their US business to change reality around them in the EU anwyay. For the most part.

LLM assisted search is now one of the best ways to look into dense and obscure topics though, particularly given as google search quality has degraded. All it needs is for you to read the sources.

Source hallucination has also come down tremendously.

it seems to dislike biological chats. Rejected me on a chat that I am running with 4.8 as well on a rare condition I have.

75$ a month for a cell phone? I pay 18$ monthly for mine. This is Southern Europe where the average monthly wage is 1000$. I dont know who could afford yet another 75$ expense.

Can 5% of the population even pay for that? Some kind of huge increase in prices for compute and inference and companies maintaining large bills for AI assistants for key employees or teams (1000-2000$) seems most likely to me.

This is nowhere near the plane of possibilities, unless you assume the system is completely incapable of self correcting.

Its not. I’m happy we had this conversation. I respect your attention to detail and fastidiousness.

I knew this would be the conclusion. Again - good luck. You are always right.

If you’re right and everyone else is wrong about hundreds if not thousands of studies, then you should be writing a book, not comments in HN.

We started at “some studies have errors” and we ended in “an entire field of research is wrong”.

You have already decided the field has no valid studies. Even when given dozens of examples you picked one and made up a series of points about one study. You made mistakes, never admitted it, and now are calling into question an entire field of medical research.

Again. Good luck with that.

We seem to have reached, maybe, the point where more human beings is not necessarily a positive. Capitalist society through supply and demand seems to be signalling this - we seem to be running out of transformative capacity to keep building essential stuff like housing in many countries, without increasing our already fairly disruptive footprint.

This just seems self correcting to me - on both axis. It’s an organism not a linear process. It will fix itself later same as it seems to be doing now.

Why are you concerned about something that’s so far away from your lifetime ? There are so many problems - this one might even be self correcting - yet you seem prone to seeing it as an imminent catastrophe where you have to focus your attention on?

Yes of course.

It’s lockdown and now no lockdown. Could be anything. All observational studies are wrong. The stated limitations are fatal flaws. You heard it here first in HN. All medical research is fatally flawed, says user “timr”.

Good luck with that.
