they are literally burning billions of dollars and can presumably keep doing this for a while. Taking a trivial amount of additional financial liability to launder their reputation wouldn't meaningfully improve things.

there is this bullshit term you hear paraded about the dwarkesh-adjacent circles: "capability overhang". Aside from being effectively meaningless jargon, there is a kernel of an idea that somehow the models are far more capable than what "normies" use them for.

Well, I think Siri AI puts this notion firmly to rest. Yes, if you have unlimited tokens and well-posed problems you can solve open Erdos problems. However, if you have meaningful real-world computational and reliability constraints then you better just stick to "summarize my messages and find the dogs in my photos".

And this isn't just Gemini, I can burn effectively unlimited Opus tokens and still get garbage code out or be run around in circles without very diligent oversight.

have you heard of people not surviving into old age, or not being present or not being able to take care of kids? What the fuck is wrong with people in this comment section?

It’s also a way to distract from the fact that alleged pedophile and rapist Elon had 3 underaged foreign nationals trafficked to him at the space x headquarters by convinced pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein, per the Epstein files.

Yeah “society” had millennia of that. It’s quite telling that perhaps less than a decade of taking women seriously led to a a vitriol filled backlash full of Tates, Trumps and the manosphere.

It’s also quite telling that your main complaint is Disney superhero movies. It’s difficult to think of something more juvenile and unimportant.

So few people understand how advertising on the internet works and that is I guess why Google and Meta basically print money.

Even here the idea that it’s as simple as “just sell ads” is utterly laughable and yet it’s literally the mechanism by which most of the internet operates.

Anthropic have consistently shown they don’t know shit about anything but training LLMs. Why should we consider their political/sociological/ethical work to be anything other than garbage with no scholarly merit.
