Literally nothing, so I stopped

I realized that even lifting weights, sleeping and eating well aren't enough

aren't enough for what?

support?

I'm yet to come across an Android app I can't run on GrapheneOS.. what exactly are they doing?

Now view this in contrast with what happened to Aaron Swartz

According to state and federal authorities, Swartz used JSTOR, a digital repository,[79] to download a large number[note 2] of academic journal articles through MIT's computer network over the course of a few weeks

...federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, increasing Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment

...On the evening of January 11, 2013, Swartz's girlfriend, Stinebrickner-Kauffman, found him dead in his Brooklyn apartment.[80][116][117] A spokesperson for New York's Medical Examiner reported that he had hanged himself

Isn't AI getting more accurate over time though, as per benchmarks?

Use it or lose it

If they don't matter why isn't GTA6 being built in React?

Tabs vs spaces makes no tradeoffs. Tech choices do

I mean people are using Claude Code because of their underlying LLM - they'll put up with Claude Code. There's no other real option to get Opus at a reasonably affordable price without CC.

Most people would choose to swim a lap through a pool of pee to get a billion dollars at the end. The pool of pee itself wasn't the once in a lifetime opportunity (for most).

Sorry, I'm bad at analogies.

They succeeded in spite of their tech choices. Their model outshone it, which is an extremely rare thing to happen and not something they could've counted on. In any other timeline they could've/would've been hurt by their choices.

It's like "why did you go all in on buying scamcoin 3.0 as your investment strategy?" -- "I 5xed my money! End of story! It was fine!"

The nice thing about it being open-weight is that you can uncensor it.

It's available to most, though.

Outside of really bad luck I've never seen a case where someone was in a situation of working hard + making reasonably okay decisions + struggling, and that's purely due to there being avenues available where you can be rewarded well for your effort if you're of average+ intelligence.

AI is threatening to take that opportunity away.

Only solution I can think of is higher taxes for the rich used to provide universal income. I'm not sure how the realities of that would play out, though.

Anything based on a free market just ends up in.. this.

this is a fairly bleak outlook even when you're trying to make it sound the opposite. Only the cream of the crop talent will have value going on?

Most of us aren't Terence Tao

unfortunately many won't get to experience it much because we'll be stressed and struggling to make a living

how much can I bill for having good core values?

Employees are rewarded by the process

Employers/owners are rewarded by the end result

It's obvious why employees using an LLM would get burnt out

You'd be surprised how easy GrapheneOS is to install. You literally do it through a browser with your phone connected via USB.

Imagine a carpenter needed to be proficient in hand-saws to use their chainsaw well, and using their chainsaw required knowing details about the wood they were working with, in only the way using a hand-saw gave.

Makes it a littttttle more complicated.

it removes their services and adds some security/privacy

that to me is what de-Googling is. I'm not trying to hurt their marketshare.

I'm using GrapheneOS - very simple to setup. Only actual downside is it only works on pixel devices currently

Anthropic previously stated Claude had memorized solutions for the non Pro version of the benchmark

yeah that was the point of introducing the Pro version

Fable as released was censored to the point of being useless for many tasks. Now surprise surprise it's not even available unless you're pre-approved.

Qwen is also censored - although since it's open weight, there are completely uncensored versions available.

The owners of Qwen can't jack up the prices to something I'm unable to pay. They can't take it away.

The owners of Qwen can't log and train on my data.

Open weight models share far more in common with free speech than free beer.

If big daddy Dario and his company are getting pushback it's not being of some motivated group trying to take them down. They brought it on themselves.

It seems to be more them losing goodwill combined with their marketing.

I don't agree with your framing that all negativity is from crazies

I'm not sure what else can be said? I've found benchmarks to be a very weak signal for how good/bad the model is, but it's the #1 thing the companies highlight.

20 minutes after the announcement there's no real useful statement that can be made about it.

interesting how much worse the sentiment around Anthropic is getting

"very aesthetically pleasing beak. good form. looks to be riding fast. please visit my website"

maxed out on coding improvements so now they're trying to expand to other markets

violating their terms of service doesn't make it fraudulent?

ah yes, compared to the current day where most humans are full of meaning at their bullshit jobs

The steam deck is way too under-powered to be "the best console". Best handheld, maybe, if you really value portability.

The huge problem in this specific case is that to use this tool well you also need the underlying skill to be developed and preserved. It's very different from a power drill.
