Remember, kids, the best argument for soldiering on with an insanely large bet on generative AI is not that it adds all that much productivity to the economy, but that it makes Trump look good as long

Especially compared by per-task pricing, which is the metric that should matter, I don't think there is anything competitive anywhere in the market. We want people to be able to use tons of AI; it is

In the past, markets would flush out bullsh!t companies by requiring them to, eventually, be profitable. What’s annoying about OpenAI and Anthropic is their evasion of that mechanism. Too big to fail,

Let’s be clear: LLMs don’t feel pain. And they don’t deserve moral standing. This new paper reports a series of experiments identifying pain-related representations in LLMs. The authors also show that

weirdly the New York Post (which did that stupid and egregious hatchet job on METR) may well be right about this one OpenAI and Anthropic oversold AI security breaches to pressure feds into protecting
