Custom sets and mining their own users, as every lab does

What makes you say that

You could say the exact same thing about human businesses.

How many ancient Roman businesses are around today?

> Both OpenAI and Anthropic were founded by people who sincerely believed in the risk of out-of-control superintelligence

this means nothing

> Whether you agree or not, we have no reason to believe their statements about risks are insincere.

If you want to be taken seriously, provide data, proof, so that any outside observer can independently come to the same conclusion instead of taking your word for it. Asking people to trust you for [reasons?] and that you somehow for some reason are right and the other is wrong regardless of if they agree or not. This is the imposition of a viewpoint instead of winning your case, which is not a sensible point of view, and definitely not how you influence opinions.

Nice! Now you see what Gen Z sees in the practically poison stuff we call modern food. The obesogenic system of laws, the corporations, culture, the ads, the home delivery

No you don’t. The overall risk is baked into the strategy, but any individual plan is always a toss up, and they have insurance policies for if one or all fail

They made the cultural case, you have no idea how strong this is in places like quebec, nordics, france, russia etc

Another guy answered it ITT. Intel did that, it’s not great because fabs are expensive and risky and it’s less risky to amortize the cost across multiple customers instead of just yourself

That’s not my claim.

My point is that product velocity is visible in shipped workflow improvements, not prestige hires

Prestige is fickle, look at academia today

Anyways, what do you think the solution is to that?

Hahaha wdym? Where have you been dude?

Joking aside, there are small communities pushing codex and AI to the bleeding edge of what's possible.

Here I'll give you an example. The last few updates from Boris at CC have been tweaks to the system prompt to make it use less compute, effectively making the system dumber, making it tell you to go to bed. I mean come on! Tibo has been impressing me, bc they're building the things these small communities are building.

One of the things these bleeding edge guys and girls have been working on is a /goal feature, essentially ralph loops. Codex released it as a feature the other day. I can't help but be impressed. As an ex-pm, this is product management.

Then you take a look at what the Chinese are doing on their own forums, and it just makes what Google and Anthropic are doing look outdated. OpenAI feels competitive, which I like. What's coming will not be kind to us, we adapt or we die.

I’m noticing a real disconnect in the user base about this

The Claude maximalists that can never see any wrong in anything and the users that care about actual capability

These guys are going to be in for a rude awakening when the Chinese are steamrolling us with data centers you can see from space and better models, Amodei will tell you that himself

Whenever I see a user base turn against actual users or imply censorship or discredit actual experiences it always ends in a death spiral: Deny -> Product stops improving -> Censor -> Die

Adapt or die
