Hence the fool's errand that is "alignment"

> It's interesting that all models seems to be unbiased out of the box so far

This is really begging the question. If something relies on the perception of a human, it has bias. The data (or lack thereof) used to train models is per se a bias.

The mistake is assuming bias-removal is some virtuous goal to be achieved. It can't, and shouldn't. Alignment, while equally impossible, is at least a goal worth aiming towards.

> Vibe coding is a software development practice assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) where the software developer describes a project or task in a prompt to a large language model (LLM) which generates source code automatically.

Based on this definition, yep, I've been vibe coding since 2023. The products were less sophisticated, and I was copying and pasting one function at a time, but it worked. More important: it was something I couldn't do on my own.

The modern version is that bonafide engineers accept AI-generated code. It's a good thing I'm not a bonafide engineer.

In the three years I've been vibe coding, it's the only way I've found to consistently and reliably build complex apps. How do you do it?

I wonder what the average battery life is on these

At least it's being used. There are many examples of tech over-adoption, like building out capacity for 1M concurrent users, only to see 50.

I'm not sure who this is for. It's a time trial style helmet, but isn't very useful for time trialing. And it's not a commuter helmet. And it's not a road riding helmet, as it has no breathability. Is this a defensive patent thing?

The glasses are a little rose-colored here. As if anything written <2022 were on stone tablets. LinkedIn slop was human generated before it was ai generated, but it was still slop.

The issue with content >2022 isn't that it's ai-generated per se, it's that it's still slop.

Boston Dynamics has been the dancing robot demo company since its inception. I guess they held out long enough to cash out on a hype cycle. Well played by them.

Are you saying that with today's hindsight, or would you be saying that at the time of its creation?

"Revenue: 13.07b; cost of revenue: 7.5b."

This includes running inference for ~1b free users.

What is untrue about this?

My takeaway from this is that it's incredibly validating as a business model. Inference is _highly_ profitable. Of course, like any company that has ever tried to grow at breakneck pace, you run at a loss until you "win."

Not a good analogy. Fable/Mythos are unsustainably expensive for Anthropic. They want/need the world to be nerfed to remain solvent. They didn't have to turn off -all- models

Sure, from the horse's mouth: https://x.com/darioamodei/status/2064781775247950326?s=46

In interviews, this week alone, Dario has gone on record repeatedly about wanting to slow AI progress.

Anthropic silently degraded AI-research queries to Fable (they changed course on this, but they still thought it was a good idea)

And now that the government is taking them at their word, they're trying to drag GPT-5.5 and OpenAI down with them

Yes, the administration is being heavy-handed, but unfortunatley it's the logical end of telling everyone you built a "nuke" and that it's possible for people to use it against us

I mean, it's literally what they've been asking for from day one.
