Open Weights models are only about a year behind. Once a model is released its open weights forever. In a few years we will look back at 2026 era hardware as incredibly puny for AI workloads. Simultaneously, edge models will continue to get more expensive and more powerful.
There are more indie games than ever before. The issue is AAA games have become billion dollar projects. They are funded and structured far more like AAA movies than other software. Making games is easy. Getting the money together to spend $500 million on development and $500 million on marketing isn't easy.
Employee pay depends on the margins of the industry. High margin industries can afford to pay high wages. Game publishers have nowhere near the margins of Google.
It's very insulting. I don't need them to talk to an AI. I talk to AI all day already. If all a person is doing is forwarding messages to AI why do we need them? Just have an AI do their job.
The current hype cycle is about measurers getting fired. But as far as I can tell there is no new product using AI to track performance going around. What exactly is AI doing to replace the measurers?
It's doubtful they have the compute to make mythos publicly available even after the SpaceX datacenter deal. And why sell it publicly if people are still willing to pay for Opus 4.7?
Anthropic needs any compute they can get. So if Elon wants to build orbital data centers Anthropic would be happy to run models on it. There isn't really any doubt Elon can build orbital data centers the question is if they are economical compared to earth based.
How is this not effectively a ban on representing yourself in court? The lawyers and judge are going to be using AI. But the layman isn't allowed to use it?
While it's true that 'figuring out what exactly needs to be programmed' was always the hard part. It's not the part that the most money was spent on. Actually programming the thing always took up the most time and money.
