This sounds like Claude apologizing for making a CRM.

What actually happened???

I did this for two weeks on a side project and still ended up in a situation where I did not have a mental model of the codebase.

There’s no way build that model without building it yourself. I’m more convinced then ever of this.

Looks like AI slop marketing, feels like a scam.

Would not surprise me if Anthropic wanted this to avoid the inference costs of running the latest frontier models.

It also is a good PR for them because it continues to doomer hype loop that’s boosting them.

Crypto investors are migrated to the newest unregulated speculative asset: the stock market.

I don’t know for certain but the amount of retail investing on vibes around AI companies and metals feels just like the crypto peaks. Just the other day Marvell jumped on the words of Jensen Huang and metal ETFs randomly lost tons of investment earlier this year.

Without a lot of the guardrails of the US regulatory apparatus that has been gutted by the current administration, the market is riff with manipulation. Truly another gilded age.

My best guess is that Gemini was trained on the textbooks that the questions are meant to test against, thus they are probably better at explicit recall of those questions or related questions.

This is a pretty limited introductory course based on what it says in the methods of the paper itself.

They all are but generally difficult.

Andes strain is more transmissible but has only been shown to have one super spreader event previously.

This read like an AI generated piece and seems to be an advertisement for their product.

Actually, yea, I do a lot of mental calculations to avoid losing my edge on thinking about numbers. I avoid gps navigators for similar reasons.

But the analogy doesn’t actually hold up anyhow because the calculator and the navigator are deterministic. I can rely on their output.

LLMs have a probabilistic output that absolutely needs verification every time. I cannot trust them the same way I can trust a calculator.

Totally! I intended to imply that hypocrisy :)

Mandates are becoming normal. Most devs don’t seem to want to but they want to keep their jobs.

When you must remind someone to “think” when using a technology because the least resistant path is to not think… it feels like the technology isn’t really helping.

They are stealing our work, turning it into a model, and then renting our decisions to less intelligent people.

They (tech companies) don’t want us to be smart any more. They are commodifying intelligence.

This is cool but I’m sorry, that’s not a vaccine - it’s a prophylactic.

A vaccine or inoculation is named because it creates a sustained adaptation to a targeted antigen. Something that boosts immune response is not an acquired adaptation! This would need to be re-upped every month or so.

Good for travel and brief encounters. Not an actual immunization.

Not too mention boosting cell growth factors can have unintended side effects like cancer! There are immune system cancers and I would be concerned about risks there.
