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?

Gemini's existence disproves 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.

This is marketing.

1. Release fable, highly nerfed and limited 2. See the compute capacity limiter pegged day after day 3. Lobby to the government, claiming ai is super unsafe and not aligned and they must do something 4. Government "forces" anth to turn off 5. Anth takes the pressure off of compute capacity, and gets to blame it on the govt

Like you're telling me fable is somehow an order of magnitude better than GPT 5.5 to the point where it compromises national security, despite evals and anecdotes saying otherwise? Nah.
