To be fair it does seem like most AI startups are now like this (particularly when it comes to constantly mentioning how hard they work and ignoring consumer markets).

Remember when AGI was going to replace all jobs in 6 months? It's always been like that.

Link for this?

Is it just me or does all that* seem pretty tame by today’s standards? Not saying it’s right, but it barely raises eyebrows. Sounds like a pretty typical startup demo.

* Based on the first comment in the link that claims to summarize the video.

I highly respect many people at cognition but yeah that's put a sour taste in my mouth.

I want to work in the AI space on actual AI research, at any part of the stack. Even if I'm developing training infra - as long as people are advancing knowledge of what intelligence could be.

But it seems like either it's big labs or grifters, that's it, and even the big labs, at least publicly, seem very grifty at times. Not like I have the technical chops probably, but still.

Could you expand on this?

Would love to see these companies use benchmarks done by third parties.

they are right there? it shows swe-bench multilingual and terminal bench

What happened ?

This is inevitable when the primary incentive is to raise aggressively. Overall I dont find cognition blogs that jargony, there are definitely worse offenders
