Disagree. I would never use OpenAI cause they're probably just going to steal whatever I'm working on.

Airline pilots and train conductors are basically meat proxies 95% of the time and they are still employed. Still necessary for when things really go wrong.

their entire founding team left recently for one. they are the weakest in mission and dont particularly pay much either
Well this makes me bullish on Gemini if its this easy to reach the frontier

I've always thought this as well.
The biggest difference I see between the way I use LLMs and Terrence Tao's is that he's not constantly swearing at it.
Fable is great. Very underrated on just personal life advice.

I think Jevons Paradox and scaling laws will make this not the case. If bigger models are always better (which seems they are), then will always need high-end hardware.
Re:Claude Tag on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @07:36PM (#48653172)
Good luck. Anthropic gets to co-train their harness with their model. Can't see people competing with that unless they own the model.

Are you allowed to do this in places like airports?
I think what makes something look like slop is rounded corner cards with slight shadow, and sans serif font.

Also full caps / overemphasis on text that doesn't need it. For example "DEMOCRAT" and "REPUBLICAN" in this example.

Re:Why Japanese companies do so many different things on Friday May 22, 2026 @05:37PM (#48242013)
a poor population will eventually become an unstable one.

In Japan's case, quite literally -- as their population distribution looks like its about to topple over.

Re:Why Japanese companies do so many different things on Friday May 22, 2026 @02:57PM (#48239923)
If a corporation does not have an incentive to make money, it will not align its priorities correctly.

For every neatly diversified company you have 10 zombie companies with workers floundering around like ants without a queen.

Re:Why Japanese companies do so many different things on Friday May 22, 2026 @02:44PM (#48239757)
Yes, objectively these characteristics of Japanese corporations seem like inefficiencies in the "free market".

Lack of mobility across companies (no price discovery on wages), lack of specialization (no focus), age based hierarchy (anti-meritocratic). None of these sound good for a well-tuned system.

I suspect much of Japan's stagnation is due to this system.

Re:Gemini Omni on Friday May 22, 2026 @02:55AM (#48232847)
This model is very misunderstood. It's not good at raw generation, but it has really deep world knowledge. Not just knowledge of physics, but just knowledge in general.

There are examples like providing a basic google maps view and then asking it to simulate driving from point A to point B, and it will generate landmarks from that location.

It's also great at consistency and editing. Probably SotA in editing.

Not sure what use cases will be unlocked but I sense something is there.

thx

Why haven't we seen more work on licensing and compensating authors?

LLM's know when they get information from certain places, they should send a portion of revenue over to those sources.

Re:I’ve joined Anthropic on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @01:24PM (#48211067)
LLM's in general have destroyed at least 10 orders of magnitude more than 3 things.
Re:The last six months in LLMs in five minutes on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @01:10AM (#48189400)
I'm curious how the 6 months have looked from a non-programmer's perspective. What kind of co-working tools and similar optimizations have people from other fields experienced?

Re:DeepSeek v4 on Friday April 24, 2026 @11:09AM (#47891329)
It's easy to praise Deepseek for its results and generosity -- how they can keep up with frontier labs on Huawei chips for a fraction of the cost! -- but let's not forget a big part of their toolkit is heavy distillation of SoTA.
