"It doesn’t even exist until you ask it to do something", not my words
how are humans autonomous by this definition then? did you ever do anything before you were born?
do you think typing `make` into a terminal is some sort of an insane intellectual achievement?
why can't they just increase the price for cached input instead?
could it be that the leading AI lab is decent at making LLMs?
what's there to hack that you couldn't do with $3 in openrouter credits?
> productivity findings
are you referring to the early 2025 METR study?
> you can run a small model
but why?
I think you mean mostly-stateless-but-with-prompt-caching-and-batching, ie not really
you think they're doing inference at a loss even with the API prices?
yes; fyi usage limits on the $200 claude sub correspond to at least $1.2k/week in api tokens
"benchmaxxing by generalizing" is not really benchmaxxing
> possibility of "LLMs can reason not like a human"
what would be the difference between not reasoning and reasoning not like a human?
I keep asking the same question, and I think the steelman version would be "has metacognitive patterns similar to humans"
I'm somewhat serious -- if you think AI will scale that well, you can't really make predictions like that
I personally don't think the weight efficiency will improve that much; if anything big does happen, I expect it to be about scalable architectures and continual learning
just found a decent looking benchmark for iterative development:
https://swe-milestone.com/surprised it isn't a bigger thing, eg artificial analysis doesn't report anything like that
still doesn't measure the human-agent interaction part, but that's pure vibes atp

I think any security-related task triggers it to think about the threat model and thus hit the guardrails
what languages are you working with? I imagine if it's something like C, you'd hit guardrails every time you manage memory
is there a way to use it with lazygit? unfortunately I'm addicted atp, and "autorebase branches" is exactly what I was missing the entire time
why would you need a local fable at that point? AGI will surely solve all the problems in the world at that point
what are you working on? I only hit the guardrails twice after burning through two weeks of 20x max plan, both times on ML stuff; still more than I'd want to, but not unusable
ml research, both brainstorming and running experiments
eg I'd throw a hypothesis at it in the evening, and overnight it would write the code, do a sanity check, start a run, monitor the metrics, identify and fix a bug, propose a new hypothesis based on the results, write the code and start the second experiment, etc
still not that good at generating ideas or drawing conclusions, but much better at criticism than opus
even the api price is not that expensive for this
security researchers are using the free tokens that they get to do useful security work, AI labs are giving away free tokens to maximize their profits; is it really that hard to imagine that different parties might have different goals?
> We shouldn't look at this and think
you're gonna tell me what to think now?
> it's not actually a financially efficient way ... unless you profit from creating demand for LLMs
well, they do? it's a win-win, you can't really criticise an AI lab for doing AI instead of straight up giving money to security researchers
> If you factor in all the money spent on training
why would I? it's not a cybersec-specific model
I imagine one could one-shot a basic app and then feed feature requests one by one, sounds like an obvious way to benchmark architecture/maintainability

I have a feeling those two sets of communities are disjoint
if you don't make your own tech, standards will be defined by people that do
