Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative. It gets the people going

something that solves a real problem for businesses, that you are uniquely positioned to execute on well. If you target the lowest common denominator, or consumers, or build something really quickly - good luck

New Siri is not available in the EU. And no plans to change that.

I'll probably switch to Android once my phone and watch batteries degrade enough to annoy me

Replicad is another frontend to the same cad kernel. But can run in browser or via bun or whichever js runtime you want. I've found llms to be better at writing typescript than python code for things like this.

Using Replicad, I've successfully iterated on a 3d printed enclosure for my electronics project. It's fantastic to get everything parameter based and version controlled from revision 1.

> What does that get you?

Cheaper model training runs? Ability to scale training to larger model sizes without extending training time?

"The scenario has been explored in fiction" doesn’t mean "everything in fiction will happen." Your reply conflates familiarity with inevitability.

Science fiction is relevant here because it has explored the problem of humans losing control of what they create. Whether that could happen with AI needs to be assessed on its merits. Pointing to other fictional things that haven’t happened neither answers that question nor rebuts the original point.

AI companies use heuristics to filter sessions, then llms to further filter, then use various techniques too anonymize the session, then process it and add it to various datasets for further selection and refinement. they don't need huge storage for this.

It's only theft when people pay Anthropic for inference in order to improve their own datasets. It's not theft when Anthropic grabbed basically all ebooks and web content on the internet to build their own dataset, without paying anything to anyone

I will not take CSS advice from a website that looks like such utter crap on mobile

Imagine a person who does not want social media companies to shape their reality, yet does not want their perception of reality to be compromised by hallucinations. Or perhaps you would be fine with being snuck LSD on your way to work, or court, or picking up your kids from kindergarten? Most people do not seek out hallucinations

the easier way to do this, with any harness, is to use an expensive main agent that is told to delegate all code reading, writing, exploration, research etc to weaker subagents to conserve tokens. It's an inversion of the pattern but the resulting split is the same

The large majority of people want absolutely nothing to do with hallucinations
