We have clean water, climate was never stable, the bee thing was never an actual problem.

Youre letting youself be exploited by doomerist clickbait.

taking away sounds insane, we had basically unlimited tokens (inference bought from aws) and they moved us back to the $100 sub to save money

Just dumb.

DHH is way past fuck you money, he does what he wants, you can hate / like it as much as you want, but claiming some grand conspiracy to get people to use more AI??? Just dumb.

>slowing down may just give the humans involved enough time to realize they should be loving one another

this is a level of hippie delusion i wasnt aware existed unironically

china is never slowing down, therefore the us shouldnt either

anthropic people have genuine delusions of grandeur, in a way they the worst of all the ai companies, definitely most cult-like

No, hes been extremely wrong multiple times, he should not be treated seriously

Its silly to say hes just early, when his predictions give specific timelines that don't work at all

- "so egregious that I am surprised it's not some kind of financial crime to say it out loud" — on OpenAI forecasting $11.6B for 2025 (https://www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-openai-financials/) actual: $13.07B. source is his own scoop (https://www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-openai-financials/)

- "artificial intelligence has three quarters to prove itself before the apocalypse comes" — Mar 2024

- "If OpenAI doesn’t either reduce their $8.5bn operating costs to $1bn or less and raise at least $5bn in the next year, they will die." — Jul 2024 2025 costs: $34B

- Generative AI “isn’t getting much more efficient” (Jul 2024 ). OpenAI’s frontier-model API price fell from $30/$60 per million input/output tokens for GPT-4 to $4/$20 for GPT-5.6 Sol, alongside major capability gains.

- “I would be shocked if [Musk’s] wealth doesn’t return to something more like he had in 2019 or 2020” (Dec 2022 ). Musk is now worth approximately $873 billion , several times his wealth when Zitron wrote this.

What is the point of writing something like this?

It's embarassing for an adult to think like this. There will always be someone willing to build that thing (and that was true even before llms)

I think anthropic is very far up their own ass and it shows up in the model output

the tip that was floating around on x was to tell it to use "ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English"

cladue desktop has an instructions sections under general options, you can put something like

"try to stick to ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, keep answers short and to the point"

funnily enough the placeholder they suggest when its empty is "keep answers short and to the point"

Maybe compute is the real moat (chinese possibly skip around it with distillation), xai is buildouts have been insanely fast (colossus 1 - 100,000 H100 GPUs brought online in 122 days lol) so maybe that explains them catching up

asked grok to give a compute estimate for each: - SpaceX / xAI: ~1.4 GW (owned Colossus clusters) - OpenAI: ~2–3 GW (mostly rented/cloud) - Anthropic: ~1.5–2.5 GW (multi-cloud + xAI lease)

chatgpt estimates a lower: - OpenAI: ~1.5M H100-eq ± ~0.8M - Anthropic: ~1.4M H100-eq ± ~0.7M - SpaceX/xAI: ~0.6M H100-eq ± ~0.3M

but it felt obligated to mention that "for single tightly interconnected NVIDIA training clusters, SpaceX/xAI has been unusually strong."

it only very recently became competetive, if they proceed with improvements (and beating others on price) their share will grow
