What is Claude doing as a product that other similar companies aren't also doing, or can't easily catch up on?

And enterprise is furiously working on cost optimization, finding that they can accomplish a lot of what they currently do with frontier models with budget offerings from frontier labs or open source models.

The corporate entity called WeWork still exists, sure. If you were a pre-bankruptcy investor or equity holder in WeWork you got wiped out. The management and capital that went into the first iteration is gone.

"How often are people paying at least $600 annually for something paid AI can help them do, that free AI can't"

Muse is free. You can chat with Gemini in Google results for free.

Much of the value of writing one goes to the writer!

What about big projects, where much of the code is not written yet?

He stayed at the Steelers too long. He should have gone somewhere with a better QB, the Steelers should have bottomed out enough to be able to draft a good QB.

What monied interest is trying to gin up enthusiasm for open source models?

It feels to me like this is a case of very rapid increase in load from AI pr's more than product quality degrading because of cruft or poor maintenance. It's annoying but I'm not confident that alternatives will do better in the long run vs GitHub (which I'm guessing will improve with time)

Feels like a cost you’ll pay when you’re trying different stuff out and want to play with different models, but as soon as companies start wanting to cost optimize the 5% middleman is an easy one to cut out.

Requires some pretty tough to get raw materials and equipment, to say the least

> How this would actually be achieved is unclear though. Dario is at least proposing a solution a solution

How it would be achieved is a pretty important bit! One which Dario is not proposing any concrete solution for other thanks hand waves at some gov safety committee.

Would this restrict downloads of an open model, or publishing?

Say we ban domestic hosting un-approved open models. How does Dario propose to ban downloads from abroad? You can’t tell what an encrypted payload contains, do we need to restrict encryption?

Conversely, “we should stop X” should come with some idea of how to feasibly do so.

In any case, I’d summarize my position as “you cannot stop open source AI, and attempts at it will inevitably empower bad actors relative to good ones.”

I tried to address safety, albeit briefly, in the sections on backdoors and propaganda. What would you have liked to see?

I didn't give it much treatment because my frame of reference is about open vs closed AI, and I don't see a lot of daylight in safety concerns between the two.
