Are you kidding me? I don't use these services because I can save a lot of money by driving, taking public transit, or (gasp) walking to buy groceries or food myself. 100% do not want to be taxed to pay for some lazy individuals food delivery.

> I've tried to explain to my students that it's in their interest to think about home assignments on their own, but the majority will obviously use gen AI, and it's such a waste of time to check and grade LLM output.

I think the problem is the students also take ~4-5 subjects per semester, and each of them may be just as demanding. High school is even more spread out with 6-8 subjects per semester. There's only a certain number of hours during the day for study and homework. For many, math homework ends up being the most time-intensive. Also these exams determine their GPA which in turn plays in part in determining their standing for the next few decades of their lives.

Do they publish their distillation strategies on the private frontier models? Just curious.

I would replace xAI with Moonshot AI since Kimi K3

That's hilarious that Anthropic and OpenAI can't even secure their products from Chinese resellers, how are they supposed to secure their models from being distilled?

Just look at the testimonials at the bottom of introduction page, there are at least a dozen companies such as Replit, Cursor, and Github that have early access. Perhaps the GP is an employee of one of these companies.

People like Elon suggest 120 hrs or 996 for the employees that work under him implementing his ideas-- the people rolling up their sleeves and putting hammers to nails. Most of the people in an org do not need to be involved in deep level thinking.

> Capex vs opex

That's part of the problem, but I also notice the new hiring managers are incentivized to hire (or replace) employees to make their mark on the company. They then advocate for "their guys" the ones they recruited over the incumbents that are the unwilling dinosaurs in their eyes.

Interesting I had the same problem and suffered in grades back in school simply because I couldn't memorize much without understanding. However, I seemed to be the only one because every single other student, including those with top grades, were happy to memorize and regurgitate. I wonder how they're doing now.

Bring on the Bureau of Sabotage from Frank Herbert's ConSentiency universe books!

Is there any way to move the chat window to the primary side bar? Having two side bars open takes up a lot of space. Not sure why this pattern persists in these VScode forks.

Satya's talked about how some acquired companies such as LinkedIn and Github are allowed to operate independently for the most part and keep their culture. Or else we'd all be using Teams instead of the LinkedIn messaging feature!
