You don't need to have well written specifications. Just need to point it in the right direction and to know what you are doing so you can ask it to generate a plan, review and then ask it to implement.

Magnesium, melatonin and none of the other supplements really worked for me.

I microdose with an specific drug and it did help improve my sleep. I know it's not placebo because sometimes I forget to take it and it coincides in the sleep log with worse sleep.

Anyway this drug isn't a panacea but a paliative while a treat the root cause. In my case it is a stress-related disorder and the real treatment isn't quick and easy, it requires life changes.

This is great for open-source tooling and models. And bad for AI hype which depends on exponential continuous growth.

But they have all other data as well and this concentration is dangerous.

Worse than that. You're funding models and an ecossystem that discriminates you.

This generalization is false. As a customer I've seen good implementation of LLMs in products and liked it. I don't think they weŕe revolutionary but they filled gaps in the interface. Also the models, so fair, are trained to be useful, honest and to follow user instructions. Which is a breeze from the standard pattenrs.

You may think that it would be better to talk with a human than with a chatbot but the sad reality is that the humans working at customer support behave more like a bot than the LLMs do. YMMV but in most cases I'd rather talk to an LLM.

Let everyone feed their hardest problems for a week. Get their data for free without giving much in return. Just a thought.

Anyway you guys are trying to extrapolate reason and fairness from politics and bureaucratic logic. Amazon concerns even if unfunded triggered US Gov action which demanded Anthropic to pause Fable. Anthropic didn't comply and is being made an example via export restriction.

I'm sure Amazon was malicious just no sure if their goal while eliciting the government was to harm Anthropic or provide free marketing for a company they hold 20% and that accounts to 6% of their value.

Utilitarianism can justify that kind of policy/behavior. It makes economical sense, with your free the burden of society it free resources so people be more productive, afford things, live happier lifes (at least on the material sense), have children.

Though I don't subscribe to utilitarianism or the notion that the value of an human being can be reduced to its economical aspects. It's not my moral compass.

The dangers of giving agency to a model that is highly technically competent but have no illative sense whatsoever.
