What also makes the monad more interesting than just composition or flattening is that when executing the ordered computation, you can decide next computations based on previous results. This was what really made it click for me.

When I worked at Microsoft, I learned that the average user will fail to do ANY process that is longer than 2 steps. Let that sink in and then reread your comment. Nobody cares about SOTA outside of tech. They want the basic floor of “it does what I need at a reasonable price” that’s it.

He’s saying put regular money in the bank vault, why complicate with crypto.

Yeah I use the Xbox edge browser sometimes, even popups break because they’re like wtf is this.

AI safety in the context of the frontier labs is completely a joke, much like privacy to the previous iteration of big tech. They talk about safety but end up just releasing the next more powerful model. They only talk about “scaling back” when the models aren’t getting better to protect their valuations.

Ive been thinking about this a a lot, like now if LLMs can just try a bunch of things, you can just try them all now. Are there some applications where we can just brute force and test at scale and no longer need to understand? Where understanding is now in essence that it “works” and passes our acceptance tests.

I don’t think appeals to morality or ethics are required for this. You paid for the LLM’s output, you should be allowed to use it how you wish. The only reason distillation is a dirty word is the AI labs trying to spread FUD to protect their non-existent moat.

It’s to the point I don’t even read Anthropic’s marketing blog anymore lol. The ai psychosis is just so real when people take these fluff blog posts which never have evidence or reproducibility and treat them like gospel

It’s crazy to me that companies/researchers share important data with these AI labs, you’re basically giving them your secret sauce which they then share with all of your competitors via training on conversations. At the same time I don’t really know alternatives other than a slightly less than frontier local LLM. Not sure how good they are at math.

I don’t think you realize how often depressed people say they will but don’t commit suicide, and also being able to know when is quite remarkable - I think this study is pretty interesting, and not as obvious as you think it is.

Laws should not be executed on the whim of the executive branch.

Except you paid for the words of the conversation..

Codex literally reads Claude.md, this isn’t even news. Companies send literally of their context to these ai models..

The models are open source, it’s never been a requirement for someone to document the entire process of creating something to be “open source”. Just sharing the source, in this case, the weights, meets the criteria. Software engineering’s obsession with precise terms is actually one of the things I’m glad is dying with ai automation.

Google and Amazon are Anthropic investors right?
