Really? Maybe my brain is broken but I saw lots of forced analogies and LLM habits. Like where it does an em dash and a short list:
"I was getting steak ads everywhere—Instagram, news sites, even in places where ads should not be allowed to have that much audacity."
...
"everything simply—salt and pepper, no fancy rubs, no sauce safety net."
...
"with twine—very farmer’s market cosplay, very “trust me, I’m artisanal.”"
Before everyone piles on this comment with "whoosh" and "it was sarcasm" and such — have you noticed that reacting to ironic, sarcastic comments as if they were meant literally is what real LVL 80 trolls do oftener and oftener? On internet, you can never know who is pulling leg...
ebay started attempting consignment more than ten years ago, but I think lately they only do it for luxury items. Which makes sense to me as a lot of people would just send in junk. https://pages.ebay.com/ebay-consignment/
Scrambling? Seems to me xAI built too much capacity (for what they can use in 2026). Does that mean OpenAI built the right amount? I don't see how this proves that just because we see one AI company willing to sell compute. We don't even know the terms/pricing.
> Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said his company tried to plan for 10-fold growth. But revenue and usage increased 80-fold in the first quarter on an annualized basis, which he says explains why it’s been so hard to keep up with demand.
> “That is the reason we have had difficulties with compute,” Amodei said Wednesday at his company’s developer conference in San Francisco. Amodei added that the company is “working as quickly as possible to provide more” capacity and will “pass that compute on to you as soon as we can.
I think "scrambling" is a fair characterization of the CEO saying "we have had difficulties with compute" and "working as quickly as possible to provide more"
They've also signed new compute deals with Google and AWS recently.
Moves like this make me wonder- What chance is there that these models are nationalized in the near future? What will happen to the investors/economy in such a scenario?
Nationalization often happens when growth ends. The Pennsylvania Railroad was private as long as the profits were rolling in. But once growth ended (because of cars and planes and buses and ....) the company went bankrupt. Then we ended up with Amtrak because the country needs a train system.
once it gets nationalized, it will be plagued from red tape. The model will likely look like how china is controlling their AI. It's not nationalized, but they have a complete tight leash on it
So nationalized models === more openly available and downloadable models? Seems the argument you're trying to make says "less leash" rather than a stricter one.
What specifically is the goal of the pre-release review? Just to patch government systems first? Seems like the government was banning internal use of anthropic's models 2 months ago and now wants exclusive access for some amount of time. Clown show...
At this point the study is already mostly irrelevant because the model in question has long been far surpassed by new models. It seems traditional publishing doesn't work for really fast moving fields.
