I felt like my third eye has been opened after reading that. Truly inspiring.


For a second there I thought it was a think piece by Shinzo Abe.


... Shinzo Abe who was assassinated in 2022???


I think he means Kobo Abe?


The problem is not you, nor anyone tech savvy enough to comment on hacker news, but the masses who can barely paw their way through their smartphone screen. It will be abused and cause problems, and Apple knows that.


As an engineer, I need AIs to tell me when something is wrong or outright stupid. I'm not seeking validation, I want solutions that work. 4o was unusable because of this, very glad to see OpenAI walk back on it and recognise their mistake.

Hopefully they learned from this and won't repeat the same errors, especially considering the devastating effects of unleashing THE yes-man on people who do not have the mental capacity to understand that the AI is programmed to always agree with whatever they're saying, regardless of how insane it is. Oh, you plan to kill your girlfriend because the voices tell you she's cheating on you? What a genius idea! You're absolutely right! Here's how to ....

It's a recipe for disaster. Please don't do that again.


Another way to say this is truth matters and should have primacy over e.g. agreeability.

Anthropic used to talk about constitutional AI. Wonder if that work is relevant here.


Alas, we live in a post-truth world. Many are pissed at how the models are "left leaning" for daring to claim climate change is real, or that vaccines don't cause autism.


ChatGPT tone 2-3 years ago was much more aligned with the "truth exists" world. I'd like to get it back please.


I hear you. When a pattern of agreement is all to often observed on the output level, you’re either seeing yourself on some level of ingenuity or hopefully if aware enough, you sense it and tell the AI to ease up. I love adding in "don’t tell me what I want to hear" every now and then. Oh, it gets honest.


It's a recipe for disaster.

Frankly, I think it's genuinely dangerous.


And a couple of hours later, major blackout in Spain.


And Protigal, as well as Peurto rico. I wonder how Canada would react by being treated like that... But the anywhere with oil... Which puts Greenland as a false flag....


Yeah who knows whats the real cause. Maybe some fire, maybe a cyberattack or could even be someone messed up greatly in their pc because government security is disastrous so who knows


The defending theory for that is that it doesn't allow for loopholes by trading through tax exempt countries.

It's certainly an interesting strategy. Let's see how it plays out.


Except those islands are Australian territories. And they've given Australia higher tariffs, so in theory they could reduce these tariffs (which will be paid at least in part by US citizens) by exporting through there?

There's nothing strategic about a 4 column excel spreadsheet and one formula.


By all accounts, it doesn't make sense. Hence why it's ... well, interesting, to say the least.


You should just assume that every single thing that you type into an electronic device made after the 90s gets piped into a LLM anyway


Can confirm, OVH is garbage. Lost my data multiple times. Luckily it was just random dev servers but I would NEVER EVER use them in production.

Stay away.


Unfortunately certain European companies don't do business with companies that use non-European cloud services, which doesn't leave you with much choice if you're looking for an alternative to AWS.


They need to open source Sonnet 3.7.

I know they won't, but a man can dream.


I'd wish people stop using "open sourcing" when speaking about models.

Open sourcing is about being able to change and replicate builds, they make the models "freely available" but the recipe on how they are made is kept secret.

It's akin to being able to download Windows shareware executables and calling that "open source" when nothing related to how the executables are build is available.


Even if they did release the code, that would not help you much unless you have the $ for traning and the talented individuals for pipelining and distributed training.


Well, yeah. They need to do that, too!


would you be able to run Sonnet 3.7 on a consumer computer though?


You can't with DeepSeek either but it has aided open source models significantly by being open source.


The new M3 Ultra Mac Studio (512GB version) seems to be capable of running DeepSeek R1 in Q4


Living is cheap if you don't live.

Not to detract from the achievement, that's amazing. Mostly useless, but amazing nonetheless.
