It's quite likely that OpenAI is running a significant PR campaign to compensate for the bad rep they earned by stepping in to meet the demands of the Trump administration, after Anthropic refused to assist the administration with mass domestic surveillance and development of lethal autonomous weapons. Presumably OpenAI didn't buy the podcast TBPN just because they like the guys.

I think there's definitely more scope for ruling out vulnerabilities by implementing simpler designs and architectures.

They have no values of their own, so you have to direct their attention that way.

I don't think "usage" is exactly the metric they're going for, more like "usage in line with our developmental strategy." Transcripts of people using Claude to write code are probably far more valuable to them than transcripts of OpenClaw trying to set up a calendar invite.

I mean, they don’t train on your data unless you have the setting enabled. Do you really think they are reading your prompts at all? Free inference providers sure, but Anthropic?

I just use Ctrl-g to open the prompt in emacs.

You can just use Ctrl + J

I have a transformer attention mechanism which seems to be more data-efficient than the usual dot product, and I'm trying to write a performant backwards kernel for it.

No, AI has real, immediate, large-scale industrial and scientific applications. Cryptocurrency is a massive disappointment, but AI has genuine potential value.

> genuine potential value

That's some beautiful mental and verbal gymnastics.

That's some cynical ignorance.

Yes, it was good. It seems clear that Farrow and his co-author approached it in a methodical, fair-minded way.

I don't condone violence, but the contract he's signed with the US military is a credible threat to everyone in the US. OpenAI will now certainly be called on to assist in domestic mass surveillance, under threat of the kind of severe penalties Anthropic has faced. So why did he agree to that contract, unless he's will to provide that assistance? So it's gone well beyond conversation, though not to a point where violence is appropriate. Boycotts and hostility are definitely appropriate at this point IMO, though.
