I have to admit I'm not clear the difference? It starts with the list of your sessions/agents . Then starting a new "agent" or question or plan. I usually use each agent for a few questions or prompts at most. Occasionally it runs longer than that.
I love using it for the chat question style where I ask it things like:
For these frontend pages with X options collect the database tables for each.
This is of course something easy to do manually, but I like it stepping through a couple functions much faster than me searching around manually and maybe getting lazy and not checking all of them.
In part, sure. From drug discovery to crop yields to education, compute and AI have material benefits. It's kind of shocking that anyone could doubt this.
This being HN, I hasten to add they also have massive downsides, we're all doomed, nobody programs the right way anymore, those poor people just think compute & AI are improving their lives, etc, etc.
AI in the sense of LLMs is too new to really make an impact yet. But it is compute driven. Modern science and engineering would be impossible as we do it now without high-end compute.
Dario quit OpenAI to hype the AI apocalypse for quick cash and attention. Then, he walked right into an obvious crisis with the Pentagon by continuing to try to play both sides of the AGI doom story that even his own AI would've pointed out. Then, after being labelled a supply chain risk, he starts a new roadshow with the newest most dangerous AI model that definitely cannot be released to the public and its safer little brother Fable. A move that gets both his premier models shut down globally once the same government that labelled them a supply chain risk learns that Fable isn't actually safe from jailbreaks. Just prior to his planned IPO.
Dario might not be a literal idiot, but he might strongly benefit from training a model to do strategic thinking for Anthropic.
All of these things have people frothing at the mouth to give up all their data to Anthropic to use their models and to buy in when the IPO eventually happens.
Seems to me Dario is actually a genius. These are all things that I would to make people believe that my “basically the same as the other guy” product is ackshually best thing ever for real. Trust me bro.
The entire bubble is hype and fear mongering. The technical merits of the products are completely irrelevant at this point. Dario is doing exactly what someone that understands this would do and they are winning.
HN thinks the safety crowd is dumb, and has never seriously engaged with the AI safety space.
HN doesn't believe superintelligence will be a thing; while the AI safety crowd believes they are building it. So the decisionmaking of the safety crowd is incomprehensible to HN.
Dont we have a thread here how the model allegedly leaks responses what is "normal" safety? (Not "agi will become skynet" safety - what is mostly a rehash of terminator 2 story)
According to their comment history, the person you're replying to believes that AGI, ASI, "superintelligence" and all of that sci-fi terminator what-have-you is not only possible, but literally inevitable. They're not worried about normal safety, they're worried about Skynet and the T-1000. American AI labs – Anthropic in particular – are apparently playing the role of Sara and/or John Connor in this story.
It's clear you haven't engaged with the subject matter beyond the typical "internet-forum cynic" mindset.
Both companies were founded on the basis of AI Safety.
- There are tons of great safety people doing real work at OpenAI. Releases are held back, models are evaluated, etc.
- Anthropic goes even further - constrained themselves with a PBC/LTBT structure, treat safety even more rigorously, and notably delayed the release of Mythos (literally the opposite of what you alleged) and continue to hold their two red lines despite threats from the gov.
You should actually talk to some of the people at these labs. Nearly everyone working at these places genuinely believe AGI/ASI is actually happening, so they do take safety seriously.
To imply these companies don't care about safety is typical internet-brand nihilism/cynicism that helps you feel smart while being literally the opposite of the truth.
There is no reason for you to make personal attacks like that. Not on HN.
Moreover, your take on Dario is over simplistic, and undersells the extent to which Anthropic takes seriously safety. It's not lip service, there are real dollars and attention spent on alignment at Anthropic.
If I track the salt, a lot of the salt I need comes already from various types of yoggurts (like ayran, or light cheeses and meat), if you actually track it and scan the barcodes of what you eat, you will find out there's already enough to add more.
I was eating spicy food and it irritated my intestines. I have enough fibers to never get constipated.
Hard agree. Cant even qualify for housing connect, medicaid, or food stamps - income tax credits (single / no kids / no property) - which are significant help to quality of life.
I'm outside of NYC, still in NY. As a single person, the 80% AGI limit is $49,000 here.
It's actually kind of painful to be barely above 100% AGI and not be able to get secure 'quality' housing up here. Everything that's being rehabilitated is focusing on low income (sub-80% AGI) limits, and everything else up here is... dire to rent. We have no real protections or anything in place up here, let alone an attempt to register rental properties that can go through without landlord revolt.
And tax credits - that was amazing when I filed my taxes through NY's direct file during the IRS pilot. I was given a "great news!" screen where it boasted that I qualified for exactly $0 for every single tax credit on offer because I couldn't own property or have a family.
But hasnt it gone down in quality with broader mainstream appeal, more ai slop, and just general self promotion? I feel like a lot of niche communities have also lost their core or original user bases that are not as active any more or it could just be me? For example off the top of my head not digging too deep, r/juststart used to be very high signal and strongly moderated but now not so much. But, on the other hand, i did discover r/laundry recently with some awesome content around “spa day” but again thats mainly one user responsible. I guess another big gripe is having to use the reddit mobile app after they closed their api’s and shutting down third party apps because now i cant browse its more feed-like. Sorry for the ramble not sure what my point is but hoping others can share their experiences and any advice too i guess
I'm not sure how you can claim that going more mainstream would decrease the quality of a site that gave us "we did it reddit!" and "the bacon narwhals at midnight".
You think this place, the people in my circles infamously refer to as the "orange site", is considered a bastion of good conversation among the people that don't frequent it?
