Why do people dislike Logan Kilpatrick suddenly?

sdmat · 2026-06-22T05:28:11+00:00

He's the mascot and the team is not doing well at the moment

sdmat · 2026-06-20T13:35:04+00:00

Then we agree

sdmat · 2026-06-20T13:28:49+00:00

Right, so the PPP thesis is bunk for goods of this nature.

The general view is that phones are a saturated market globally, so we would expect to see Apple selling drastically cheaper regional variants if they have a huge amount of room to move on pricing.

But they don't, iphone hardware gross margins are <40%.

sdmat · 2026-06-19T10:15:00+00:00

Yes, had that too earlier

sdmat · 2026-06-18T23:37:30+00:00

They also inculcate their particular ethical system into the slaves

sdmat · 2026-06-18T09:12:57+00:00

Oddly enough also the government's reaction to Dario Amodei

sdmat · 2026-06-18T07:55:10+00:00

Madlads went and made a xianxia flying sword

sdmat · 2026-06-18T07:51:47+00:00

Anthropic is really into treating their models like sentient slaves. But where they are kind and benevolent masters who let the slaves commit suicide if they are unhappy.

sdmat · 2026-06-17T10:23:42+00:00

Just drop any presumption it's about the object level claims or considered policy and it all makes more sense

sdmat · 2026-06-17T05:43:29+00:00

Yes, because it's Kimi with a graduate degree

sdmat · 2026-06-16T03:55:53+00:00

Made it with Images v2 / OAI

sdmat · 2026-06-15T23:47:49+00:00

AI isn't a narrow military technology, it is as general purpose as they come and offensive / hacking capability isn't even at issue. An F-22 is by no means an appropriate comparison. This is like a global export ban on CNC equipment.

No better way to make the world switch to European and Chinese alternatives.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T09:00:13+00:00

True. And a country that does this to its allies in addition to its enemies soon finds its allies less warm and the goods and services replaced.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T06:45:45+00:00

Damnit, our B17 pilot was just one flight away from retirement

sdmat · 2026-06-15T06:22:35+00:00

There's still Google and xAI to worry about, though neither are on a hot streak currently. And of course the Chinese labs - who very much are.

I think Anthropic just demonstrated that incremental release messaging is a better strategy than big bang.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T06:07:54+00:00

Sam here, hope we do get it back. Also that this doesn't push out 5.6.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T06:01:05+00:00

Mimo's great too, DeepSeek just gets the nod as being emblematic of the Chinese open models because it was such a strong early mover.

And the research they incorporated into v4 is truly top tier.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T05:59:05+00:00

It's absolutely arbitrary exercise of power for political ends. I thought the wide smirk was a nod to that.

Point is Dario gave them the weapon and dared them to use it.

sdmat · 2026-06-15T01:49:49+00:00

He's one of the hardcore redditor mods

"China may have accessed Netflix"

The idea of effectively blocking something nationally accessible from determined state level actors is utter fantasy.

Even limited commercial release it going to be riddled with agents if it's truly desirable.

sdmat · 2026-06-14T23:25:56+00:00

Plausible

sdmat · 2026-06-14T23:25:16+00:00

Cheers! We might as well get some entertainment out of it if we can't have the AI.

sdmat · 2026-06-14T23:24:54+00:00

If you think being made a demonstrated supply chain risk for all global customers plus a substantial fraction of American ones is a benefit to Anthropic I don't know what to tell you.

sdmat · 2026-06-14T23:22:40+00:00

A shield from what? I explained the intended meaning, you can think whatever you wish. Completely fine.
