I just did. Good luck my brother/sister.

Good on you. I absolutely hate reading the output from Opus. It's disrespectful to make people read it, and to share AI output without reading and understanding it first.

Opus in particular seems to somehow combine pretentious intellectualism with sheer idiocy.

Yeah, it's funny. Both of the recent models from the big us labs require you to ask what does this mean before they'll rewrite in simpler language.

Provenance this, gated that. It almost sounds like smart stuff, but then you dig deeper and it's vacuous.

Spending all your money on extremely quickly depreciating graphics hardware and model training

And model training isn't putting money back into the business?

It’s not clear. It looks like model training may have a lot to do with uplifting their Chinese competitors whom seem so terrifying to them.

Sorry for the off topic but I absolutely love the Estonian House in NYC. Wonderful people, events, and food

The new model every week is not necessary at this point really. What if you could run opus 5 for the next couple years at 1/20 the cost?

What's interesting about this is that I as a user would find this useful, but I think the AI industry as a whole would find it an absolute goddamn disaster. Opus 5 is a very good tool, but it is not a human-replacement-level intelligence, which means the entire revenue stream the industry's built on - labor replacement - is not met by this, and the only slightly charitable read of the industry's finances is that they're gonna bootstrap their way to creating the labor replacement hypothesis by getting people to spend money on Opus/etc, whereas if the actual product is a 1/20th the cost Opus-on-a-chip, the entire business and financing model that's tying up $N Trillion dollars of investment money goes out the window.

Great for us, looks like a recession as far as the Market is concerned.
