Marcus Hutchins, the guy famous for stopping the WannaCry Ransomware, probably has the best take on Mythos doing vulnerability research

The US social mood is turning dramatically negative on AI

Its incredible how these AI narratives tend to fall apart when the interviewer isn't a drooling sycophant.

It would be hilarious if we go through this whole AI thing just to find out that it’s ultimately cheaper to pay humans to do it

lol, lmao even

Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years. "Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."

$55 billion dollars later and we’re back at square one. Except Iran is $20+ billion dollars richer, our economy is cooked, weapons stockpile is depleted, most bases in the middle east are gone, and our allies hate us. Oh and a lot of innocent dead people. Masterful gambit, sir!

Years from now, we will look back and we will hardly believe the stupidity of building a large-scale extractivist project based on the assumption that language toys could be conscious.

À ce niveau là ça doit être son kink de fantasmer sur la fin des jobs, c’est super malsain il le répète à chaque interview sayer on a compris

basically

this is the most satisfying plot twist in tech history

I actually fucking hate you people. You're not going to make a business out of having friends. All of these will fail and we all are rooting for your downfall. Burn SF to the ground

CFOs realizing that their AI token budget is going to be higher than the salaries of the people they laid off

I think Dario Amodei is right when he says: "Coding is going away first, then all of software engineering." At least in his world at Anthropic. They tell us they don't write code any more. Their status page shows us they don't do software engineering.

We were being subsidised this much? Wow. Cursor claiming the $200 plan is actually $5000 was actually true it seems.

This is really bad. Amazon spent $52bn (normalized for inflation) in capex between 2002 and 2017 to create one of the single-most profitable businesses in the world. Now it's spending $300bn+ with 75%+ of that revenue coming from Anthropic, who it's fed $13bn+ to keep alive.

Compiler construction is one of the oldest, best understood CS fields. It's decades of work by the brightest minds, and it's grounded in logic, informed by experience and strictly deterministic. Comparing that with LLM-based coding agents is just wrong. x.com/IceSolst/statu…

is this what dario sees when he keeps saying SWE will be automated
