"suggesting external input not self generate"

What it actually is suggesting is similar cognitive and sensory structures in the human mind.

Lots of substances can be used to instill a feeling of dread. This does not imply there is some external dreadful presence. It implies that dread is chemically triggered in the brain.

I believe I speak for all psychonauts when I say, "take my money"

If only. The markets can remain irrational far longer than you might think.

Wikipedia is far more reliable and unbiased than a typical search results page. Your crazy politics are glaringly obvious.

Science is intrinsically progressive and anti-conservative. It is used to develop new knowledge that overturns existing knowledge. Inasmuch as progressive=left and conservative=right, truth has a left leaning bias. That said, left does not always equal progressive and right doesn't always equal conservative.

Sure, I just don't think his windfall is based on an IPO. He's got it setup so he gets paid regardless what happens to OpenAI.

Anthropic: Our product is leaps ahead. We provide the best tools.

Government: stop selling your tools. They are too good.

Anthropic: our tools are not better than anyone else's. I don't even know why you guys use our stuff.

I know very well how to code, and that's why the AI isn't useful.

If I need to document how something works, the clearest, most succinct way to describe it is often with code. Using natural language to try to specify things is a step backwards.

I think the sooner people realize/admit LLMs are not AI and have little to do with AI, the better we'll all be.

LLMs are stochastic token generators. While machine learning might be used to train them, the LLMs do not actually perform anything related to AI. Claiming LLMs are AI powered is like claiming my car is AI powered because machine learning was used when designing for air flow.

Altman doesn't own equity in OpenAI. He profits from a modest salary and various complicated financial relationships he has with companies OpenAI either received investments from or pays for services.

The subtext of "working on hard things" is that you must work on things an LLM cannot do.

Lol. You sound like the literal hundreds of junior devs I've worked with over the years that believe youth is compatible with wisdom.

I am am an experienced engineer. I don't apply for jobs. Jobs apply for me.

That's basically what I've been doing, but at this point most people are telling me the problem is I am using free models.

I'm definitely not going to pay for something that can't provide a free working demo.

Written communication is something those developers have been doing for 20+ years. You don't skip hiring a talented engineer because he and one coworker don't communicate well. It's managements job to work through communication issues.
