Wow! And as soon as it demonstrates any of these capabilities - or any capability Anthropic can sell at a profit - I will revise my policy of "assuming everything an LLM-company CEO says is a lie or distortion until proven otherwise."
Juuuuust gonna wait right here. For that. Any time now.

One thing I started noticing recently is that competent engineers give up their credibility due to AI.
Twice already highly competent engineers I respect sent a PR that turned out to have very subtle issues. These issues would not be possible if a human understood it.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

please someone who is good with money help me my military industrial complex is dying…
you are free to take my word for it or
not, as you please, but Palantir’s brand of consulting is fairly well-characterized as being functionally equivalent to McKinsey, Accenture, et al.
in purely economic terms they are a tremendously obvious grift.

As someone who tends to know things (or how to access this knowledge) about systems I'm continuously involved with, I had a few people literally tell me the cool thing about AI would be not having to ask me questions anymore.
And I get what they mean but I also hear what they say.
