this article reads like a joke the "new study" is from group of people that are not at the frontier. they test with $3k of anthropic credits (compare to the >$10M in compute used to solve recent NS last week)

Heres a thought, if theres going to be a dangerous super LLM, if it costs 10 million bucks a month to run, then theres very little danger of anyone letting it go without a purpose. Like at some point the economics make it super unlikely that AGI is a threat outside of being a tool for a nation state.


$10m a month is nothing to these companies

Its a lot of money to host something thats trying to kill you?

Like economically speaking, 10 million per month needs to sort of justify itself in some way. Like you wouldnt run a bitcoin mine that loses money. The second theres any kind of real threat you would turn it off and keep the 10 million.

We literally just saw how OpenAI’s model got out and hacked HuggingFace


And the purpose there was research right. And the implication is that once they figured out it was causing problems it was turned off for forensic analysis.

yes yes people with bad/dangerous ideas always have a <$10M budget

Jacob Tsimerman fields medalist notably missing from the list now works at OpenAI but recently admitted to be "grieving" for mathematics

if only it ran linux

It runs Unix but somehow I bet that doesn't really change anything.

this is the kind of content I come to hackernews for


> Use enums instead of booleans for function parameters

?????????


I guess instead of

    do_stuff(..., dry_run: bool = false)
Something like:

    enum Mode { dry_run, overwrite }
    do_stuff(..., mode: Mode)


finally some good sofware


thanks I hate it


interestingly, this is a book that gemini tends to recommend reading.


some people just dont understand the concept of a leaked benchmark


You mean this?

  draw an svg of a circle


yeah exactly


gate keepers of antiquated practice decry people realizing they they dont need to get past the gate


No man is an island.
