Sure but the robots that extend our capabilities often start by replicating our current capabilities, even if those are as simple as folding clothes. It provides a baseline for the next generation of robots that can do more.
Is there evidence of any state-sponsored bots at all? It seems like this has become an accepted fact but I don’t see any data indicating it’s actually real.
Off topic, but how do you operate without email? Is it not essential for many government services and utilities where you are?
(Here, it is technically optional for utilities but is an additional $10/month to have your electricity bill posted to you instead of emailed. The tax office requires email as does my bank though - I just checked.)
Batch can take up to 24 hours (and often does) and may never complete if it gets cancelled so it’d be hard to build a user workflow around unless you kick off planning on Friday and come back Monday
> Preliminary trials with Claude Mythos Preview showed that it would not provide an apples-to-apples comparison with other models because of how we had set up the experiment and how the model was served.
What does this mean? My guess is they couldn’t co-locate Mythos close enough to reduce latency?
(I’m assuming this experiment pre-dates the export controls)
The Chinese labs would only go dark if they believe they’ve surpassed the American labs, otherwise what benefit is there to them to refrain from sharing the models? Better to have all of their allies able to use the same models by making them public
Beyond the other comments denouncing it as AI slop, it’s fundamentally wrong. GMV aka marketplace thru-revenue is strictly defined by accounting standards and most tax offices (including the IRS and ATO). It’s not something you just decide to have. One of the core principles of it is that the consumer is aware that the revenue will flow through (eg, if buying something on Etsy/Amazon, that is obvious while others like Uber are more contentious). Using a different model provider is unlikely to pass the test.
This would’ve been a fascinating article if written by an accounting expert but is unfortunately just slop.
