"my model is the most dangerous"

"No mine is the most dangerous"

"Nuh uh mine is"

"Mine could kill everyone!"

"Mine could do it faster!"

"Prove it!!!"

This is where we are

Yeah I guess two companies who would otherwise be considered going for bankruptcy have models too expensive to run. As they don't see themselves making money any time soon, they have to turn every future model into a weird fascination.

Would AGI start by hacking competing labs to hamper their progress?

It's like that phone call in The Big Short where Goldman suddenly change their mind once they hold a position.

These models demonstrably have good vulnerability research capabilities.

I'm sure their marketing department is ecstatic but you guys are far more hype-based than what you're calling out.

> demonstrably

I'm not entirely up to date on each week's LLM hype train/scandal but last I heard there was no public access to it or public-trusted 3rd parties that can review model's capabilities

2ndorderthought•22m ago

You are up to date. Mythos had unauthorized access because of poor security but that's it as far as I know. Not exactly a good sign for something being advertised as a weapon...

I have no idea why people still even attempt to believe anything that comes out of Altman's mouth. Do we not learn from the past?

apples_oranges•1h ago

Idk about Altman, I missed that he’s a bad guy now apparently, but people also still listen to certain politicians that routinely lie every day and don’t even bother to make the lies fit the other ones they said before, so..

xandrius•1h ago

You missed literally every single post/article about the guy?

Altman played no small part in the current price of RAM. He told everyone he would buy 40% of all the RAM, causing shortages and a huge increase in price, just to take it back a few months later. So yeah, he is a bad guy now.

People don't become bad guys just because they lie. The consequences of their actions (and their lies) matter more. Take Elon Musk for instance, he has always been a recognized liar, even when he was a good guy. What changed? Before, he was famous for making the electric car people actually wanted to drive, and cool rockets. Then came the politics: supporting the party most of his fans disliked, being responsible for many government job losses, in particular in the field of environmental preservation (ironic for a supporter of "green" energy), etc...

Has there been a single positive post about Altman?

With subsidy gone, token price goes sky high. The biggest shit show is about to happen.

Then we switch to open LLMs which are not backed by greedy VCs and headed by evil white dudes.

That’s great but who will pay for all the data center debt?

robohoe•49m ago

The taxpayers and paying customers that’s who!

cmiles8•48m ago

The debt goes bad and those that issued the debt absorb losses. Many that went in deep lose their shirts.

Thats how this stuff works, although there’s a whole generation that’s not seen the back side of a bubble and seems to think there’s no such thing as a downside.

2007 called they want their free-market philosophy back.

2ndorderthought•42m ago

Let them fail before it gets even worse is my take. The future is small but capable local models.

pluc•1h ago

My thinking is that if there would be more money in releasing Mythos and Cyber than there is in just scary unverifiable (or verified using very favorable context - Mythos) propaganda, they would. These aren't people that go for second best or care about the state of the world.

xandrius•59m ago

Make it sound "scary good", tell everyone and their mom, charge gullible companies $$$$$ for its premium access and then move on.

lossolo•44m ago

And government contracts.

cmiles8•54m ago

It’s a marketing move, pure and simple.

Put up velvet ropes outside… leak out rumors about the horrors inside. Whether it’s LLMs or carnies with tents full of “freaks” it’s the same playbook.

Watching OpenAI tumble from the clear market leader into “hey guys us too!” territory has been insightful.

It’s clear at this point local models are sufficient so what gives? These big providers don’t have a leg to stand on. Their only path to relevance is super ai that local models can’t run. So the “we have it but you can’t use it” is either true or a con. I bet it’s a con.

I personally am ready to buy the drop when this bubble pops.

bryancoxwell•9m ago

I’m not up to date on local models, but is that clear?

mnmnmn•30m ago

OpenAI is such trash. Worked with them on a project, they blew off meetings, lied to us, etc

Is this a model that will finally work without creating errors?
