Anybody else getting spam mails from Y@yhooray?
- Nah. This was one website to which I never signed up. They can't spam an address they don't have! Have some of *that*, fuckers!Continuity

- @cont lol, you weren't missing much.
@moldy didn't check either. There was maybe 3 good users there, and then just an endless march of cunts.garbage - Got onepango

Artificial Intelligence
Anthropic calls for pause of global AI development
https://www.yahoo.com/news/scien…- https://www.engadget…Nairn
- yeah, like that will ever be adhered to. mmmhhhmmmmlvl_13
- Nerds have only been warning about exactly this for decades.monospaced
- AI development is slowing down, they're marketing it like its a responsible choice. Anthropic peaked at Opus 4.6kingsteven
- Impossible to do anything without parallel agents because its so fucking slow, all while hemorrhaging money. bubble is ready to blow. say it aint so.kingsteven
- I think the release of Claude Mythos (apparently happening soon) will tell us a lot about the pace of development.yuekit
- there are multiple reports from those who have access already. when testing against dario's claims it was found to be equal to GPT 5.5 in performancekingsteven
- Existing models found many of the same exploits but worked out 700x cheaper than Mythos :|kingsteven
- It seems like it's difficult to get an objective measure of how much they're improving. Mythos does do better on coding benchmarks but those don't necessarilyyuekit
- map onto real-world use perfectly and can be gamed by the AI companies.yuekit
- yeah, even the benchmarks which try to make comparisons are struggling with mythos. market for small capability increase at 700x the price... it could be a yearkingsteven
- after release and opus 5.5 exceeds its performance. is the way im looking at it. frontier is no longer going to be a no brainer or level out to the previouskingsteven
- models pricing... and in a year it could be 2-3 times the price across the board.kingsteven
- I think a lot of gains in capability will be made by building on top of the models or custom tuning them, like with Claude Code. So it could look like amazingyuekit
- progress is being made for awhile even if actual improvement of LLMs is not that great.yuekit
- yeah, i do believe that anthropics competitive edge and the focus of innovation which has led to notable improvements in the last yearkingsteven
- has been due to workload structuring and safeguarding, with the underlying agent mostly limited by the pace of technology, ie. increased context etc.kingsteven
- the realtime SD stuff i was doing recently was an eye opener, the same models you can achieve 6x the speed on the same hardware nowkingsteven
- all down to the surrounding technology. and on a 2 y/o card i can get 30fps due to hardware optimisations. Then I imagine Claude 4.6 running at 20x the speed...kingsteven
- but everyone uses the same hardware so anthropic knows it'll be harder to maintain a competitive edge without showcasing capable but impractical frontier agentskingsteven
- the industry 'slows down', incremental price increases to become profitable and not pop the bubble, and a narrative of safeguarding. that or they release akingsteven
- borked version of mythos, focus on the model rather than reasoning like openai o1 in reverse.kingsteven
- dur, i mixed up 'technology' and 'hardware' up there and reasoning then 'reasoning' and 'workload' and this is why 4.8 is not working for me lolkingsteven
- its like having a pedantic co-worker.kingsteven
- Apparently it's coming out tomorrow so let's see!yuekit
- getting my predictions in :)kingsteven
- Lol @ bubble********
- several AI companies that are all valued as monopolies, its clear that neither OpenAI or Anthropic think that both of them will survive.kingsteven

new album ticking ALL my boxes this evening,
double red vinyl = check!
great fold-out sleeve = check!
lovely booklet = check!
HEXAGONAL FLEXIDISC!! = checkety check!

- little overused-or too much in focus. overall though, super solid!lvl_13
- @Gardener How'd you rate the music?jagara
- thumbs up, have had it on in the front room whilst reading and the dl in the car as background to family chatter, digging itGardener
- I'd say it's about as good as Music Has a Right to and Geogaddi. It's a bit of a grower because there's so much in there.CyBrainX

Punches For:
Read this in a brief this morning: We are doomed.
___We are an early-stage digital marketing company building our complete brand identity from the ground up. We are looking for one exceptional brand designer to lead Phase 1: a full typographic identity and working design system delivered in Figma.
This is not a logo job. It is a systems job. The identity is built on Swiss typographic precision and Nordic spatial restraint — authoritative without being cold, premium without being opulent, minimal without being empty. If those words mean something specific to you, we should talk.

- @paly I swear I got shouted down ages ago for saying this shit is coming for all of us. AI is for memes, the unskilled and the artless. Period.garbage

Fuck you right in your whore mouth, Fantano :D
Thank you Pitchfork for being the voice of reason: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/al…
- I (generally) like him, otherwise :)jagara
- For once, the YouTube comments are gold.evilpeacock
- cant stand him honestly hahamantrakid
- @mantrakid I actually do have pretty mixed feelings about him, too :)jagara
- not one person IRL doesn't think fantano is an imbecile. but pitchfork is shit tookingsteven
