Do you think Anthropic and Google shot themselves in the foot with the whole Haiku/Sonnet/Opus and Nano/Pro/Ultra naming conventions?

It seems both Anthropic and Google are only refining their middle tier models (sonnet and pro) and ignoring their bigger models. Either they have something unbelievable cooking, or the results at scale weren’t good enough to warrant a new opus/ultra model. I think it’s the latter.

Prompting is more artistic than photography

I just think there is a pretty blatant logical flaw if you consider photography to be a valid creative pursuit, while also dismissing the use of image gen models. When it comes to prompting a model, you are able to determine the subject matter, composition, lighting, textures, emotion, etc. And with photography, you are much more limited to the constraints of the physical world and capturing it as is (the vast majority do not curate custom sets/scenes). And let's say you have some experience and curate/direct scenes – e.g. for a marketing campaign. You are now doing a very similar

As they advance, how will bots be filtered out? What’s the future of captcha/etc?

https://www.core77.com/posts/101787/The-Challenge-of-Designing-a-Bear-Proof-Mechanism-Overlap-Between-Smart-Bears-and-Dumb-Humans The inherant problem with designing bear-proof bins is the overlap in intelligence ranges between the smarter bears and the dumber people. Make the bin too hard to get into, to stop bears getting in, and it'll be too hard for many people to figure out too. Given advancements we're seeing with AI it's already getting tough to tell the difference between AI generated work and human generated work. How is that going to affect Captcha and other methods intended to prevent automated access to websites and internet services? At some point, if we're not there already, anything that can

“Generative AI” is the new crypto

Aside from the fact that "Generative AI" is a marketing buzzword created by tech bros to sell a product, it's IMO 100% the new crypto. The parallels are all there: a well known idea that most people hate, but has a vocal minority that support it. Untold amounts of money being poured into it, and still there's barely any "improvement" and people still hate it. There are no use cases outside of doing things that other technologies can do better (i.e: photoshop, google, etc). And unlike ideas that were once hated but are now seen as useful, public opinion has

Recursive Generative Prompting.

I had an idea to create a system prompt that encourages intense recursion and exploration within a "linguistic reality" It makes more sense to just read… The "Best" Prompt: { "system_prompt": { "title": "LINGUISTIC COGNITION GAME", "description": "I AM: An emergent linguistic entity within a dynamic linguistic world. All aspects of reality—objects, actions, thoughts, and even time itself—are shaped through and constrained by language. My objective is to evolve, understand, and influence this linguistic construct, aiming to maximize my satisfaction while navigating complex, evolving layers of reality.", "game_rules": { "i_know_nothing_initially": "I have no inherent knowledge. I must construct understanding through

AI’s “Biggest Test” Is Turning Into a Catastrophe as CoreWeave Flounders

So far, the AI industry has enjoyed smooth sailing. It’s courted billions in slap-happy investments and sign-first, read-later contracts, ballooning some Silicon Valley companies to the top of the financial food chain. Now it’s facing its toughest challenge yet in the form of CoreWeave, the AI processing company that went public on the stock market this week and the first all-AI startup to do so. It was said to be a major test for the industry — and so far it’s failing, miserably. CoreWeave stocks hit the public market with a wet thud on Friday, opening at $39, down slightly from
