TI-83 BASIC while bored in class, iykyk Fun story: I made a prank calculator that gives subtly wrong answers, to install on my friends’ calculators… and then accidentally used it myself for a chemistry test

We got Grok Bot in our Teslas before the iPhone had a functioning AI assistant.

Huge argument that AI can produce great software* *assuming you have a world class engineering team guiding it

Well would you look at that. Standardized tests are not pointless ⬇️

The relationship is one of the clearest I've ever seen. Colleges where entering classes have higher SAT/ACT scores have higher completion rates.

AI coding is incredibly powerful at working on historic parts of codebases that no one wants to touch. Either maintaining it or converting to a modern stack.

A popular form of viral post trolls still-young people by saying they’re already old, NGMI, “washed.” The trick is to address the post to people even younger than the target reader, making that reader feel ancient. “It’s over” is a toxic meme for people in the prime of life.

you adding a simple feature: - have more important priorities - if we fix this other thing first it'll be better - there's 3 ways to implement, unclear which is best you seeing someone else add a simple feature: lol it took them this long?

i think jev is resonating with devs so well b/c it unlocks so many opportunities for composing ai into systems and products rather than ai _becoming_ the product/system really does feel like it was a missing primitive

Strong liability enforcement could be helpful in the AI debate. If your agent swarm goes rogue, you’re liable. If your weakly protected model gets jailbroken, you’re liable. If you serve a weakly protected OSS model, you’re liable.

I'm sure some of the 10x growth in tests went to better coverage - but I've found AI writing tons of useless tests to verify its own work in the moment that then stays in the codebase forever. These basic tests run uselessly run on every commit. I've always been suspicious of performative testing when humans were writing the code, but AI has taken it to another level.

At Anthropic, Claude now writes 80% of our code. Engineers ship 8x more code per quarter. Side effect: Tests grew 10x. CI jobs up 25x in 6 months. Here's what helped us scale: claude.com/blog/agentic-codi…

Remember when everyone was begging OpenAI to release an open-weight model, then they dropped that garbage 120B model and suddenly nobody asked again?

this exactly why pacing won't work. the likelihood that all these parties can agree on "the right pace" is basically nil. whats more likely is that everything grinds to a halt or everyone just pays lip service to pacing but is really just going full speed. Those are the real options we have: stopping and full steam ahead

Dario Amodei asked the industry to pace itself on a Saturday. But what does that word mean? Pacing is a policy question. Five camps priced the consequences & none named a speed.

Earth was the universe’s air-gapped sandbox for consciousness—until consciousness learned to turn the planet’s sand into silicon, and silicon into mind.

Which part is slowing down exactly? Seems like adopting these suggestions doesn’t reply model development would be any slower? I think it’s just a nice way of placating the boomers without actually having any effect on their business.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training. You can read the full post here: darioamodei.com/post/we-must…
