Anthropic founder described it as: if each model were a company, they be hugely profitable. It looks bad since when the model you trained in 2024 is generating net positive revenue, you’re also training a more expensive model for 2025 that won’t generate revenue until then. So currently, they’re always burning more cash than they’re bringing in, under the expectation that every model will increase revenue even more. Who knows how long that lasts, but it’s working so far.

Paraphrase is from the podcast he was in with the stripe founder, cheeky pints I think


Which is not a good comparison because the LLMs are products not companies. If they are companies, they are competing against each other for revenue.

If I switch from Gemini Pro to Opus, that is good for Anthropic. If I switch from Opus 4 to 4.1, that’s not as good for Anthropic.

Sad that these CEOs can get away with this level of sophistry.


They mention they’re working on a mobile UI.. but man using the current UI on mobile is horrible.

Can we coat cement with afterglow phosphors and then put a clear coat on top? Paint my car with these, my bike?

2 lbs for $120 seems very reasonable https://m.made-in-china.com/amp/product/CNMI-Light-Up-The-Da...

Even found a picture of a bike! https://m.made-in-china.com/product/Fluorescent-Phosphor-Glo...

It is a thing already, of course https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=3ab4769019a97b6f&rlz=1...


You can buy glow in the dark spray paint.

Avatar or persona is a literal fake person. “This Steve Doe. He works in construction and is 29 years old. He is in a lower income bracket and drinks a monster every weekday with lunch”.

The example in the post is a super generic target market.”gen z, lower income”


If you can afford one, you can surely afford a second one to put your car/bike/gear/stuff in

Agreed. Video game idea that’s been in my head for years, but not sure if it’s actually fun? Too lazy to sit down for a few days and make it. Went back and forth with an llm for 30 mins and I had more of a game than was even in my head.

Tried and true method! An old video game forum named moparscape used to ask what mopar was and I always had to google it

Good thing modern bots can't do a web search!

They will be as likely if not more so to fall victim to the large amount of misinformation... and AI-generated crap you'll find from doing so.

I wonder if this would be good for vibe coding / natural language for enemy AI. IE, place an enemy down and tell it: “every 3 seconds fire an arrow at the player. If the player is within 7 tiles of you, stop firing arrows, path to the player, and attack it with a sword. When your health reaches 10% run away from the player”


This misses many details, like if health is 10% but there is nowhere to go this will produce bad result where mob is just hanging around and not fighting, or if there is no line of sight then it should not fire arrows, or if it's impossible to path it should keep firing (IF there is line of sight). In a real game when you write every condition for every possible scenario I know what I would choose between a wall of text (anything in which can be misunderstood by llm) vs clear state machine


This is the goal! We're working hard to give the AI more spatial "world" awareness with bespoke decision loops


Can I use Archon? There is a use case I’ve wanted to explore and this tool can do most of it


No, since software if built around existing limitations. IE stripe invoices will generate a single use account number per invoice, so you can give that to someone who needs to pay. Aligns payment with invoice since they’re 1:1 and you can pull out funds since it’s always empty
