Dear Friends, I'm very sorry to say that it appears that Kimi K3 is a fantastic model, beating or equal to Sol and Fable in many areas, just behind it on others, and blowing past Opus 4.8.
Unfortunately, that now means we get to live through yet another round of grandstanding, posturing, and talking-headery these next few weeks.
Maybe a few pompous and self important essays will drop?
Or how about some new poll by a doom group?
Maybe some new sci-fi masquerading as serious public debate about how AI plays out in the next 5 years?
Or how about a raging 80 year old Senator pumping his gnarled fist in the air.
Get ready to talk about every crazy issue these next few weeks such as (but not limited to):
- Won't someone please protect the incumbents?
- China
- China ahead or behind
- China steals
- Chip controls
- Data center water, while someone golfs and chows a burger
- What do we need? Regulatory capture! When do we want it? Now! Now! Now!
- Distillation "attacks."
- China hawkery
- FINRA/Food pyramid for models
- "Alignment"
- Manchurian candidate models
- Recursive self improvement
- Open source bans/limits
- Grey goo
- Fucking Yud and whoever the hell they other guy on his dime store book is
- And won't someone please, please think of the children?
And more!
