@steipete Except it was said about your boss first my man

@chris_j_paxton To be honest I don't have much sympathy.

We saw literally hundreds of thousands of lazy wagon-filler apps that just put a system prompt and a webserver between you and some inference provider.

You just added latency, thank you for that.

@steipete Darios is a dweeb

@chris_j_paxton only true if the model is not commoditized but deployments of the model are

if there’s several model cos and a few dozen deployments are large fraction of spend, power balance is different

and tbh i anthropic overplayed their hand here and they’re going to realize soon

@steipete has the same energy as "aggressively non-confrontational"?

americans really talk like HR wrote their dialect

@steipete What’s going on? Aren’t you working for Sam Altman ?

@steipete

@steipete Paywalled, spill the tea

@steipete Their high handed approach is a litigation and SEC investigation time bomb after they go public.

At least you need open weights models for with custom harness hosted on private cloud holding data at some scale. :-) i guess that is what Microsoft announced as their strategy at build, to help companies use ai privately to build vertical frontier capabilities, using @satyanadella words.

@steipete Alternative facts

@steipete Imagine if you were a medical centre and you were reliant on anthropic as your chat bot and all of a sudden you got a "chat is paused" when talking about anything medical... you know, in the name of safety..

@steipete do you really mean that?

@steipete Corporate euphemisms are the new bloodsport in AI

@steipete For partners, fuzzy dates hurt more than missing features.

@steipete beats "misspoke" lol

@steipete
