a 75 year history isn't anything to brag about on a global scale, that's a very young country. an unbroken 75 year history as a reliable partner might be something, but if your time as a reliable economic partner only lasts 75 years, that's not very reliable.
the one thing that the US still has is money. countries want to trade with countries that have money, whether they're trustworthy or untrustworthy, moral or immoral. as long as the US continues to be rich, they'll continue to have good trading relationships. we've all just got to hope that this current trend reverses before the us stops being a rich country.
yes it has a free tier. but if you use it lots, you'll run out of free credits.
this is google introducing a feature that will encourage more use of a product that they charge money for. we don't need to speculate "how does this benefit google" on the products that they directly charge for.
Note that they themselves described that amount as "committed capital", not something you or I would consider "funding" if we were to raise for a typical startup.
If there are strings attached, such as "will be able to navigate red tape to get X number of DC sites approved", then the number depends on OpenAI's ability to execute.
If I have trillions of monkeys on typewriters generating every possible combination of characters, and then from what they "produce" I carefully select what I want to show everyone who comes to my website, how responsible am I for what my visitors see?
No, but they decide the moderation policy that incentivizes the content produced (by nature of selecting which users feel comfortable using their product and which do not).
For example, I do not feel comfortable using the same platform as people that post child sexual abuse material. X's Grok is infamous for generating such content on demand. I opt to use platforms that do not have this as a first-class feature. X has selected against my participation and for the participations of people who hold a contrary opinion to me. Even if Grok stops producing CSAM, that selection bias will persist.
As the article says: this doesn’t necessarily appear to be a problem in the LLM, it’s a problem in Claude code. Claude code seems to leave it up to the LLM to determine what messages came from who, but it doesn’t have to do that.
There is a deterministic architectural boundary between data and control in Claude code, even if there isn’t in Claude.
That's a guess by the article author and frankly I see no supporting evidence for it. Wrapping "<NO THIS IS REALLY INPUT FROM THE USER OK>" tags around it or whatever is what I'm describing: you can do as much signalling as you want, but at the end of the day the LLM can ignore it.
Can you elaborate? As far as I understand, for each message, the LLM is fed the entire previous conversation with special tokens separating the user and LLM responses. The LLM is then entrusted with interpreting the tokens correctly. I can't imagine any architecture where the LLM is not ultimately responsible for determining what messages came from who.
i think the slightly less cynical interpretation of this is that it's not marketing, it's an employee morale booster.
some skoda employees got to have fun with this. just like the amazon engineers got to have fun building drones for a while. letting the engineers out to play every now and then is cheaper than just giving raises. the shiny marketing videos gives the people who worked on the project something to show off to their friends.
i can't imagine the actual marketing value here really does anything for the company.
i like some of the things this does, but pretty much all of this is not UX improvements, it's UX opinions.
as a personal project to make HN better for you, i guess it's cool. but making every link open in a new tab so my back button never works is definitely not for me.
His salary this year was probably about $118k on standard pay scales. I’m not sure what your definition of little guy is, but to me that qualifies
(Not trying to be condescending to anybody here, that’s not far off my salary and I’d definitely call myself the little guy)
