    Haven’t been improved in a year? By what metric are you basing that assertion?

    IP theft is probably the main one I’ll concede the point on - that damage was done long ago so they haven’t “improved” on it.

    But whether it’s reasoning or generation or building things… that’s a crazy take. Unless you consider them like a chatbot companion? I wouldn’t really know much on that front, I’ll concede.

      It’s been marginal improvements for like 18 months now. I don’t know if you remember what they promised that long ago but current frontier models just ain’t it.

      If you don’t believe me, then why? Put your argument in numbers.

      Anthropic and openAI have both spent nation-state levels of money training these models and they only seem marginally better compared to the last ones? Maybe larger context and better reasoning but they still hallucinate, they still make the same mistakes and pitfalls.

      Even with tokens getting dramatically cheaper inference on mythos or other frontier models is so expensive they need to start replacing skilled professionals and right now they just can’t. Productivity doesn’t seem to go up from AI use, if anything net productivity for an org goes down from people outsourcing human cognition onto their colleagues.

      “How about instead of me summarizing this report i use Claude and then my colleague spends the cognitive effort deciding if Claude lied or not”

      The guy using AI for everything looks super productive and the people stuck dealing with the work he’s “getting the AI to do for him” look like under performers when they’re actually load bearing in this new setup.

        Tokens aren’t going to get cheaper. Tokens must get more expensive, and soon. AI companies are making big losses even if you ignore the stratospheric debt for the immemse quantity of hardware.
