+1 to my theory that the frontier labs are soon pivoting to automated research labs, bc Fable+ models are too expensive for most usecases but highly positive ROI for autonomous research
S&P 1500 Software revenue per employee has gone parabolic.
If you are looking for evidence that AI is starting to impact the real economy, this is exhibit A.
i genuinely do not get how our usual pundits began screaming about Communism based on this. As always, I really do not think they read up on this short letter beyond the implied title.
I was surprised how little it actually said wrt the reducing the pace.

i really get the sense the average commenter+newsletter readooor thinks Dario said "no more training big/capable models". it is clearly not the same thing at all
the "Chinese AI will mog u and save us" bit is also confusing. Chinese models are definitely subject to similar things

Day 3 of "pacing the frontier". I feel no one actually read what @DarioAmodei wrote. So far, it's:
1. Embed external evaluators
2. Recommend safeguards based on specific capabilities + maybe compute (bit vague)
3. USA shld constrain+coordinate with China
it's not "no big models"

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

"API pricing equivalent" has got to be the new "ARR". If Minimax is pulling 70% margins then it would not surprise me if Anthropic and OpenAI are pulling 90% margins.
Drones seem like the most obvious testbed for the fly connectome.
Flies are already an extremely agile baseline with ~simple sensor input. Pretty task-relevant and dense.
Perhaps luckily, this is a fruit fly, not a cadaver fly ...

I taught a fly to pilot an FPV drone and drop munitions on tanks
@teortaxesTex i can kinda see an OpenAI guy being poached by Deepmind/MSL but this seems a lot less common in China at the top levels
