On the other hand I've gotten to use opus-4.6 and claude code and the quality is off the charts compared to 2023 when coding agents first hit the scene. And what you're saying is essentially "If they haven't created God, I'm not impressed". You don't think there's some middleground between those two?
replyAlso they just hit a $30B run-rate, I don't think they're that needy for new hype cycles.
I don't see the problem here. How would you have handled it differently? If you released this model as such without any safety concern, the vulnerabilities might be found by bad actors and used for wrong things.
replyWhat do you find surprising here?
Vulnerabilities were found, probably a few by bad actors, when GPT4 was released. Every vulnerability found now is probably found with AI assistance at the very least. Should they have never released GPT4? Should we have believed claims that GPT4 was too dangerous for mere mortals to access? I believe openAI was making similar claims about how GPT4 was a step function and going to change white collar work forever when that model was released.
replyThe point is that this whole "the model is too powerful" schtick is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. It serves the valuation.
Its far more simple to believe that they are releasing it step by step. Release to trusted third parties first, get the easy vulnerabilities fixed, work on the alignment and then release to public.
replyDo you don't believe that the vulnerabilities found by these agents are serious enough to warrant staggered release?
