The irony of people asking how to do things with their language model, instead of asking the language model

Ah nah bro I didn't buy your course, I had DeepSeek analyze the concepts that are in your course, download individual videos about those concepts, and then organize all of that to make a course (it took 20 minutes)

BB tranche, junk drawer, piss dumpster. A year of doomer marketing and employees mingling with the rationalist scene and Aella’s RMN sex parties in SF didn’t turn out so good! Looks like this was gonna be a rugpull to convert their debt into cash by using retrail traders as exit liquidity in the trillions anyway. Unpatriotic, opportunist, evil.
BREAKING: Anthropic is now expected to receive a "high junk" rating from major credit rating agencies after its IPO, which could come as soon as November, per FT. Details include: 1. Blackstone has told investors that Anthropic likely will not receive an investment-grade rating immediately after its IPO 2. Blackstone is working with banks that stumped up financing on selling the debt on to other investors 3. An investment-grade rating is "central" to Anthropic's ability to continue its AI buildout 4. The company says it expects to spend over $800 billion on computing infrastructure between now and 2045 Debt markets are increasingly in the spotlight as AI funding becomes less abundant.
