alienbaby commented on Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?   martinalderson.com/posts/... · Posted by u/martinald

Hasn't Sam Altman already said they are profitable on inference, minus training costs?

Personally, the only way I’m going to give an LLM access to a browser is if I’m running inference locally.

I’m sure there’s exploits that could be embedded into a model that make running locally risky as well, but giving remote access to Anthropic, OpenAI, etc just seems foolish.

Anyone having success with local LLMs and browser use?

I'm not sure how running inference locally will make any difference whatsoever? or do you also mean hosting the MCP tools it has access to?
alienbaby commented on Will Smith's concert crowds are real, but AI is blurring the lines   waxy.org/2025/08/will-smi... · Posted by u/jay_kyburz

I think AI-"upscaled" videos are as jarring to look at as a newly bought TV before frame smoothing has been disabled. Who seriously thinks this looks better, even if the original is a slightly grainy recording from the 90's?

I was recently sent a link to this recording of a David Bowie & Nine Inch Nails concert, and I got a serious uneasy feeling as if I was on a psychedelic and couldn't quite trust my perception, especially at the 2:00 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yyx31HPgfs&list=RD7Yyx31HPg...

It turned out that the video was "AI-upscaled" from an original which is really blurry and sometimes has a low frame rate. These are artistic choices, and I think the original, despite being low resolution, captures the intended atmosphere much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X6KF1IkkIc&list=RD1X6KF1Ikk...

We have pretty good cameras and lenses now. We don't need AI to "improve" the quality.

I think its preferred to get this kind of smooth unreal effect for services like youtube, but not because it looks better; but rather because it compresses better for storage. Less fine detail overall helps video compression.

What I'm hearing is we need to invent LLM-based compilers.

It's just translation right? Llm's are pretty good at that..

Yes we are using regex as seems like the industry practice. I have DM'd you on X as masterfung btw to chat further.

How do you plan on maintaining your list of regex for catching prompt injections?

I've done this in my Claude settings, but it still doesn't seem that keen on following it:

Remove everything after .... 'in your response' and you will likely get better results.

The fracturing of all the models offered across providers is annoying. The number of different models and the fact a given model will have different capabilities from different providers is ridiculous.

This isn't correct. GitHub Copilot now totally competes with Claude Code. You can have it create an entire app for you in "Agent" mode if you're feeling brave. In fact, seeing as Copilot is built directly into Visual Studio when you download it, I guess they have a one-up.

Copilot isn't locked to a specific LLM, though. You can select the model from a panel, but I don't think you can plug in your own right now, and the ones you can select might not be SOTA because of that.

Sonnet 4 in copilot agent mode has been doing great work for me lately. Especially once you realise that at least 50% of the work is done before you get to copilot, as architectural and product specs and implementations plans.

existing codebases... so long as they are web applications?
