@atpfm It is basically the same business structure as Bloomberg, which publishes all its reporting to the Bloomberg terminal first so that clients can trade early. Instead of having clients, Hunterbrook just does the trading in house.
@atpfm Hunterbrook has an enormous incentive to be truthful because their strategy only works if people believe them. One bad story and the market will stop reacting to their reporting.
@atpfm I think you’re quite right to put in the disclaimer, but in my opinion you are way too skeptical about Hunterbrook. It’s under a lot of scrutiny and a lot of its credibility is on the line. And yes, it’s true that the company makes money by the stock going down, but that is the premise of their model: their idea is that they can fund investigative journalism by identifying real problems and investing appropriately prior to publishing.
War! Uh! What is it good for? Accelerating the civilian adoption of dual-use technologies developed under defense contracts!

It’s astonishing to me how often the argument against AI refusal is stuff like the completely contentless “it’s here to stay.” Okay. It’s here to stay. And?

You’d think people would say something like “You won’t be able to match the productivity of developers who use it,” which is an actual argument (right or wrong).

The right model for computers has always been “use this as a tool” and I think there’s more and more evidence that’s what LLMs are actually good for. The hype sucks but I don’t think it’s going to be with us much longer; LLMs will be.

I have seen a lot of “we don’t need programmers anymore, your job is just talking to AI now” stuff which I think is insane, wrong, and, if applied, is going to result in a lot of very bad code.

At the same time, I am also seeing people who would not have gotten interested in programming before using LLMs to make things and then starting to get interested in what the toy the LLM made for them is doing. I have an increasingly hard time being full doomer as a result.

A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!
