> Some FAANGs are doing amazing things with unlimited tokens.

Would love to know what things!

OP (solenoid0937) is an unfounded AI-hype peddler and an Anthropic shill (check their comment history), do not expect them to provide an actual example of their wild claims.
I checked their history and they seem alright ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here, just a few examples over the last 9 days, in no particular order of exaggeration magnitude:

Unsubstantiated claims of 3x-10x productivity at allegedly a FAANG: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48174666

More claims of the same, still unsubstantiated: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48173995

Even more claims of the same, still nothing of substance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48173975

Outlandish claim of using 300$ in tokens in 1 hour at allegedly a FAANG: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48158438

Ostensibly great things with unlimited tokens at allegedly a FAANG: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48269185

All of this serves to hype up the LLM technology with absolutely outlandish claims, while also propping up Anthropic online.

This is so cool, I have my own fan on HN that cherry picks my comment history to call me a shill!
You could have easily disproved my claim by linking your comments with a more balanced or nuanced opinions on the matter, except you cannot, because there is only even more outlandish and wild stuff you say about AI and LLMs.
It‘s perfectly ok to share opinions that aren’t nuanced or balanced. You seem to have something strongly against that specific user, the fact that you felt the need to go through so much of their history, post a massive list of their „suspicious“ comments, and mention in multiple places how they are a shill is pretty concerning imho and doesn’t make you look good at all. Their activity looks fine, they seem to be enthusiastic and optimistic about the technology, but that’s pretty much it.

And now you’re asking them to somehow disprove they aren’t a shill? How would that even work. You seem unnecessarily antagonistic towards that user

Every time I've tried to engage you in debate you just call me a shill so there's no point. Love ya too though!
He may not be a shill, he may just be terribly and enthusiastically wrong. Lots of HN posters are.
