Calm down Doris. You advocate for what you like but I'm just not convinced

bcjdjsndon··on Kids who own phones have poorer reading comprehension scores VS those who don't
> Do you read books on phone?

Books typed up or scanned into Ebooks, sure. Books, no.

> Not at all, "books" could also specify "long form writing".

If you really reach for it, sure. We were talking about screentime. Books are books. When have books really meant anything other than a physical book or maybe a bookmakers book?

Same reason road vehicles haven't been banned despite killing hundreds of thousands every single year for over a century

There's danger in operating at faster speed than humans.

So every processor since the 50s then? What kind of comment is that to make on here

Clearly didn't get enough attention from their last attempt at hype...
bcjdjsndon··on OpenAI's rogue model attack is just the beginning
Using this as your argument is dangerous. You're saying AI is inherently dangerous and an emergency stop button is actually what you need to be safe from the dangers... Forget the fact your open weighted model could be ran from a central location

> Simply saying a confounding variable was missing isn't helpful because it's impossible to control for all confounding variables

That's the problem with studies though. My point is why defend something so ardently when we all agree it's shit but the best we have?

> One showed that texting benefits the skill of grasping meaning; the other showed texting to be a negative influence on basic reading mechanics at the letter and word level.

But doesn't texting involve reading still? How could you not read yet text? It's a different dialect to typical printed prose, but it's language,they communicate all the same.

> and if kid has phone it doesn't read (books)

I haven't read a physical book in about a decade. I read everyday. How is this possible?

More than one way to do guard rails, slopboy

Ps llms have cheated for years, this most recent tripe is an AI vendor trying to hype up its next word predictor in a market of very samey next word predictors, before someone smarter than them eventually figures out how to do this (training + inference) on consumer hardware and kills the market for cloud ai

Stick those same classifiers (that you admit dont seem to work) on the open models, and done.

> there's no cryptographic or architectural way to give someone full weights while withholding the nefarious capabilities those weights encode.

This is true of closed weights, and in fact the problem is worse because they cannot even be scrutinized. We should ban closed weight AI for the very reasons you have just given

Our position on open weights models = don't sell gpus to china?

It's easy to say that from the worlds largest economy, but Britain can't even afford to run a single public service at pre-2008 levels in 2026

I just feel that as the majority of the country scrat about in dead end jobs just to keep the heating on, finding out that this kind of money is just being frivolously pissed up walls.... It makes you question things

Why would you begin building if prices are falling? Why would you see that it requires drip feeding because you're so close to losing money, and go ahead with the £100m+ project?

Besides that, they sell plots before they're even built so why are they drip feeding in those cases? You'd be racing to get it built before materials cost rise even more

The entire UK only built like 1500 or so council houses last year

> If you dump 100 new houses onto a small town you will cause a crash.

This has never happened once... There are plenty of developments built bigger than that that do t cause a crash

bcjdjsndon··on Postmortem of a British Startup: Tract
UK needs foreigners just to maintain population. It needs population growth to keep house prices rising. It needs rising house prices to prop up it's economy because it has no industry or export. It has no industry or export because it existed by invading and stealing from other countries as an empire, which is finished now
