“Fifth, the board determines when we've attained AGI. Again, by AGI we mean a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work. Such a system is excluded from IP licenses and other commercial terms with Microsoft, which only apply to pre-AGI technology.”
LLM frontends for search engines have been commoditized for a while now, this doesn't seem to add anything new (at least technologically)
(which makes it a bill of attainder, and thus unconstitutional)
However, this is not really OpenAI's fault: the English writing system is much more simple compared to those of Chinese or Hindi, and even languages like French, Spanish and German, that are written in the same Latin script as English, make much more use of diacritics compared to English. So it is natural for the tokenizer to be much more efficient for English compared to languages with more complex writing systems.
(Prepaid is also superior from a cash flow perspective too.)
All the conclusions here are based on the government's official USD/peso exchange rate, which until a recent devaluation, had been completely out-of-sync with the black market exchange rate.
From this AP article published in December: https://apnews.com/article/argentina-inflation-milei-currenc...
"The previous government sought to deny reality by strictly limiting Argentinians’ ability to exchange pesos into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. As a result, the official exchange rate made the peso look stronger than it actually was — around 400 pesos for every U.S. $1 before the devaluation that Milei’s government announced Tuesday. But no one was fooled. The black market has lately pegged the peso at around 1,000 per $1."
"At the heart of Milei’s audacious economic agenda is his plan to devalue the peso from 400 to 800 per $1 U.S. dollar and then by an additional 2% each month. Part of the goal is to make Argentina’s exports less expensive — and thus more competitive — overseas and reduce the country’s gaping trade deficit."
"Some economists worry that Milei’s devaluation doesn’t actually go far enough. His plan would narrow — but not close – the gap between the official exchange rate and the 1,000-peso-to-$1 rate in the black market."
If Signal releases a malicious update (and they don't provide reproducible builds), it is very much possible for you to know about it, as everything is on your device. Even if the binaries are different from the source code, decompilers, analyzing network traffic, etc. gives the community a good chance at catching malicious updates. Mastodon admins can simply pull up your plaintext DMs on their servers and no one will ever know.
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.
Whatever it is, the model sticks to topic, but still is completely off: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1avyp21/this_felt_... (If the author were human, this style of writing would be attributed to sleep deprivation, drug use, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning.)
IIRC this spam attack cost the attacker only $5000 but rendered the network pretty much useless for hours
"We also discuss the limitations of statistical significance as an effective method of measuring model risk"
Seriously?

Aditya Verma was 18 when he and his friends traveled with easyJet from London Gatwick Airport to the Spanish island of Menorca in July 2022.
The BBC reported that before departing, he told a friend on Snapchat: "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)."
Security services saw the message and flagged it to Spanish authorities, who sent two F-18 jets to follow the airliner until it landed, per the BBC."
If the reporting is accurate (a big if, to be fair), this doesn't seem possible unless either the friend reported his message or Snapchat was scanning private messages.
