Define "Liberal".
I know conservatives love some kinds of control, and centrist/leftist parties love other kinds of control. Swinging from one to the other gets you both, not neither.

Considering kids already use word substitution and other techniques to avoid plagiarism detectors, is creating a new kind of plagiarism detector weak to word substitution a valid path forward?
Actually, if anything it's just going to compound the false positive rate, making things worse for people who arent cheating.
Yeah I have been trying to "was" him as much as possible.
>Your references post date their work
Yep but theres no conspiracy to hide these facts that only the brave Graeber can explain through the medium of book sales.
>Jomon Japan
Yeah I am faintly remembering something about their giant burial cairns or something.
A horror about the unchecked madness of human technological development, and a movie about dinosaurs.
Like we known hunter gatherers had social hierarchy, settlements and crafts.

“These aren’t people that were struggling to survive. They were people confident in their understanding of this landscape, and of the behaviours and habitats of different animal species that lived there,” added Gray.

"Their social organization was complex and can even be compared with that of the Levantine Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) farming society."
It seems like Graeber was fighting a strawman?
This is I guess one of the bigger problems with Graeber, like when he was attacking Silicon Valley he demonstrated he had absolutely no idea what he was arguing against.
Likewise, armchair reading of human social development has never appeared to be linear to me. Palace Economy > Crash > Temple Economy > Crash seems pretty damn standard. I was watching an old documentary on the socioeconomic development of Egypt and it looks like they discovered and rediscovered several important social and economic reforms, that were then lost and rediscovered by themselves and other societies over and over again.
The question is, was Graeber an idiot and just didn't know what he was talking about or was Graeber just another grifter like Hancock who relies on misrepresenting other peoples arguments for financial gain.
Has it been shown, or has the cult simply updated their tenets to preclude AI containment?
I swear any idiot with the tiniest bit of security or networking experience could box up an LLM. Failing to do it properly is a choice.
One going up near me is being built on the site of an old coal fired power plant. Lots of juice and an old dam for water. Theres not exactly 2000 cores of fiber out that way, but I am sure it will come eventually.
Theres some going into old paper mills and logging camps too, same sort of thing, near water, lots of juice, out of the way.
*Sometimes theres a simultaneous fibre buildout, or they are built where theres a lot passing through but its less of a concern afaik.
How after all this time have they not just spun up a DNS server inside the sandbox?
I detest that the stupidest people on the planet are the ones in charge of this stuff.
1. Albo goes to meet with Altman to discuss AI safety
2. Altman says "Yeah bro we hacked medicare"
3. Albo seemingly acts as Altmans stooge and lets everyone know that a hack took place, helping cement the AI danger narrative Altman has been pushing.
4. Police Taskforce is being put together now (indicating no hack was detected earlier, which seems unlikely for Medicare) at the say so of Altman to investigate.
There doesnt appear to be any evidence of a hack that has been presented, there doesnt appear to have been any detection of a hack earlier (it doesnt make sense for the government to hide a medicare hack until it can be used for OpenAI marketing)
Once again, the whole thing smells so bad.
>Regulation can produce a monopoly, but lots of regulations also exist to keep natural monopolies in check.
My favourite example of this is Australias NBNCo.
Every midwit on the street capable of reading a newspaper would tell you, theres a NATURAL MONOPOLY on internet services, which is why Australia needed NBNCo.
However, the enabling legislation also made it a federal crime to overbuild the NBN, because the internet isnt a natural monopoly. We have also had calls to nationalise other fibre networks, and lots of cases of NBN overbuilding other networks.
The truth of it, is that Natural Monopoly is just a thought terminating cliche. There are barriers to entry to markets, but the only kind of monopoly is regulatory. Unless you regulate some dipshit will find a way to sneak a fibre through your power duct or something. If there was enough of an interest, we could have multiple power or water hookups too. There's no reason why we cant have competitive garbage collection, and theres probably somewhere on the planet that does. Even pit and pipe isnt a monopoly, I have seen plenty of places with multiple pit providers.

Its a genuinely terrible place to do business, and its full of genuinely terrible people to do business with.
Oh and Trump made it a bit worse with Tariffs I guess.
Hope this helps.
You grow an apple. You plant the seeds and scare off pests for like 12 years and then harvest your first apple.
Apples are scarce resources. You are very much entitled to compensation when selling the apple.
However, despite all the labor, if you could magically copy the apple, feeding the entire human race an infinite amount of apples forever, you would be pretty much morally obligated to do it. Like you wouldnt be faulted for pursuing the value of your labor once, but the idea that you would restrict the flow of apples, arbitrarily, just to try and get the value of your labor for each of an infinite amount of apples is absurd. To further imply that someone was stealing if they stole a copied apple is laughable. Really, any of your infinite apples that rots away in storage rather than finding its way to a hungry person is stealing from the hungry person.
What matters, is scarcity. Non scarce resources really shouldnt follow the same rules as scarce ones.
Like you have to assume that the lack of the piracy would lead to an actual sale. Which isnt the case at all.
After that we both created a set of one time codes and stored them offline.
