oh well, I guess we’ll just have to take that enthusiasm and roll it over to all the open weights on providers like fireworks.ai. or others.
i’m so happy I got in early and paid for $200 a month for shit ass Opus 4.6 and sonnet 4.6 and being locked into the absolutely limited Gemini 3.8 flash.
all joking aside, you need to have diversity of depth when it comes to skill sets in these tools and platforms. It does not pay to be a sole expert in Claude code or the anthropic ecosystem.
we have seen this movie before. The fakeness that Anthropic gives off publicly and through its leadership is a sign in and of itself.
More evidence of tribalism, combined with exceptionally precise confessions running as whataboutisms
Pelagicaustral is on the money.
It would just be nice if people understood the difference between wanting a club with a gate versus a community. I am impressed, though. I never thought I’d see a vomit diarrhea load of bumper stickers, but a digital form at the end of the article.
But this is a fun thought experiment so lets .... move on.
Why *exactly* is democracy the absolute best form of govt known to mankind? You just kinda slip that in there which is a massive assumption. And exactly which democracy is best aside from the one proposed?
For that matter exactly WHO? and I do mean WHO says that democracies aren't working? Who the fuck has the balls to say that horseshit premise?
No one is saying that. Not seriously, anywhere. No one. That ultimately is the fatal flaw for this thought experiment.
There are fundamentally different value judgments from "European" "Democracies" vs US vs Asian as examples.
Lottery based is an interesting system but not really doable the way this site lays out.
3 years is too short to do anything; unless there is a relief value where a certain percentage (by lottery) of that year's cohort can do something critical in any representative form of govt. Incumbency.
You do in fact need a slowly revolving core of representatives who can do proper work over 2-5 terms max. Otherwise its a constant nut house with nothing getting done and not near enough permanence for medium to long term solutions over time.
At the end of the day for me -- I do not think the people behind this thought this through and it shows. There isnt serious skull sweat in this thing and I think it undermines an interesting concept. I also think just because you are frustrated in democratic processes -- you are the problem.
Apathy is a choice. Ignorance is a choice. Frustration is a choice.
If you do not like your form of govt -- move, make peace with it or roll up them sleeves and get busy participating.
haha.
Nope. No thank you. Not sure if Windows has that issue.
They do not need a law to take a website to court. They can already do that. I need to find the lobbyist website which tracks how much $$$ is coming from Hollywood to DC.
- Elon Musk founded OpenAI in 2015 with Sam Altman and Dario Amodei to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) that would benefit humanity, not for-profit interests? - OpenAI was established as a non-profit with the goal of open-sourcing its technology when possible? - In 2020, OpenAI licensed its GPT-3 language model exclusively to Microsoft, going against its mission? - By 2023, Microsoft researchers said GPT-4 demonstrated early signs of AGI capabilities. However, OpenAI did not make it openly available? - In 2023, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei took actions that led to a change in OpenAI's board and direction towards profiting Microsoft over public benefit? - The plaintiff alleges this violated the original agreement between Musk, Altman and Amodei to develop AGI for humanity's benefit as a non-profit? - The plaintiff is seeking damages and to compel OpenAI to return to its original non-profit mission of developing safe and openly available AGI? - Key concerns are that for-profit interests now influence whether OpenAI technology is deemed an AGI and how it is used? - The change in direction away from the non-profit public interest mission damaged public trust in OpenAI? - The suit alleges OpenAI's actions constitute unfair business practices under California law?
I guess we will see if these are answered. Personally, I do not trust Musk nor Altman. Approach them from a corner is what I am saying. OpenAI while their idiot savant in chatGPT is interesting. It is hardly worth paying for with such vast gulfs between good and useable answers and the usual terrible or lazy ones you get normally. While it is important to have a basic ruleset for AI, not when it comes to making it pre-k playground rules. No innovation can be truly had with such onerous and too polite rules today. Narrow AI indeed.
That is insane. Why would you stick with an irresponsible company? Unless it is a cultural thing and they are the Walmart of that local area?
I do not get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjmjqlOPd6A
"Before his sentencing in March 1996, Kara made an enigmatic statement in court, promising at some point to share his side of this fascinating tale “Remember, every coin has two sides”
* Senators Hawley and Blumenthal introduced a bill that would exempt AI from Section 230 protections. There is debate around whether Section 230 currently protects AI output.
* The bill's definition of "generative AI" is extremely broad and could apply to technologies like autocomplete, spellcheck, and grammar check.
* By exempting all conduct involving the use or provision of AI, the bill would effectively eliminate Section 230 protections for most internet companies that utilize any form of AI.
* Plaintiffs could claim that content had some AI component to avoid Section 230 dismissal and drag out cases.
* Companies using AI could lose protections even if they were just following user instructions with their systems.
* The bill creates a loophole for problematic state laws regarding AI and internet liability.
* Removing Section 230 protections would discourage companies from hosting user content with any algorithmic elements and chill innovation.
* Spamming defamatory content combined with unrelated AI could remove protections for the platforms.
* The bill is a "poorly drafted sledgehammer" that would undermine the open internet and hand competitive advantages to other countries.
* While reform may be needed, this is not a narrowly targeted approach and would have significant unintended consequences.
