How does the merge impact you then?

The more obvious, to me, interpretation was distance from us so I would've expected Terra -> Luna -> Sol -> Astra.

When I think of space and astronomical scales, I think of distance as much more common concern.

"failed up" is currently defined as founding a company that goes public and being its CEO. I'd love to know what success is.

Disgusting that they are, unintentionally but incredibly irresponsibly, actively vandalizing cyberspace with impunity.

Per you.

> Both companies market themselves as surveillance tools for oppressive regimes.

Look at some of these "surveillance tools" that they are marketing to "oppressive regimes". Their website brags about these deeply oppressive surveillance features:

- Identifying material threats to your workforce - Integration with Concur and your HRIS

Look at some of the "oppressive regimes" they sell to, such as the evil Amnesty International: https://imgur.com/a/U4Zef3x

I have to wonder, though, why doesn't Palantir mention them? https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apalantir.com+samdesk

They seem to mention actual competitors: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apalantir.com+c3

Given your 4D chess logic, they really should be mentioning all their competitors to poison their wells.

I guess you've chosen to do the editorializing for the writers in lieu of their presence here.

Same and I have found it extremely annoying. I actually really like the Gemini models for question/answer stuff and reach for it before Claude (the other model family I have purchased) but it's getting long in the tooth at this point and I'm finding my Gemini usage shrinking to nearly 0.

  You are right that this is hard from a prompt alone, but for a slightly stranger
  reason than the obvious one. The model never sees columns. It sees tokens, and a
  token can be one character or nine, so "make this line 80 wide" asks it to run a
  hidden tally over pieces it cannot count by looking at them. Any slip early in a
  line compounds, and there is no backspace key to reach for once it is committed.
  That said, the failure is not total. A model can lean on a learned feel for line
  length, pick shorter or longer synonyms to land close to the target, and rewrite
  a sentence when it overshoots. It will not be perfect every time, but it lands a
  lot more often than pure chance would suggest. The sampling trick you mention is
  the real fix: mask each token that would push a line past the limit, and force a
  newline the moment the count hits the mark. That converts a fuzzy instruction to
  a hard constraint with zero training. Fine tuning helps too, but mostly sharpens
  the same internal counter rather than replacing it. This reply is a small proof;
  if any line here is off by one, feel free to consider your point demonstrated...

Whoa! You have to _learn_ something to use it well? Yikes. Not for me.

He works on the safety team and their responsible scaling policies. He literally may be working on slowing down AGI progress at Anthropic.

Working to build AI at the company that is most publicly discussing the risks posed by AI to humanity and most advocating for guardrails (while getting an immense amount of flack for implementing them independently) doesn't seem to support anything about what you, or rather the other person said, about sacrificing humanity for anything AI related.

Can you find any explicitly EA organization that is at all aligned in perspective with anything you suggested?

BTW, not sure what gets more anti-human and evil than wishing violence on whole groups of people!

It's so bad I can only guess that it's purposefully so. "sell like cupcakes"????
