The system works because it runs on human ambition. If people in power handed their control to an AI there wouldn't be companies and mergers anymore. It wouldn't make sense. That world could be great or it could be dystopian.

Hello to the new app store and "Nvidia model approval process".

Better headline: Developers prove they have no idea or appreciation for what a CEO does.

Unlikely, but say goodbye to uncensored and abliterated models.

These acquisitions are not healthy. They stifle competition and make it easier for governments to censor open weight models by choking off distribution points.

Were you using the full model or a quantized version, and what harness/configuration were you using?

It sounds like you were using a quant model.

The problem is the FDA's pathetic throughput times. It takes them decades to approve drugs. Blood tests take 1-2 years on average. It's a huge bottleneck. If they could turn these things around faster and work iteratively, it would be different.

As long as we make examples out of the few that exploit, it will be a-ok.

Right, it's paperwork. I get it. Horribly inefficient paperwork.

Google "how was theranos caught" to find out that an investigative journalist uncovered the fraud, and the FDA missed it.

Their doctor should be qualified to make that judgment without a government bureaucracy evaluating the efficacy of the test on their behalf, unless you want to completely destroy the rate of medical breakthroughs. If there's no potential harm from the procedure itself, the government shouldn't be involved at all.

Imagine if every new AI model had to be "cleared" by a government regulator. The role of government in healthcare evaluation needs to be simplified and streamlined. The liability needs to be shifted to doctor, and if it's a case of charlatanism, that liability should include a lengthy prison sentence.

Why is the FDA "clearing" something that is completely innocuous like a blood test?

What about it?

You missed the Terra Invicta "you think it's easy, but you'll be dead in 40 hours because you are underperforming" curve.

No, you are putting words in my mouth. I would gladly pay more taxes for representation that had me and my peoples' interests in mind. I'm not a libertarian idiot.

You didn't read my post objectively. My point is that the current governments, with the exception of some local governments, do not represent or serve their constituencies; in fact, they actively subvert them. I'm assuming your European, that's especially true for you.

You are claiming infrastructure can only be maintained by a government? That's a ridiculous assertion. Most of the work is outsourced to contractors. They are acting as mediocre project managers, not the masters of inscrutable infrastructure technology.

The state has a monopoly on certain types of infrastructure that it ultimately sustains through the threat of repossession. It uses that monopoly to racketeer property owners under the threat of repossessing their property.

If what you are claiming is true, then why does Malta have higher property values than countries with property tax?

I would agree to a property tax if the voting systems worked fairly at a sufficiently granular level, but they don't. They are farces maintained by criminal organizations beyond a certain scale.

You don't really own it because of the property tax. Unless you live in Malta or a handful of other countries you are effectively renting from the state.

Yes, then we can build a company store where the slav... er, "employees" can shop and discuss how to be more productive on their projects!

Thank you.

Anthropic and OpenAI have proven themselves to be aspiring monopolists through their positions and actions. Why would you want to share your research with them?

"All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing."

I love how they invoke fear of "terrorism" to justify their oppressive position.

Anthropic would love the US to do everything in this list under the guise of "safety testing":

Or a strikethrough token!

It's more than information overload. It's an overabundance of distractions specifically designed to steal your attention. I block dark pattern sites during working hours. It helps immensely.

Ok, but in 24 months that's the equivalent of downloading 100 variations of MSDOS. Torrents and vpn exist. I think this is more of a problem for corporations.

They'll do the "tornado cash under Biden" routine most likely.

Filtering based on hardware is super helpful. Everyone should do this. There are millions of models, and most of them require a server room to load and run.

What a waste of resources.

I would like to see climate research funded, but it needs to be de-politicized and stop being used to push fear propaganda and sinister policies.

They used it to flat out destroy the economies in much of Europe, while somehow China and India were ignored despite being orders of magnitude bigger problems, according to their own narrative.

If any of the above were honest, there would have been blanket trade restrictions and sanctions on China and India so quickly it would make your head spin.

Politics on this site is as astroturfed/censored as reddit, and the moderators are interchangeable. It's good for tech news.

Fun fact: there are significantly more heat deaths in Europe than car fatalities.

Interesting priorities...
