You are right to feel that way about the frontier labs, especially Anthropic. From https://stratechery.com/2026/anthropics-safety-superpower/ > "Anthropic believes that they are th…

Hosting and providing Chinese models wouldn't be the same as doing business with the sanctioned entities though, you don't interact with them in any capacity if you only use the we…

> Proprietary model weights are IP I don't think they are. Not copyright at least. There may be some "trade secret" stuff for them but they're not copyrightable.

Material that shouldn't be published for any reason is already subject to a sealing process. What else is needed?

Funnily enough, Orwell actually reviewed We in 1946: https://orwell.ru/library/reviews/zamyatin/english/e_zamy

Things aren't as hopeless as you assume. I read this essay a few months ago which calmed those doomsday theories for me somewhat: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-founda…

Extreme control of movement and sleep including deprivation of it for arbitrary amounts, constant lighting, no outside time, nothing to do for months at a time, lack of nutritious …

Why do you believe mantaining an acceptable level of peacefulness requires torture?

Could you tell me how actual torture helps that system, and why exactly you can't take it away without disrupting the harmony? It is definitely possible to hold people in detention…

That's a false binary. European nations manage without either of them for example.

Even granting that (which... no. How is it true? Any evidence?) it's still less inhumane than what Japan is doing here. The conditions amount to torture. The fact that many people …

Direct torture is certainly less humane than abandonment.

They would have used the "ghost user" strategy. > "Perrin now offers a different framing. “Article 8 ter, which I had adopted, was not at all aimed at obtaining encryption keys but…

It's not about the displacement of workers. It talks about a fundamental principles-level objection to unbounded "progress". It's not an absolute argument and Orwell himself says s…

The virtues you mention are not a consequence of the tortuous treatment described in the post though. Conditions could rise to Western humane standards and the underlying Japanese …

> Pretty much any cognitive thing we do manually could be done in software. Yes, although I suggest being careful with that kind of thinking. https://www.orwell.ru/library/novels/T…

Still, that's no reason to accept a return to that state of affairs. Progress happens slowly and imperceptibly, but on a grand scale it does happen.

You can mitigate malware while still allowing for the same level of end-user control as the manufacturer. Look at Windows itself! People getting infected on up-to-date installation…

It's not about "design", because the iPhone is perfectly capable of running arbitrary code, it just refuses to do so if you're not Apple. The situation is such that the legal owner…

My pet theory is that this has been accelerated due to the cultural rejection of the humanities as worthy of study. Orwell wrote about this: https://orwell.ru/library/articles/scie…

While the article points out many worrying trends which are true, I would caution against making far-reaching predictions, especially if they involve drastic, rapid change. Orwell …

Yeah, that attitude is not new. > "The point is that as soon as fear, hatred, jealousy and power worship are involved, the sense of reality becomes unhinged. And, as I have pointed…

> Social media platforms aren't free speech platforms either, you're subject to their terms and conditions. Sure, but this verification rubbish comes from the government.

Exactly. Here's Orwell speaking on the whole thing: > "An argument that Socialists ought to be prepared to meet, since it is brought up constantly both by Christian apologists and …
