    Rumor is that part of the disruption at GDM these past few months also involved people not wanting to be bound to strictly LLM research.

    Sure, because the state didn't have a stake. Trying suing when it's in the states interest, like it is to build AI datasets on western data. For reference, no case in China has eve…

    China has laws that serve the state, not the individual. They are there for the party to use to prosecute. So you could file, but considering the state is the one responsible for h…

    Well, yes, because the courts and the AI labs are totally separate entities. If they are doing it to you, they are probably doing it to others, which makes an easy class action

    If it's hosted in China, they can tell you whatever you want to hear and do whatever they want to do. What are you going to do? Take a CCP company in front of a CCP judge?

    No, I didn't make the argument they were obscure, in fact they all are from a set of common illnesses that....also contains thousands of illnesses. Again, this is the kind of stuff…

    But this is precisely how you get these large wealth gaps in society. Not like the 1% vs the bottom 50%, but the bottom 50% vs the top 30%. That "high efficiency" is actually "less…

    Sure, but it's only six (6) specific illnesses. There are tens of thousands of illnesses. I'm almost 100% confident you could cherry pick any six illenses to get any outcome you wa…

    To be fair, the structure of that study is pretty bizarre. Why only look at 6 specific illnesses rather than something like life expectancy?

    There will never be a better healthcare because the true cost of fixing a body more often than not far exceeds the value that body produces. People run to dismiss this with "well w…

    Just a hypothetical... Building new infra will extend beyond trumps term, so it's possible they do "planning" for 2 years, new admin comes in, and they abandon the plan and go back…

    They're also making massive investments in coal. China is concerned with not having to import energy. They don't care much about climate change.

    I don't think you are aware, probably because no one wants to hear it, how unbelievably greedy the people you sell stuff to are. If you think corporations are ultimate incarnation …

    I'm not sure if you are kidding or not, it would be a funny sarcastic remark in the right circles, but if serious, this exact line of thinking is exactly why things like indie-go-g…

    And where does that income tax/payroll tax money come from?

    The actual question is if you could move to another country with a very different system of "manners" (read: culture) and throw out your learned behavior and adopt theirs. My exper…

    Their capex is primarily in building DCs (and what goes into them), which they fully intend to monetize in order to capture that $500B backlog. In that context, the amount of new c…

    In an interview, Zuck said that the cost of not having super intelligent AI is far more than the cost of trying to develop it.

    It's vision capabilities are still top notch, and it seems pretty natural that most everyday human users are going to want strong vision over strong language/coding.
