Unfortunately I think the writing is clearly on the wall. Fully autonomous weapons are coming soon

Props to Dario and Anthropic for holding firm on these two points that I feel like should be a no-brainer

I do not understand this move by Nvidia, they are afraid of being out competed by this startup in their core competence of building chips for AI? They may be eliminating a competit…

Right because countries with smaller populations can't beat larger ones when defending their homeland. Oh wait that's exactly what happened in Afghanistan vs USSR and USA, Vietnam …

And who is China's strongest ally in the world?

This only takes into account income tax and not other taxes which are often more regressive such as sales tax, payroll tax etc. When analyzing taxes paid we should take into accoun…

That's fair to call our democrats when they say things with contempt but is this not a phenomenon that happens from both sides now? What about when JD Vance calls out 'miserable ch…

> Higher child tax credit, and generally pro-family You mean like the one that democrats proposed and republicans in the senate killed?

Give me a fucking break. Trump trashes segments of America for years and gets a pass but if a democrat makes a single pissed off comment it's a big deal.

Was Mike Pence getting chosen for his Christian background not an example of identity politics? Was JD Vance being a younger politician to balance old Trump identity politics? Ever…

Agreed and Trump is not going to do it, he's going to try and make the richer richer just like he did with his tax cuts last time https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-how-capitalism-…

Do you realize what the cost was to society to have a Bell Labs? Telephone service was expensive as hell and you couldn't even own your own telephone. There was no incentive for in…

You have no idea what you're talking about. China has been cracking down on it's capitalist class/entrepreneurs 100x what the US gov has done.

There really aren't that many platforms that 'everyone' uses. So yes you regulate them. Just like we regulate the thousands of bars in the country from allowing minors in

Time will tell. Hopefully the new board will still be mostly independent of Sam/MSFT/VC influence. I really hope they continue as an org that tries its best to uphold their charter…

Dude just think about that for a moment. By definition if existential risk has been proven. It's already too late

Well it depends on who's on the new board and what they believe. If Altman, Greg, and MSFT do not have direct representation on the new board there would still be a check against h…

The most plausible explanation I've found is that the pro-safety faction and pro-accel factions were at odds which was why the board was stalemated at a small size. Altman and Tone…

I think it was mostly a bluff to try the pressure the board. I don't think Sam and most of Open AI rank and file would want to be employees of MSFT

I guess the main question is who else will be on the board and to what degree will this new board be committed to the Open AI charter vs being Sam/MSFT allies. I think having Sam r…

I mean it's not like there's going to be a huge pool of suitable candidates for something like this on short notice. They probably picked the most capable candidate they knew of wh…

But I think this episode shows how dependent OpenAI was on Microsoft. They seem to be closer to an extension than a truly independent actor

Human character doesn't change that much, let's say that in his heart Sam is more of of a move fast and commercialize type of leader and Ilya doesn't want that. Do you think them s…

"...EA brand will now be associated with irrational feminized college students rather than interesting quantitative thinkers." That is quite a quote, the kind that makes it hard to…

I'd be willing to bet that the average corporate exec or VC is more of a sociopath than the average nonprofit leader/board member
