I’m not buying the “AI security threat”, and I don’t really care if the best models are open source - and Chinese. If everyone can buy enough hardware to run the best models, what’…

I like how the “Chinese propaganda” against datacenters was found to be mostly a collection of facts. While Russian propaganda is more clumsy and emotional, we’ve produced such an …

China imports food and has stressed or extremely stressed fresh water reserves. You take out the method they keep alive hundreds of millions of citizens, you think they won’t launc…

I'd buy and run an open Chinese model before I ever paid for monthly access to any of these AI assholes.

Banning Chinese open source AI is “quick war with Iran” levels of strategic thinking.

The USA?

Even the "eco terrorist suburban Jihadi" grindset is trying to sell you a course. As time progresses, I am increasingly convinced the internet was a mistake.

Remember: people used to say playing Chess was “AI”. There were dedicated Chess chips, and it was a massive AI undertaking. We’re treating LLMs like we have every other tool. It’s …

I think optimizing for the stock market is what's leading to political instability and making our country a worse place to live; I think it would be great if we threw a wrench into…

This is more an age thing, and it's fixed by experience. Which is why there's such a focus on youth - who else can you get to sacrifice themselves with the whisper promise that it …

Counterpoint - this just indicates how screwed up things are. If you’re saying this as a positive thing, it isn’t. Most people don’t want to compete with the global 1% - to import …

Eh, this is our species first contact with that type of technology. A good number of voices see how deleterious these things are, and it’s all still very new. Future humans will te…

If we believe the people selling AI, keeping up your skills at code is like keeping your expertise at wooden wheel making during the time of the automobile. We have to ask ourselve…

Our own intelligence agencies said they were not making nuclear weapons. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/americas-spies-say-ira... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-intel-c…

These are the same people that sent manufacturing jobs away to be copied elsewhere. They got rewarded for it in the market. Decades later, when it was clearly a problem, they got t…

It’s okay when they do it, because they’re wagging a finger at all of us bad people for being voyeurs, promoted by our stochastic ringleader to throw peanuts. They’re pure, we’re n…

Fascist parties aren’t worried about logical inconsistency, they’re only worried about the pursuit of unchecked power. They crossed that bridge some time ago. These aren’t the old …

I mean, their planning has been very effective. It's a decentralized strategy that plays to their strengths; it doesn't take a lot to hold the strait closed, and they can pressure …

Trump cancelled a ton of green energy initiatives, why are we blaming the same regulators you imply are a good thing by pointing out that China "doesn't do ecological protections"?…

Of course it won’t survive, it’s the jpeg of a chimp in a baseball cap smoking a cigar of money.

Yes, this is easy to explain. It creates a country nobody is willing to fight for. Beyond certain levels of inequality, you get systemic dysfunction. Beyond a certain point, having…

The point of a refactor is for you to think deeply about the code you are responsibility for, so you can make it better (faster, easier to work on, more tests, whatever). You’ve go…

> But not because it's a jobs program for nerds. We’re becoming increasingly embarrassing as a society.

18k/yr? None of the LLMs generate anything like that in value!
