Not sure how valuable it would be for interrogations of state level actors? Ironically, I'd think it might even be better for your adversary if the technology does work? We know th…

This. I'm unsure why people still believe we need the middle class to lead consumption for our economy to be "good"? At this point I feel like there is a lot of evidence out there …

> They will probably never release the training data because that represents a large part of their competitive moat Not that what you've written isn't the case. However, in additio…

Reasonable for people at the bottom of the tech pyramid. Certainly for startup guys this is heaven sent. For people at the top of the tech pyramid, I could totally see why they'd w…

I tell everyone whenever I get a chance, download any open weights models you can as soon as possible. Buy extra hardrives. Borrow them. Do whatever you have to do. But to paraphra…

> but seem unlikely to surpass the companies that are training these models from scratch Then why is it a problem? Another serious question. Trying to get my head around what the r…

Why? Serious question. I'm from the US, and I think it's hilarious.

None of which would have happened if we had not gotten so complacent about defending our democracy through vigorous enforcement of the Constitution, and voting in a fashion more in…

The entire point of the Constitution was to not trust each other. We wouldn't even need checks or balances if trust were a reasonable governing philosophy. Nor a Bill of Rights, no…

Together, both comments make a good example of the reason one should not trust what one reads on the internet. It sucks. But there's just too much astro-turfing.

> trustworthy search makes a huge difference That's the rub. Today on the internet, no one can validate that there exists any "trustworthy search". If we don't control the servers …

Just Devil’s Advocate, but couldn’t you ask these models about controversial topics in US or Chinese history. Like, what happened at Tiananmen? Or what happened during the Tulsa ri…

In the U.S. this seems highly unlikely Aren't these the same guys who won't even let us have Chinese cars? I'm not as confident as you that they will keep allowing us access to tec…

People move towards places with growing economic opportunities. I hope people aren't expecting data centers to provide "growing economic opportunities". That's not really what data…

Even then, it still sounds stupid.

We have a home in Houston. Over by the big gates down Sunset. I have no particular objection to building datacenters there. All that said, I think you're being real hand-wave-y her…

This. The Jedi Hand Wave-y nature of the way people talk about AI these days is going to make reigning in the AI superpowers nearly impossible. Because there are people out here wh…

In fairness, I mean, if the people collecting the data sell it on the open market, then you can't realistically expect it to be private. The only solution in that case is to make i…

> As ever, if you want to know where much of the expertise has gone, look to China (and South Korea) Good news! You don't need to worry about that anymore! I can guarantee you, as …

> they just use platforms like aws bedrock, there are too many restrictions on Anthropic's own platform This is actually the only way that what Anthropic is alleging would make any…

Not sure you can “unplug” from things that affect you that you cannot control? Sooner or later you’ll have to deal with that issue. I do think you can “unplug” from things that do …

> also, i stepped over a homeless guy on my way into the grocery store last week. This. The evidence that it's possible is all around us. Right in our faces. That people believe th…

Not to be a jerk or anything, but that only matters for the guys and gals left holding the bag. I don't think that will be Musk. He'll probably pull out significant resource from a…

In fairness, there are a lot of Japanese people who feel they were not consulted on the scale and scope of "Japanese peoples' expectations". So many such people that they could get…
