    Can you concretely lay out how you think that scenario would negatively impact HF? They're the de-facto central distribution point for all models; it seems overwhelmingly likely th…

    We live in the era of Project Stargate. We live in the era of military insiders getting caught rigging Polymarket. We live in the era where AI companies are the only reason we're n…

    They can't have it both ways. You don't get to tell the media your product is more dangerous than nuclear weapons for precisely this reason , and then do less to secure it than an …

    (I also disagree, I'm just using it to argue with the guy above claiming it's irrelevant) Within your metaphor, the person I'm replying to would say "I did nothing to stop the land…

    It's not a good or acceptable thing for the level of discourse on this website to be a bunch of 8th-grade boys on Xbox Live. You can disagree with OP or be conservative or whatever…

    Oh I fully agree, if it wasn't clear I am supporting the most radical conclusions you could possibly take from your original comment. I hope that wasn't you downvoting, and just th…

    I mean it depends what you mean by "we". There are laws on the books to do so, they've just never been used against Epstein associates like Musk. We have a surface system of politi…

    Xbox is literally imploding right now, they laid off half the company and significantly raised the console price. If sales were good they never would've had to do game pass. Beside…
