Google offers a great many things for free. Should they get beneficial tax treatment for it?

PBCs have no beneficial tax treatment and neither does OpenAI.

So, what's the point of a PBC?

Not being snarky here, like what is the purported thesis behind them?

Democratic AI but we don’t want it regulated by any democratic process

SamA is in a hurry because he's set to lose the race. We're at peak valuation and he needs to convert something now . If the entrenched giants (Google, Microsoft and Apple) catch up - and Google 100% has, if not surpassed - they have a thousand levers to pull and OpenAI is done for. Microsoft has realized this, hence why they're breaking up with them - Google and Anthropic have shown they don't need OpenAI. Galaxy ph…

Sorry but perhaps you haven't looked at the actual numbers.

Market share of OpenAI is like 90%+.

I wonder if democracy is some kind of corporate speech homonym of some totally different concept I'm familiar with. Perhaps it's even an interesting linguistic case where a word is a homonym of its antonym?

Edit: also apparently known as contronym.

It's not a redefinition, it's a refinement. Think about it - the original definition of AGI was basically a machine that can do absolutely anything at a human level of intelligence or better. That kind of technology wouldn't just appear instantly in a step change. There would be incremental progress. How do you describe the intermediate stages? What about a machine that can do anything better than the 50th percentile…

> It's not a redefinition, it's a refinement It's really not. The Space Shuttle isn't an emerging interstellar spacecraft, it's just a spacecraft. Throwing emerging in front of a qualifier to dilute it is just bullshit. > By the same reasoning, so is a person. They are just auto completing words when they speak. We have no evidence of this.

Technically it is a refinement, as it distinguishes levels of performance.

The General Intelligence part of AGI refers to its ability to solve problems that it was not explicitly trained to solve, across many problem domains. We already have examples of the current systems doing exactly that - zero shot and few shot capabilities.

> We have no evidence of this.

That's my point. Humans are not "autocompleting words" when they speak.

Huh. Then yah, what the heck? Why not just be a regular corp?

They don't collect data?

If you use it, that means you received more value than you gave up. It's called consumer surplus.

“Use of prison facilities is explicit admission of guilt.”

It’s called prisoners dilemma when even the government is propping this up.

You saying —- with a straight face —- that post 2020 LLM AIs have made only incremental progress?

Yep, compared to beating the Turing test, the progress has been linear with exponentially growing investment. That's diminishing marginal returns.
