I disagree with OpenAI. I think ALL those mega-money seeking AI organisations need to be designated as supply chain risk. Also, they drove the prices up for RAM - I don't want to pay extra just because these companies steal all our RAM now. The laws must change - I totally understand that corporations seek profit, that is natural, but this is no longer a free market serving individual people. It is now a racket where…

its the definition of a free market that RAM prices have increased. supply and demand.

the literal definition. if I sold RAM the prices would be 10,000% higher (they’d likely still be scooped up)

The idea that any of these companies have anything that represents ethics as they steal everyones data, fight against any regulation or accountability, all while they claim (or lie, depending on your view) they might make something that could endanger the human race as a whole, is laughable.

It's money and power with these people. Dig down and you'll find how this decision is motivated by one or both.

Did you guys really think that the jurisprudential issues that became endemic after 9/11 suddenly disappeared because we discovered LLMs? Let’s put pressure on our government to fix the FISA issues. Let’s reign in the executive branch. But let’s do it through voting. Let’s not give up on our system of government because we have new shiny technology. You were naive if you thought developing new technologies was the so…

While I agree that we should be voting in people who will respect the power and authority they're given, I can't imagine we will vote away all these problems. We would need to vote in a president and 60%+ into congress that is willing to throw away their own power and authority. I just don't see that happening, especially not in a political system so corrupted already.

The US needs a organization doing the equivalent of the Nation Popular Vote Interstate Compact but for candidates and for fixing the US voting system. Get running politicians to sign up for if 60% of you are in office you'll table and vote for a specific already spelled out constitutional reform for more representative voting.

The goal being more than two parties in government so that democrats and republicans can fracture into more functional bodies (MAGA, RINOs, neo-liberal, progressive etc) and people can vote closer to their issues/beliefs and that multiple parties mean 1 party isn't running rushod over the other.

From that same X thread: Our agreement with the Department of War upholds our redlines [1] OpenAI has the same redlines as Anthopic based on Altman's statements [2]. However somehow Anthropic gets banished for upholding their redlines and OpenAI ends up with the cash?

> based on Altman's statements

The dude is notorious for being a compulsive liar, even if supporters have to admit as much.

The OpenAI PR implies that Anthropic had a "usage-policy" clause with no actual enforcement.

Whereas OpenAI won their contract on the ability to operationally enforce the red lines with their cloud-only deployment model.

I'm pretty sure the amount the money spent on offensive actions is significantly less than the defense

When was America last invaded by a foreign adversary?

This resembles anti-vax logic. We haven’t been invaded because our military maintains a strong deterrence and strategic depth.
