If that's all you're using LLMs for, you've definitely fallen behind.

I like how “you’ve fallen behind” is the ai version of “you’re not gonna make it” from the crypto-bro days.

My favorite part is how people compare AI to crypto as if they are remotely in the same universe of importance and impact

Why are we missing the point here: LLMs are of major geopolitical significance. Autonomous drones kill children, now what? Would you rather have a home grown frontier model capability to defend yourself? Or would you prefer to rely on the good graces of tech CEOs?

I think the EU would prefer wars not happen and that they never have to think about defending their borders or themselves. This is fantasy land, but the cafes and museums and old city squares are gorgeous.

This polemic is quite sad. Wars are only cool in movies. And - apparently - in US politics. The reason the EU shirks talking about war is because it actually lived through it. And it wasn't cool.

The US is waging wars far from their borders (of which they all lost since about 50 years) while the topic in the EU is self defence within their borders, that's a different ball game.

A third of the US economy is propped up by waging wars. That's not even being imperialistic that's just a very costly and damaging social service program that costs a lot of lives.

reducing unskilled and hateful immigration is the democratic thing do this has nothing to the other good idea which is to start building AI

Actually yea, it has everything to do with it. I am open to the idea that we should handle immigration differently, but I want a plan and specifics, not slogans. What we want to achieve, and by what mechanisms you plan to get there. Open any newspaper: are you more likely to find careful and considerate opinions or racist screeds? And that is the problem. Time and energy and money and political capital are routinely…

you only need to handle immigration if you have immigration. problem is kinda solved if you don't have immigration or at least "immigration that cause problems"

i know many immigrant who don't pose any problem withou need for "handling" or "supervision"
