It could be, but it could also be because he is genuinely worried about the future impact of runaway capitalism without guardrails + AI.

Then the government should takeover OpenAI

Or.. the government could try to apply sensible regulations so that OpenAI and other corporations are less likely to harm society.

Sounds desperate now that open source models are quickly catching up without the woke mind virus.

> open source models I read this as a try (conscious or not) to make them illegal.

For sure, that was my interpretation as well.

What we expected License for me but not for thee Think of the children Building the moat

I am curious, what part of ChatGPT is "woke mind virus" infected? Is there a particular category or something that it is politically biased on?

Open ai has had a surprisingly fast pivot from the appearance of being a scrappy open-ish company trying to build something to share and improve the world to more or less unmitigated embrace of the bad sides of big corporate. This is so unbelievably blatant I almost find it hard to credit.

Imagine calling empathy a virus.

Not the same thing. I would not go there: let us remain on the prospected regulation of technology, in this case, and reserve distinctions for other conversations. This initiative could have drastic consequences.

Open AI lobbying for regulation on common people being able to use AI, isn't it wonderful.

They acknowledged there’s no technical moat, so it’s time to lobby for a regulatory one. Predictable. Disappointing, but predictable.

Walks like a duck. Talks like a duck. It's a duck.

We've seen this duck so many times before.

No need to innovate when you can regulate.

To be fair LLMs are predicting the next token. It's just that to get better and better predictions it needs to understand some level of reasoning and math. However it feels to me that a lot of this reasoning is brute forced from the training data. Like chatgpt gets some things wrong when adding two very large numbers. If it really knew the algorithm for adding two numbers it shouldn't be making them in the first plac…

> If it really knew the algorithm for adding two numbers it shouldn't be making them in the first place. You're using it wrong. If you asked a human to do the same operation in under 2 seconds without paper, would the human be more accurate? On the other hand if you ask for a step by step execution, the LLM can solve it.

2 seconds? What model are you using?
