This argument is old and goes back to cyber security. Things like government backdoors are the same. It's true centralizing power in the hands of a "good" would theoretically be good. But the key part is the "good".

I'm also at a loss. It feels like some rube goldberg machine of connections among elites, bringing up people with no apparent connection to the article other than being big and in some way connected to someone else in it.

I can put up with a little bit of dramatic name dropping in an article at the start, but it never stops. Almost every paragraph is reads like some snappy autobiography of someone trying to impress the reader. I'm not even sure what the

Not specifically about the comment you replied to, but there has been an absolute Cambrian explosion of plausible sounding projects that use really complicated words that are just AI psychosis. Recently there was someone who posted a huge L

They phrase it in a confusing way, with a lot of fluff. But to my understanding what happens is 1. At some part in the transformer, calculate the Jacobian (matrix gradients for that forward pass). Do this for 1000 prompts and average them.

Completely stopping people from using open source models is impossible, but if it became a federal law there could be incredible pressure exerted on US companies. For example, OpenRouter might be compelled to not accept open source requests

Paraphrasing him, he says that open source software which tool tens or hundreds of millions to build should be classified as a different category. And the implication being they should be banned. Why?

I feel obliged to point out the disingenuousness of what this post says and the post it quotes. The most egregious parts are payment fraud and reselling - these are speculated but not actually said to be known to be happening, which you hav

The openness of AI is currently being held up only by Chinese companies (previously Meta, but they stopped). They're not saints, but there is not even a question in the open weight/HF community that the immense mass of Chinese tal

I'd hazard anthropic perceives their number 1 enemy as open weight models. If alternatives to their business exist (which is mainly coding tokens currently), they will get into a nasty fight and the nightmare of all tech companies - lo

Anthropic is master of Newspeak (see previously bugs -> vulnerabilities wrt Mythos). Distillation violates their terms of service, which is a civil offense, not a criminal one. It is not illicit, illegal nor breaks any laws.

I'm confused, is the pitch here to train (to the extent that using an LLM needs training) like Red Cross volunteers to use Claude?

The checking has nothing to do with AI, despite the (massively funded) marketing done to make you think so. It is based on formal methods/theorem provers.

Also, slightly stretching the definition of terms consecutively, so the multiplicative meaning is really far from the truth. For example, 271 vulnerabilities were really mostly bugs - generally incorrect states, but which almost never led t

The field is massively hampered by the wishful mnemonics and anthropomorphization of LLMs. For example, even the hallucination idea arbitrarily assigns human semantics to LLM results. By the actual mathematical principles by which LLMs work

The more accurate version is only Chinese companies (plus Facebook briefly) really open source their frontier models. The rest are non frontier. They are either older or specialized for something.

I do think there's value in science communication, but it does take an intelligent understanding of it on a case by case basis as to whether it's genuine or hype marketing. Side note: talking to someone from such a "elite&quo

Often at the start yes. So the students gets a bit of recognition, a bit of experience and a bit of knowledge.

Yes, and it's a very interesting use case for Wasm. Firefox has a sandbox called RLbox built on this, and has been published in a few papers. Performance is one benefit, but the real killer feature is Wasm's guarantees are incredi

I think a more useful version of the law is "Any good measure requires a good person." For example, a good measure of research is to have an intelligent faculty member or members read it and decide if it's good. Converting it

How is this even legal? I'd think even basic conflict of interest rules between vendor and purchases would stop this.

Meta is actually at a huge disadvantage here. The IRS has a litigation success rate of 93%. It's an astoundingly successful legal entity.

Property taxes also apply in Singapore and I believe in practice eminent domain is rarely exercised. But the home ownership rate is the thing I feel the most I should correct. It is very heavily pushed that Singaporeans own their homes. But
