and in a world with proprietary world-dominatingly powerful AI, who do you think would be the ones managing that? “the government” would just be a thin proxy layer for whatever the magic box decides

1. Tech abuses its users on purpose and everyone knows it. 2. Tech companies are built on eating someone else’s lunch, mostly, and it’s not usually a fair redistribution of value.

He described a separate machine where the execution and context would be hosted, not local sandboxes. Did I misunderstand how Gondolin works?

Uh, they are doing that because they think one of them is going to build the monopoly that will rule the rest of the future approximately forever.

Don’t forget getting targeted for scams by slopbots on forums and chat platforms

It’s kinda funny even though it’s probably slop-augmented because at multiple points throughout the narrative I found myself second-guessing my belief that it was satire.

Perhaps it was a rhetorical question.

The bigger issue is the screening filters are flooded now (and also largely AI “enhanced”) so getting real signal through the noise is becoming basically impossible.

I suspect people who think they are getting away with this are far more obvious than they realize.

This is exactly what first came to my mind as well. Pretty funny scenario to imagine

Do you really think free computing will be banned to the extent that most people cannot easily obtain open models? That seems like a way huger problem than openAI going under

All 550K diesels with modded emissions are not rolling coal, that is a wild extrapolation I didn’t ask the multiplier of badness of a single individual doing a bad and stinky thing, I asked what you think the _scale_ is. Do you believe tha

that seems like possibly the most unlikely outcome

do you really think there’s no way to prevent or penalize that behavior without preventing the user from owning and operating their own engine? also, what scale of harm do you think exists from those people? do you really believe that contr

“Users shouldn’t be same to control their own engines actually” hmm well ok then

I think it will eventually result in regulation and a potential grey market, and/or implosion of the centralized LLM services — I doubt they can keep hardware from becoming cheaper forever, and diminishing returns will make consumer ha

How is it difficult to make the connection between a thought experiment about a world-eating AI monster, Anthropic marketing their AI as a world-eating monster, and Anthropic accelerating frontier development of their world-eating monster a

I’ve come to believe that this is less an emacs problem and more an “emacs plugins that try to do way too much stuff / take too much control” problem. I’m on vanilla emacs (I don’t even use use-package) and my config never breaks any

I find it somewhat encouraging to hear that the devoted AI shills have not managed to generate the artificial consensus / synthetic consent that they seem to have been intending to.

I’m a little disappointed that someone beat me to this.

They just finished the final tower after 144 years, although there is still another decade of (finishing?) work remaining.

People treat giant lego sets the same way they treat other complex model sets, it’s not really for disassembling as much as it is for the fun of building and then having / being proud of, I guess, mostly. I mean you can never really s

Excuse me? Describing people’s motives and reasoning has no bearing on my own. I’ve repaired multiple components on my own vehicle. Your mentality on the other hand is entirely typical of the reason I avoided this cesspool of a website f

well, people want to have enough money to do what they need to do, of course, so they will choose things that they can in order to minimize cost and time spent, and increase convenience. That doesn’t mean they don’t want to own things that

A lot of it does come down to a cost / benefit analysis where time preference is extremely overweighted due to an abundance of seemingly free credit and, shall we say, a tragic dustbowl famine of available cognitive resources.
