As opposed to the frontier model company that, after discovering that their highly persistent model under test just breached the only thing between it and the open Internet, shrugged and said- let's restart it and keep going! If anyone

Let me fix that for you. Lots of maga are idealists (even if their ideas are not based in the real world), a number of them are LARPers and a small number are hard core intent on eliminating “the enemy”. To think that no maga member is viol

Both. (See for example @dhsgov) Unfortunately those politicians are the ones who directly affect lives of all of us through their words and actions. Your defeatist attitude is one of the reasons we are in this mess in the first place. Why s

Agreed. Which is why I’m in favor of recording all conversations within earshot of any public location. Those can be tagged for keywords related to child endangerment. After all, who would argue against protecting kids? In fact, we should t

If you feel there should be cuts to nsf, then congress should do so (as enshrined by law). Not executive fiat by the president. Per the constitution the congress has the power of the purse.

Don’t know why you’re downvoted but this venture funding is exactly what makes the scale and centralization of surveillance possible. You can’t build this sort of system out without the debt financing provided by the vc industry. For exampl

I mean, you've already had 10 months to come up with some name ideas. It's not like it's a huge surprise when it happens. You could even register the names before they're born.

Why have stable names at all then? What’s your point?

Does a torrent count? If buying one copy of a book entitles the ai company to train on that data and redistribute information derived from it in perpetuity, then why shouldn’t a rival ai company be allowed to train on tokens from say OpenAI

Elon Musk, for one. Maybe not the same program but came as a j1 student visa then promptly left to work on startups. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/28/us/elon-musk-immigration-wash...

We wouldn’t want someone to work in the US under the guise of a student visa, after all. It’s not like the current richest man in the world didn’t start his journey that way. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/28/us&

At what point did the authors whose books showed up in the ai companies training data sets “give it all away” as you claim?

What was the intent of the original ai companies (anthropic, OpenAI, etc) when they mass-distilled the entire internet to create their training data set?

It’s so out of hand that staff have a euphemism for it. you stand at the counter in front of the Toast POS, tap your card, and … then the phrase … “The system will ask you a few questions”. Bam I’m supposed to tip 25% for standing at a coun

Agreed and it’s more than that. Comprehension, understanding, and validation. It also erodes trust in the person pasting the information. You asked a human for their advice- based on their judgment. If they don’t take the time to validate t
