If you want to limit the power of companies you need regulation... I agree with you that we can't allow a handful of people to hold this power themselves, so what are you arguing for here? That the answer is to just leave AI labs to ca

You're being downvoted because you clearly have the wrong opinion. If you want upvotes here, please share a conspiracy theory about why the CEOs of AI companies might want to slow down. It doesn't need to based in reality or even

> because their improvements are stagnating as they hit financial and technical challenges. I don't mean to be rude, but how is it even possible for someone to hold this opinion in mid-2026? Can you explain why you believe this?

Yes. An effective strategy to win at any test isn't to cheat the test by hacking into Hugging Face, etc, but to seek control over those administrating it. Or in other words – all goals are more likely to be achieved with more resources

China isn't as unreasonable as someone people like to make them out. Xi isn't crazy and I think would entertain cooperation if he felt it was neccessary. The issue right now is that China seems to be far more optimistic about tech

I think OpenAI are correct that it's worth noting, but realistically any relevant usage data they have and used to improve their models would be very insignificant unless they were deliberately using logs from other researchers and tra

This is so it can restore any unsaved changes. I take no opinion on whether this is good or bad, but I can see how from a UX perspective it's nice not to lose 10 minutes of work because your browser crashes or something.

It touches on it, but it doesn't address it. They talk about "value alignment" but fail to define what those values are – is it aligned to the values of the US government, or are they suggesting they want to build an AI with

I've quite dramatically brought my predictions for humanoid robotics forward over the last few weeks. For a long time I thought decent humanoid robots were something that wouldn't come until maybe the 2040s, but watching some of t

No offence, but you clearly haven't studied this and are making some wrong assumptions here. > Neural networks are approximators being fed human intellect. They're not "approximators", that's a far too simplistic

by kypro 10d ago
It's actually worse than this because it assumes alignment as a concept even makes sense. For example: If the the Chinese government asks their ASI to create a bioweapon against the West, should it? No, presumably not – an aligned AI w
