Alignment research was always, at best, security theatre.

I'm just sad that this whole thing is destroying tech's reputation. Every time I see an engineer give into this marketing nonsense it makes me fear for the future of our field. I get that people are worried about becoming irreleva

Hey guys I found one, this guy thinks Machine Jesus is going to save him. I'm trying to figure out if my advice to you should be to do more drugs or less. I am uncertain, perhaps I'll ask an AI.

This is proof that America has forgot it's own history. America was founded by men who hated intellectual property, who stole and smuggled the plans and expertise for textile machinery out of the United Kingdom. A gross intellectual pr

A lot more people are working on it than I expected there to be. It's the one time where the European Union's inability to advertise what they're doing is paying off in their favor. Then again, good, the operation of governme

Yes, I'm aware of the rest of it, I just didn't feel it particularly relevant to the discussion. Yes, I'm with you. I'm grateful that most of the news I hear about this is relatively positive. I'm actually kind of i

This already happened. The US government cut off a judge at the international criminal court from her Office365 account because she was pressing a war crimes case against Benjamin Netanyahu. It's the reason why in the last year you&#x2

Honestly, as a European, I am okay with this. I want the US tech community to continue thinking of us as some sort of technological backwater. Ridiculing and deriding us, so they never see as any place where they are welcome. Since given th

I came here to find someone saying this. I swear we are heading toward McKenna's Peak Novelty in this timeline.

I mainly use AI for learning things these days. The biggest bottleneck is always providing the machine with your context in sufficient detail that it can understand how to help you. When learning a topic it isn't always clear cut on ho

Because there aren't any actual good guys in this story. There is one group that is taking short term gains, and another group that feels rejecting this will lead to long term gains. Neither one of them gives any shits about the use of

Yeah, this is a public relations effort. Corporations, especially ones that have spent an obscene amount of money on AI companies aren't going to change their direction. They have to justify that spending to their shareholders.

Windows 10 is my last Microsoft Windows operating system. Between the fact that I had to turn of TPM in the bios so that I wouldn't wake up one day turn on my computer and see Windows 11. The massive bugs that prevent things like power

This is why I give cash to delivery drivers. No I will not tip in app, that is obviously a scam.

American has not had functional anti-trust laws for the better part of the last 40 years. The current climate is just a peak.

Whenever I read anything like this, I am reminded that everyone should see Adam Curtis' "The Century of Self" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoMi95tfgP4 ) which is about how Sigmund Freud's nephew creat

It's a tactic, agree to the deal, the US ignores us. Allow the deal to get destroyed in parliament and the courts and it has no effect. The deal was a means by which to get enough time to figure out the correct response. We've bee

This was all an EU tactic, we do it a lot. Agree to the deal, Trump shuts up and ignores us, destroy the deal in the courts, no real effect of the deal.

This is silly. Regulation exists to help balance out the power disparity between consumers and corporations that sell AI. The EU wrote a good AI law, it's mainly focused on access to goods and services and the impact that AI can have i

They recognise that the larger bubble is in the datacenters. Most of the hardware we are using was designed for computer graphics not AI. Now that China isn't buying Nvidia any longer and actively trying to get their own companies to p

Large entities aside, I would use this to mark my own generated content. Would be even more helpful if you could get the LLM to recognise it which would allow you to prevent ouroboros situations. Also, no one is reading your resume anymore

This is exactly why I didn't buy an Amazon product as an eink reader. I want control over the things I own, I don't want them to exist locked up in a walled system where corporations can yank my ownership of something I paid for w

No, I don't think so. I think most of the work done in AI here is focused on current applications of AI not on the development of new AI.

But they don't want to do that. They want to use AI in their hiring process. They want to be able to offload their work and biases to the machine. They just don't want other people to do it. There's a reason that the EU AI le

This is why we need stronger consumer watchdog groups that can combat this kind of behavior by the corpos.

Neat, thanks for this, I enjoyed this viewpoint as it might help systems like this actually be able to build something reasonable.
