I think he's saying fishing for evidence is not "policing", since fishing for evidence is illegal, and therefore not within the bounds of the job.

It's not energy costs. The US produces about 70% more electricity per capita. Chinese households do pay less than half what US households pay for electricity, but that's because the NDRC sets prices below costs for households. The

Anthropic already banned xAI for very similar ToS violations earlier this year: https://x.com/kyliebytes/status/2009686466746822731?s=46 So this is OpenAI following suit after Musk admitted to distilling their mod

If it's truly necessary, the fact that it's unfilled would be directly related to it being low paid. And if the employer isn't willing to pay the cost of labor to fill the position, it directly raises the question of whether

US bans are based on the incorrect idea that we have control over AI. But the ban only reduces the most advanced model available from US companies. Models from other countries continue development. It's as if the US decided to hit paus

If that happens it'll be an absolute disaster. Imagine a scenario where Anthropic and OpenAI prohibit most US companies from using their latest models because of safety.. And meanwhile attackers use equivalent open source models to att

Im not worried about this at all. The OpenAI, Anthropic and the US government can play this game all they want... They're just accelerating the development of open source models; and helping destroy the lead the US has built in AI, and

300k tokens--the useable context window of a single agent--is about 40k lines of code and you can't figure out a natural breakpoint within that code to divide up the task?

by rgbrenner 4mo ago
ok "series of context windows spread across many agents".. sure much clearer. Doesn't change my point: the amount of code the agent can operate on is very large, if not unlimited, as long as you put even a little bit of thoug

300k-400k isn’t the current limit if you create modules and/or organize the code reasonably.. for the same reason we do this for humans: it allows us to interact with a component without loading the internals into out context. you can
