Ok - but the post I was responding to was suggesting we do the opposite and provide the intelligence to the people so I’m not sure how your reply rebuts my suggestions.

It’s a fair point. Definitely depends on the how. I was figuring that adding $500B to a hot part of the economy while the rest of the economy shrinks might nudge a bit toward inflationary tendency, but at this point it’s hard to say what te

If they’re effectively guaranteeing $500B in loans that adds close to $500B to M1, basically, that banks were not otherwise providing or loaning - at least that was my calculation.

It would also follow that by increasing the money supply significantly they’re also contributing to inflation a great deal correct? (Given the rest of the economy is not growing at near the same rate as the AI industry)

Can we build level IV AI containment labs?

That last part was never important. Trading partners very rarely go to war. There just isn’t much in it for either party. Close cooperation and dependency is actually quite important here - liberal democracy or no.

Not sure you can judge a PBC under those same umbrella as a for profit company, and voting rights make a big difference in terms of responsibility. There are a number of ways to govern companies that can reduce the amount of cynicism and “s

Sorry boss but this ain’t it. I don’t think the answer to nuclear proliferation is to let everybody have all the nukes they want. You’re framing this like it’s 1917, or 1945. But it is not - and likely has very little to do with capital at

Somebody has probably already asked this, but even if “democratic countries” do this - rogue actors will still destroy the internet right? Is it a matter of resources at this point that we believe China and others are not capable of harness

I hear you, and I've been in similar places. I don't know you, but I would encourage you talk to a professional about these thoughts as soon as possible. This isn't a judgment, not trying to cut you out - it's just been

You're telling me the DA would press charges without the actual harmed party wanting to press charges? I suppose it's possible but kinda hard without an actual plaintiff.

They already have a multi 100 billion dollar slush fund from Congress. If they’re doing it for the money then things have really gotten out of hand with internal DHS budgets.

The author goes through this in great detail with some humility in the FAQ. It’s rich, yes. And the author acknowledges that. Still a cool build!

Do you think their new owners will want to engage in an extended legal battle with a large customer?

My assumption was that engineers were building an AI system to do this, not that they only made PRs from tickets - but I could be wrong.

My assumption was that a settlement would be part of the “cost of doing business in the USA” so they’d pay up to keep importing their products legally rather than lose the market - but you know what they say about assumptions…

We use a SaaS provider for our HOA and it works well, but there is a monthly / annual cost for that. That said, people still insist on posting to Facebook but the group can easily turn to poison and sniping which is super awesome for b

Yeah sometimes the ubiquity of access and familiarity for HOAs and smaller community orgs make that gravity too strong. Mostly I was thinking about tech folks and AI news that seems to go out on Twitter most of the time.

Correct. The people that don’t like the EPA appointed their friends who also don’t like the EPA to run the EPA. This is the playbook generally - PE vulturism, but for government agencies. And to their credit it kinda works. Just… not for ci

Do the octogenarians in power not remember when they couldn’t breathe because of the lead in the gas in the 60s and the lack of emissions controls on everything? Do they yearn for the mines and coal dust of early industrial England? Everybo

This is good, generally, for government overstepping especially in the case of targeted domestic restrictions (and what amounts to anti-competitive blackmail in my opinion) BUT! The judge’s opinion that “The empty invocation of national se

You’ve found the smoking foot gun! And that’s exactly the right question.

Why not foster a dog instead? I have enough things to take care of in my life through training and reinforcement learning, but if you don’t - this might be for you! :)

It’s all fine until the entire community you’re trying to participate in decides Twitter is the place to post things. ahem Would be great if we maybe chose someplace else to do this as a community… but I guess the eyeballs are there and t

There’s just no preparing for that kind of power being unleashed. Holy hell. :/

I would imagine any settlement dollars would be enough of a carrot to get a lawyer involved. Has anyone actually sued over this yet?

“Temporary emergency” should always be considered skeptically - especially when it comes to government. They almost always stay permanent.

Yes. Predictability is extremely important for markets and planning and general welfare. He doesn’t have to randomly declare things on a Thursday that haven’t changed for decades and create anxiety among (you name it community or industry)
