And yet here we are a few weeks after that with a free to use model that cost millions to develop and is open to everyone.
I think you’re taking an unwarranted entitled view.
- refulgentis 3y agoI can't parse this: I assume it assumes I assume that a16z could have ensured it wasn't released It's not that, just what it says on the tin: SV elites are not good for SV
- ipaddr 3y agoYou act like this is a gift of charity instead of attempts to stay relevant.
- ianbutler 3y agoWhat? Tell me you don't follow the space. FB AI is one of the top labs..
- refulgentis 3y agoWe're talking about a16z, not Facebook.
- unshavedyak 3y agoThe best charity is one that benefits both parties, no?
- TechBro8615 3y agoThat's just a trade. If we assume "charity" is "altruism," then by definition there must be no benefit to the giver.
- freedomben 3y agoI don't think that's even possible, but if it was it would be a disaster because humans don't work that way. We respond to incentive. When giving to charity, the incentive can be as simple as "I feel good" but it's still an incentive.
- ipaddr 3y agoSome do what's right even if it doesn't feel good. The best charity can be painful.
- freedomben 3y agoDefinitely, but the pain was decided to be worth it because the feeling the person got from doing the thing (or the pain they avoided by doing the thing) was worth it. For example a friend of mine has an adult kid who is homeless. They have tried to help many times but this person keeps falling back into the same things that led to the situation in the first place. The pain of watching your child go through something can be an incentive to help. My friend has helped his son even though my friend isn't well off and experiences financial pain. He's still responding to an incentive (that of not wanting to watch his child suffer) even though he's experiencing pain from it. If a person believes they are doing the right thing, their brain will release dopamine (aka a reward) simply for acting within their belief system. To be clear, I'm not trying to minimize or dismiss people's sacrifices. I still think they are noble
- unshavedyak 3y agoWhat? Pain has nothing to do with this. The positives outweigh the negatives by whatever criteria the giver uses to decide to do the act of giving. This is always true. No? Even self sacrifice, such as jumping in front of a bus, you deem to be the right thing - you chose an action because you believed it was a positive, for you, action. Just because you die doesn't mean you didn't still felt it was right, in that moment. If you do something you do not believe is a positive it changes from charity to masochism. You're doing it to punish yourself. If you're not punishing yourself, you're gaining something (or net neutral, i suppose, but that's difficult to define). edit: Though arguably even punishing yourself is self interest, as if you're punishing yourself it's because you want to.
- ipaddr 3y agoTrue charity lacks a profit motive and/or fame. The worst charity is one that depends on the profits made by the givers to exist.
