I can't read the article due to the paywall, but why is the author worried about this? If there's anybody out there arguing that "AI agents" should be given legal personhood, I imagine they're a pretty small group.

Net debt to GDP is arguably a more important metric. Look at Norway, for example. Presenting it as an indebted nation is hardly the whole picture.

I don't think the public is going to swallow subsidies for the richest companies on Earth so that they can avoid competition. "...A proprietary model that the U.S. government is treating like something just shy of a nuclear weapon

"Prompts and completions are retained by the provider and are not used for training..." I'm curious what the model provider is using the prompt/response pairs for, in that case. They aren't offering a model for free

Yes, they have multiple levels of Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Kimi, but not the other top models (I would put GLM, Qwen, Muse, Grok, and Deepseek in that bucket).

I understand that running these benchmarks can get expensive, but it would be really nice to see AA include more benchmarks of models at reasoning settings other than the maximum, at least for the biggest releases. They have that nice graph

OP here: the title of the thread still links to Derek Lowe's blog post, but the article discussed in the blog post was added to the body of the original post (not by me).

Domnauer is overstating the "little people" effect here. Seeing miniaturized people seems to be only one of several manifestations associated with these mushrooms. This Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w

I think a lot of people are simply glad to see so much viable competition in the LLM space. Given the oligopolistic outcomes in Big Tech over the past couple decades, it would be nice if Big AI turned out differently, even if a lot of those

That seems like a problem orders of magnitude harder than making a humanoid robot. We haven't even figured out how to make hamburgers without cows at a marketable price yet.

I imagine that the perception might be that a judge will approach the case more rationally and technically, whereas the jury might be swayed by sympathy for the victim, biases, etc. To what extent that's true I do not know, but convict

For all but minor offences in Canada, you have the right to a jury trial. Here, the accused elected to be tried by a judge. Most people do.

It shocks me that we use to go to wave pools like these for elementary school trips. They never even asked us if we could swim or not. I was at least a passable swimmer, but even so, it was so crowded that I remember a couple times getting
