Consider two propositions: P1. AI is useful powerful and (P1a) will continue to get more useful and powerful at the same rapid pace it's been improving 2. AI companies are very profitable, and (P2a) will be wildly profitable (eg $30T T

Seems like a difficult thing to enforce. Presumably not impossible to make some progress tho.

Or maybe they weren't allowed to do anything effective. I don't know why you give OpenAI such a big benefit of the doubt.

I think this way is better. As I said it doesn't really have a downside (IMHO), and if I'm wrong Anthropic could implement a defense against what you're describing pretty easily.

It's completely pointless without an API, unless you're thinking the API should be private or restricted. The public needs some way of identifying the watermark. > anybody who wants to avoid detection can just They can just use

It's possible that the official process is a bad one and needs reform. But that's really not Amazon's fault, and it would be super weird for them to set up a bunch of additional hoops for themselves to jump through. Also not

From a moral perspective I don't think it is. From a more practical perspective... It's only tiny biotechs where the share price exactly tracks a single clinical trial. This opens up ways to make more specific bets

True, but is there any reason to think this dishonesty varies over time? The trend could be informative even if the raw numbers are nonsense

I understand your point but it's funny to use AI as an example since a big benefit is it's generality. It's mediocre at many things but the fact that you can just use one tool and get passable results across many domains make

Lol. You don't even need AI for that 99% boiler plate. Save 6-12 months of expenses in cash, DCA the rest into total market stock index funds. But people still pay expensive advisors to get worse results.

Also the reason we fund science publicly is because we can't count on the incentives from the free market. I mean why would they share information with competitors?
