Sign me up for non-profit AI. I'm a strong advocate for a united effort to create a training set of the collected works of mankind free to any AI company to use if, for instance, it uses its profits to fund UBI, or some other program t

I hear what you're saying, but The Guardian does have an opinion section this could have been printed in, but they chose to print it in Tech. The UX in Firefox for me, I could barely tell it was even in the Tech section, because the fo

This is an opinion piece published to the News section of The Guardian. Interesting. I don't see any how for-profit AI is a threat to anything but for-profit art. However, I do know that printing opinion pieces as news is definitely a

My friend uses Oko on iOS to tell her when the walk light is on, and when the numbers are counting down. There is also a navigation aid that she doesn't quite feel comfortable using yet, but I will say the Oko app being able to tell he

I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are referring to, but Anthropic has done a lot of interpretability work on Claude, which they’ve published along with the famous "Golden Gate Claude".^1 "We also find more abstract fea

The US had a president for eight years who was re-elected on his ability to act on his “gut reaction”s. Not saying this is ideal, just that it isn’t the showstopper you present it as. In fact, when people talk about “human values”, it might

Sometimes it seems as if convenience and price are the technologies that are at the top of the list of consumers in the US market, and that other considerations come in a distant third. We seem to pay little attention to our collective good

Right. At my school, the accessibility option for tests is to give us more time. A three hour test would be made "accessible" by extending it to six hours or even more. I was really hoping AI would make our world more accessible,

I'm having fun with this visual editor for LLM scripts. It's almost like Hypercard for LLMs. On my 16GB MacBook Air, I did not have to set the OLLAMA_ORIGINS env variable. Maybe I did that a long time ago, as I have a previous Oll

There is considerable proof in the public record for just such a belief. "The logic of humanitarian military intervention gained force in the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union, “the unipolar moment” of American dominance, and af

Comments here are useful and on point for 20-30-year-olds. Pot makes boredom less boring, and that's probably not an ideal outcome for a young person. With any luck, y'all are going to be 60 someday, or 80, and pot making boredom

Marcus has a good point when he says that the scaling will only benefit in a logarithmic way, not in a linear way. I watched the Sora video as well and in the Q&A session, they admit that they will need a lot of data. Marcus' conte
