I had been pondering about doing more or less the same thing for 6502 (6510). It was always the dilemma of whether to pull the CPU out of a C64 and replace it like this, do it as a bus mastering cartridge, or replace the RAM. I have been le

That's interesting, I'm sure when I read the article it didn't specifically attribute those claims to Amodei. To be frank, While I tend to think that Dario has good intentions, I'm not so sure about his judgement. He

To what extent do you feel the harness contributes relative to the model? To put another way, how much inferior can the model be with a superior harness to achieve a similar result?

Perhaps that is some of the problem. That is not what a sociopath is. There are specific criteria, and while it may come as a shock to some, there are ethical sociopaths out there. They do the right thing not because they feel it to be

From time to time I have been accused of being an apologist for Sam Altman, but I have always tried to assess information based upon what it says instead of whether it matches an existing narrative. You list a number of distortions in you

Well if you have a 512x512 icon uncompressed it is an even megabyte, so that makes the calculations fairly easy. But raw imagery is one of the few cases where you can legitimately require large amounts of RAM because of the squaring nature

That is dependent upon the quality of the AI. The argument is not about the quality of the components but the method used. It's trivial to say using an inadequate tool will have an inadequate result. It's only an interesting clai

The problem I see with this argument is that the ship sailed on understanding what you are doing years ago. It seems like it is abstraction layers all the way down. If an AI is capable of producing an elegant solution with fewer levels of

This seems premature. This requires an assumption of actions that might be performed if a condition in the future is met. That is not a solid basis for a lawsuit.
