The question is how many people get $250k from their family and lose it all. Everyone's life is a mix of skill and luck, so to discredit skill, you would need to quantify the luck. An easy example is a lottery winner, a hard example is

News orgs hardly make any money. There are a few big players, but everyone outside that ring is borderline starving. So the best way to keep money coming in is to read the vibes of social media, and print stories that fuel those fires. Basi

Meta reads the writing on the wall, and is committing to the position that age verification is inevitable and will come down eventually no matter what. Meta, understanding that it will likely be the poster child for social media, knows that

Just a reminder that anyone can file a lawsuit over anything, and the initial complaint is written by lawyers and reads with tabloid levels of sensationalism and allegation. The goal being to maximize the appearance of harm as much as possi

I mean, yeah they could. But what they get back for exporting is more than it is worth to them alone. Taiwan has no use for huge amounts of silicon and Europe has no use for SOTA lithography. I don't see how that is the case with the U

The public will get ~5.5 level models. Private industry will essentially get ITAR access to better models, and other countries will get 5.5 with maybe some select partners getting access. Its totally sensible that the US will keep strong AI

You don't have to buy any American products, and can vote for politicians that want to ban American access to Canadian markets. Countries have been spying on each other (and their citizens) for centuries. Its not hypocrisy so much as r

Just a tip, most modern laundry detergents are formulated to handle washing with cold water to save you from having to use (expensive) hot water in a wash. I have been washing for years now with tap cold water since learning that and it see

It has nothing to do with consumer hostile behaviors. Its bad when a hostile foreign government has control over and information about (think blackmail, not ads) your citizens. A junior engineer on the x-500 future fighter jet drives a pol

The entire article doesn't once stipulate that the grounds for banning a Chinese owned car is having telemetry that phones home to China. Maybe Volvo still does and it's a mystery why they can still sell here. Maybe Volvo doesn&#x

From when this story was posted a few days ago: Ford has hired 350 engineers over the last 3 years which happened alongside short comings in using AI inspection tooling. This has nothing to do with LLMs and instead is almost certainly about

China has a single leader with absolute power. The irony is that the US is currently getting so much flak because it's leader is trying (and failing, EOs only go so far) to become what Xi Jinpeng is to China. So if you want to put all

The US has an open media and the western world internet is a non-stop airing of the US's dirty laundry. China has only state media and little internet overlap with the west. From the POV of your typical western internet denizen, The US

Europe has no tech industry. It's largely floating on the same economy it had 50 years ago. The situation is beyond dire.

Its utterly unsurprising that in the reckoning of pro-socialist society (work less, tax more, live easy), the failure of European industry over the last 30 years, utterly unsurprising that the knee-jerk reaction is "You need to share y

The US and China are in a cold war right now, whether that is fully recognized or not, the fight has already begun. The US is blocking models from getting out of the country and China is blocking researchers from getting out of the country.

Its a existential cold war now between the US and China. There is no standing down until one side wins. Both countries would leverage (or hope to) an ASI to destabilize the other.

People genuinely think that China is just being a bro and has no ulterior motives.

Deeper than that, what to do with a super smart AI has been floating around intellectual circles since the late 00's. Google had been pussy-footing AI research due to deathly fear of awakening an ASI, because their safety teams still h

The technology at hand is essentially a genius in your pocket being given away for $20/mo. I mean yeah, $20 is greater than free, but let's have a least a mild level of honesty here
