There is a baseline level of competence and motivation needed to commit crimes. Decades ago few people would walk into a record store and steal CDs. Napster came along smashing all barriers entry, and it became weird not to steal music. Its

Society at large is unaware how much crime general laziness and incompetence prevents from happening.

Cerebras is different than what jalapeno is. Jalepeno is for mass scale inference. Cerebras is extremely expensive and difficult to scale, hence the limited release.

We are likely still in the the early days of AI. We're playing with computers circa 1975 talking about how it will impact humanity.

OpenAI fired the starting gun 3.5 years ago before anyone in the industry had a sound safety plan, and not much progress has been made since. So here we are, it's probably going to me messy and err on the side of over-bearing.

On some level though we have to be cognizant of the potential for harm these models have. LLMs are still a little loosey goosey, and we are right on the cusp (if not there already) for an agent to hack a bank and steal money for some rando

You're not wrong, and no one is turning down NASA contracts, but the scale isn't comparable. NASA buys mostly highly specialized parts that can be pretty narrow in scope and utility. OTOH the DoD will buy 150,000 aluminum water ca

The military budget is a jobs program that also keeps a (near bare minimum) level of industrial capacity afloat. Its why no politician left or right is really interested in cutting it. If you browse open contracts, you'll see they that

1. Moderna had a vaccine in January 2020. Its not 1950 anymore where development takes 10 years. Doing faux work to waste time to placate ludite observers who can only equate time to quality is dumb. 2. People have died because they were we

Are you aware that places with poor resources and low/no record keeping have all sorts of crazy statistics? Obviously when doing analysis we wanted to compare solid data with solid data. Not some NGO worker asking the tribal medicine

It's incorrect though. It's not a matter of opinion that populations with higher vaccination rates saw fewer deaths and lower rates of hospitalization.

Interestingly, playing around with this (asking google search "Is Louis Rossman sponsored by ground news?"), it generated a different response each time, and 2/25 times it said he was sponsored. So it seems like Google doesn&

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 their MAIVIS and AiTriz pilots, which use ol

Well they shot down his landmark tariffs for one, and the next court ordered refunds so...I'd be delighted if you could share cases of the government ignoring court orders (not to be confused with challenging them, like any functioning

Please, show me one Chinese court ruling against the CCP and I will believe you. Anthropic can go to court and have the order overturned if it isn't legal (with legality being born from elected representatives), it happens all the time

Ehhh, the darkside is that unions often levelize workers into bins to negotiate fair wages for that bin. This is good if you are a weak player and bad if you are a strong player, because it removes the incentive to work any harder than the

The US government subsidizes US AI labs via incentives. The CCP is the Chinese AI labs. I am not aware of any US government AI labs (besides perhaps a small spattering of national lab research or the like) There is very large difference tha

I think you may be conflating "dominant player(s)" with "monopoly". The US has close to zero monopolies if you disregard natural/patent/IP monopolies. Its not illegal to have a product that consumers overwhelmi

It's more dependent on the specific country they are in (and I don't know the specifics). But Google is large enough to have lawyers for every country, and Google is in a never ending whirlwind of national lawsuits/fines, so

There is a strange and bittersweet irony to the first truly impactful AI being more like your extroverted socialite and less like your robo-logical basement geek. The trope has always been that the AI will be a rigid logician that fumbles a
