   I don't buy the idea that there's nothing we can do about this with respect to whether we do it at all. I'm happy for Microsoft that they're building out green power infrastructure, but it would be better if that was put

   Oh good, I'm glad Sam Altman, who doesn't even have a bachelor's degree, is on the case. I'm sure his efforts towards cold fusion will be appreciated. > I wasn't aware of this unspoken social contract before Ope

   If society is tech, then people are society. Leadership should be scrutinized more than anyone else in the industry, they are ultimately responsible for setting the direction of the industry in our unfortunately corporate dominated tech sec

   This is going to become a huge problem with state actors attacking what is basically public infrastructure. We should be publicly funding efforts to protect it.

   Yes never discuss technology critically, only grow and make more more more. Never consider the actual impact of your work, simply produce and consume.

   I disagree strongly with this. GPT has: - Precipitated a new class of computationally intense and expensive systems at a time when we desperately need to be focused on sustainability and reducing power demands/increasing efficiency. -

    I mean, that's exactly what LLMs are. In the absence of any real understanding of cognition, we are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what the probabilistic model does with the massive amount of data we give it. A definitive an

    I don't think it's that hard to understand what the hell is going on with LLMs under the hood. Ultimately it's a weighted sample of the training data. It has a relationship with reality insofar as one exists within the traini

    I think the mindset is like, we've done a bunch of development, let's sell it to deliver some value now rather than wait for it to be perfect. It makes sense from that agile manifesto perspective but I miss the days of buying some

    I have a lot of trouble taking this obviously bad faith argument seriously. Aside from the fact that we're comparing random fan artists with well resourced tech corporations that trained on hundreds of millions of images, most rightsho

    I'm not sure AI businesses would be viable if they had to license all the content in addition to paying all the compute costs. But, that really isn't the rightsholders' problem.

    I think the tone is warranted given the scale of the problem. I don't think we should mollify complaints about products that literal billions of people depend on just because they're not nice.

    Most of the arguments I've seen around this bullshit is that the AI is just like a human so it should be able to train on anything it can see. I don't think many understand what you've touched on here, which is that all the c
