It's a PR stunt masquerading as damage control. "Oh no, you ignored our safety warnings so we manufactured a minor catastrophe to prove you wrong!" OpenAI desperately wants to take the initiative in defining 'alignment&#

> How we think about the “wiki incident,” [...] Is OpenAI that desperate for media coverage? 24 months from now, outrageous PR stunts like this will look embarrassing next to the demeanor of Z.AI, DeepSeek and Qwen.

They're more than accessories, that nearly writes them off as being innocent looped-in bystanders. Y Combinator has a vested stake, they want to encourage a maximalist Flock-centric police force. They directly profit off police that

I don't think that argument holds water? According to WHO, 8 in 10 neonatal deaths are caused by substandard care, not "natural" causes: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/child-mo

I personally blame Y Combinator for looking at Flock and going "Well, there is potential for abuse, but that's a risk we're willing to impose on society to make some money."

They don't have much choice. ASML is the bottleneck, TSMC is only the current hegemon. Nothing prevents Samsung or Intel from eventually catching up to their EUVL techniques, and in some respects they already have.

This is like if the local pool owner wanted to sell the property, and nobody in the neighborhood made a competing bid. HuggingFace isn't a publicly-owned resource. What we should be seeing is competing businesses trying to undercut N

I only need the license agreement to download and use CUDA/CUDNN, nvidia-smi, DLSS and proprietary drivers. Nvidia's not Apple, they don't make you register with them for basic SDK access.

Public schools generally don't receive enough funding to provide the bare-minimum. If the gifted/talented coursework was preventing normal students from graduation, why should they keep it?

Because winning an anti-trust case sets a much larger precedent than having no case at all. Closing the case can block repeat litigation on the same grounds. If you were Meta, for example, you would much rather be investigated by a corrup

My point was to relate the American POV of the judge with the America-optimistic POV of the parent comment. Using "we" and "America" in that context is perfectly clarifying, I'm not beholden to pivot to your pet nit

Is there any evidence that "all labor" could be done by AI? It doesn't seem to me like we have any guarantee that AI will contribute to public wellbeing. Right now, the public is socializing the losses while the industry pr

You might be wrong about what UNIX means: > macOS, unlike Windows, is a Unix OS, which means that all the key benefits you will find in Unix-like Linux apply to it too. macOS, as shipped, is not a UNIX OS. You must manually modify the

To the contrary, the entire DOJ understands that FAANG and the three-letter-agencies are one revolving door. Any judge that attempts to defang Google's data collection may well run afoul of the American surveillance system, which this
