The efficiency downside doesn't even appear to be a downside. We already have solar excess power when we don't need it. If you can store that power and store it cheap, 80 percent efficiency is better than zero. I hope these pan

With sanctions against Russia the US is actually doing the opposite. Forcing them not to use the USD.

No idea at that point. If the code had a license that forbid reupload you could ask GitHub to remove it. Otherwise that's the price of open source, you don't get to choose.

> Your definition of "sentience" appears to be "optimization" My definition of sentience was given in my comment. It isn't optimization, it's: * Self awareness. Some level of ability to understand what you

This is a copy paste, but I want to bring it up every stupid time someone mentions this topic of AI sentience. I actually think that sentient AI are all over the place already. Every single learning machine is sentient. That learning bit is

Ideally, neither would have much data on me. But in terms of potential harm, unquestionably China, unless I'm actively breaking US law. My hostilities with the United States government are an edge case, a risk to be managed. The gover

This guy was actually announced before city skylines and after SimCity, it was reaction to the city genre dying and paradox beat them to the punch. Unfortunate, but it died for good reason.

It would be the researchers working on the original network, setting biases, seeing what data works, who were exposed to the "real deal".

Everything that can learn is sentient, or self aware, in some form. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be able to learn. If you don't understand yourself and how your decisions interact with the world around you, learning is impossib

If it's the entire team or not doesn't really matter, what matters is is that the locus of control, the people who really own the project and commit most of the changes are all based in China. But you are correct, they do get comm

All you need to do is sneak in something in an update that gives people access to your server, or creates a vulnerability that allows them to get access. The fact that itself hosted is actually a really huge concern, because this thing is s

It's not so much about the issues, but the potential for issues down the line. For tools like this the aim is always to lay low and expand to reach as far as possible, then once you have a lot of control and trust you can abuse it, oft

It would be generally be a good idea to migrate away from this to something else, I use gitbucket, and it works very well for me. Yes it is an open source project, but the entire team that works on it is based out in China, and that's
