I haven't said anything regarding a license - where did you get that from? ISIS, etc. can easily abuse an open-source model and abusing a closed source model running in the cloud, e.g. ChatGPT 4 is a lot harder.

No, they can't - they would have done it if they could. Producing a practical chemical weapon is a complicated task, with many steps that are not documented in publicly available sources.

Don't think this is the biggest danger. In a few years if they continue to improve at the current speed these models can become really dangerous. E.g. an organization like ISIS can feed one some books and papers on chemistry and ask it

IMHO it's the against the EULA to rent a 4090 - and this is why the big cloud platforms don't offer any. But using a 4090 in a company's own datacenter should be fine.

Hmmmm, there were plenty of videos of people with hand luggage outside the plane - surely taking this luggage was against the rules and has slowed down the evacuation. I won't be surprised if TASS is just trying to cover the story. I t

Or maybe in the software business one's reputation costs a lot more than the tiny amount of profit one can make by delaying his contractor's payments.

And what if you do the work and never get payed? Sounds stupid to pay taxes over income one hasn't actually received.

Wonder if it's normal in China to underpay and/or delay payments to contractors - so the Chinese investors just brought their way of working to USA or if there's something else going on.

So Erdogan finally admitted his economic theories of keeping interest rates low are complete garbage. One would think that after years of causing massive damages to the Turkish economy a president should resign, being proven wrong time and

Very interesting article. Given that most of Elon's fortune comes from owning a big share of a car company, I think it's understandable (but unethical) if he uses his huge media influence to sabotage a public transport project. IM

Don't think calling Elon a con artist is fair - he built two of the most important companies of the 21st century.

And the cost of servicing said customers is paid by the same customers. If you're ready to pay double and triple, vote with your wallet - in many industries there are more expensive options available with better customer service.

The fact that one company had a chat bot mis-configured doesn't mean they all are useless. There are a lot of lonely people who call companies just to have a chat with a human. There are a lot of lazy and/or stupid people who call

The situation with the US debt is serious, but the way you present it - as just a matter of China decision to collapse US is not correct. There are very good reasons the vast majority of the world countries, companies and rich people invest
