I imagine that it could still look cool if it were shaped/tapered in just the right way, maybe somewhere between that of a Sphynx cat and a lizard.

Right, like the other commenter suggested, that's an infrastructure-level thing, not a model-level thing. Given that you're talking about ChatGPT, I assume you aren't accessing GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 directly through the API but us

How would you know it's warrantless without further time investment? It's likely cheaper and safer to blindly process any subpoena originating from an authoritative source than to request and validate proof of warrant. Of course,

Processing warrantless subpoenas costs time and money. Given that we're talking about fairly rational megacorporations, though, it's likely they've already decided that the legal battle would cost more.

My take becomes a lot more interesting when you consider that only 77 million Americans own land[1] while more than double that number, 158 million, own stocks[2] (and millions more own other elastic liquid assets). Yes, it's a wildly

Maybe I'm getting my terms mixed up, but wealth includes anything with value, no? So long as somebody else wants to develop that land, or mine that gold, or tap that oil, it is wealth. At least, that's my understanding.

Charlie Munger achieved the vast majority of his wealth not by hoarding inelastic goods but by investing and reinvesting in dividend-paying stocks and bonds, virtual tokens representing liquid fractional ownership of productive enterprise.
