They're busy focusing on dumb things of course. ex: * Currently trying to make sure open models are regulated out of existence. * More concerned about preventing distillation than providing actual value.

It'll never get reviewed. They'll distract them with something other piece of news. And don't be shocked if a bunch of California government officials bought a bunch of Goodyear stock right before this.

everything "Meta" does these days annoys the crap out of me. I laugh every time they get slapped around. All we wanted for Facebook was a way to keep up with friends and family, not constant stream of garbage. Instagram was suppos

Such a stupid regulation. Don’t make the rest of the world suffer because of one dumb law passed for a fractional share of users. This also, just another precedent of anti-user, pro Authoritarian, from LLM companies.

Most sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine. With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resi

Right now, the "economic model" of AI is "who has the best model", or really weights. That'll go away eventually, just like operating systems eventually became free. Instead, it's going to come down to selling
