if a model fails the test, you don't give the public access. you let the government have it for 10-100x the usual token cost of course!

Given his approximate Trillionaire status, this is just what every vending machine doing income-based algorithmic pricing should charge him for EVERY bottle of water.

wow if they're that crucial, but economically nonviable, we should probably just nationalize them and fund the superproject with taxes, then put the results into the public domain!

I think the problem is that "make them build responsibly" has the same outcome as "ban altogether" while being more effort on both sides. It's too much easier and cheaper to drive one town over and bribe a local pol

I can't imagine Moonshot have found a way to completely bypass the subscription or api billing either. So those model outputs have been paid for! No theft of any kind! At most they'd be getting more out of distributed use of subsi

I _love_ buying a used book and finding a previous reader's notes in the margins. It's the greatest. A tiny glimpse into a stranger's thinking as they processed the same pages I just did. Thoughts they may never have shared a

Stealing on behalf of the poor versus stealing on behalf of the rich. We barely consider the latter a crime. Just pay 10% of your take back into the settlement fund and don't get caught next time.

Yeah, if a human didn't write it, I might as well have generated it myself. And it'll be better tailored to the information I'm seeking. I actually still REALLY value the human authorship though. Not for any sweat and blood n

In general people always seem to want documentation, so they can pull it up exactly when they need it, but will do anything to avoid actually having to read it until that singular moment. The number of meetings where I can answer all the ot

Hilariously, I've been finding accidentally poisoning the well with LLM SEO like this works really well at my day job! I have a toy project that replaces a large part of our systems (disclosure: VR/AR @Meta), so that I can learn b

Yup. Model capabilities seem to keep converging quickly, not leaders breaking away for long. Frontier labs are racing towards SaaS commoditization at incredible speed. And while there might possibly be $Trillions in productivity gained from

I love this for the popular sci-fi trope too, where you see some ship engineer swap one glowing crystal "compute core" for another. We could have the photonic AI model ASICs for real!

"Greasing the wheels" seems right in principle, but possibly putting the accelerant factor a bit... mildly. Like going from burning the turkey in the oven, to deep frying and burning your whole house down. > cybercrime losses a

The DC3 gap is interesting. I wonder whether they deprecated it because the other EU server had plenty of capacity, or still keep it but only for... "special" account data flow. Also, it looks like it's easy enough to ID your

It is rare to be able to find a career that satisfies more than one or two quadrants of "Ikigai" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai) That is: • what you can be paid for • what you are good at • what the world needs • what you

Did the HOA Flock cams provide evidence for arrests? How did they help? Or was this a case where a fake camera to scare people off may have been equivalent, Wile E Coyote style?

Directly equivalent to having outsourced it to a shop of remote consultants where you remained as onshore lead. And in all those past cases we would have said "No."

Technically I think there IS another org struct that helps, but it's impractical for a number of Big Corp reasons. A broad studio-like portfolio, where you mostly stay hands-off and willing to burn a ton of money in directions that won
