I'm empathetic to this argument, but it feels like it's doing a disservice to the open source ethos in general. Pragmatic as china is, they may actually see the long term value of being open research leaders to short term profit.

You can use the outputs of a closed source model (or deepseek -> llama. see llama 70b deepseek distilled) to create a synthetic training data set which lets you fine tune (distill) most of the benefits of the "smarter" model in

Everyone is sympathetic to that line of thinking. Most, here at least, have the brain cells to rub together to recognize that the costs of civil rights' absence are greater than the costs incurred by those rights.

You're the one using dramatic imaginations and hyperbolic language to justify unconstitutional searches. If "growing up" means "willfully surrender all your rights to a dubious police force"... consider me a child i

I promise bad things still happen in your city. Do you think drugs stop getting sold when a dealer is picked up? Seems fairly naïve...

Is that the bar necessary to believe systemic change is possible? I'd argue it should be "any slightly more peaceful way than the existing order". Perfect the enemy of good and all that. Or am I missing something?

I agree about the general silliness of most of the "generative" features - I was only contesting that to me, there's a clear difference in the rate of institutional belief/backing and adoption

Has it been shown for o1 conclusively? I'd love to read the paper. I recall that Apple paper about non reasoning due to fuzzed question data causing performance degradation that caught a lot of traction but IIRC o1 had pretty resilien

What evidence do you have to disagree? Reagen's and thatcher's whole agenda can be summed up by: "the biggest lie is 'i'm from the government and I'm here to help'" Have you not paid much attention to

Yeah, I generally agree with that. Why I said it only moved them from stochastic parrot campers to "possible" believers - to clarify, the few I've had test it have all pretty much said "this feels like it could lead to r

Guess we're using different measures of "success" - in my book any govt program that nets more revenue than than it costs taxpayers or provides more value than it costs (harder to verify) (irs and usps respectively, for insta

Thanks for the reading recommendations. Sunkara's manifesto for me is the best put case with the most brevity. I haven't read those, I've mostly read stuff like Piketty and Sunkara, or smaller more focused stuff like Zuboff&#

In my experience o1 is not comparable to any other llm experience. I have had multiple phd friends test it - it's what has turned them from stochastic parrot campers to possible believers and to be clear - as a layman, (in almost every

No, not exactly. If you know someone used cash at one place can you track every cash transaction they've ever made? If you know one bitcoin transaction from a wallet you can track everything that key pair has done from genesis to prese

Perfect comment, it's important to celebrate but more important to keep in mind it's a tiny piece of the public infrastructure and government inertia we need to do this correctly. We need exactly what you describe, and I want to b

Great addition. the massive misallocation of a militarized police is another source to solve these problems. But unfortunately for too long the conservative mindset of "punish the addict" has provided the electoral support that l
