However if you are playing for the regulatory capture route (which Sam Altman seems to be angling for) it’s much easier if your name is “OpenAI”.

When the time for making money comes, if you don’t think OpenAI will sell every drop of information they have on you, then you are incredibly naive. Why would they leave money on the table when everyone else has been doing it for forever wi

I think it’s less of a 2D structure and more of a tree structure that you are describing. I’ve also felt the need of having “threads” with ChatGPT that I wish I could follow.

“Government” isn’t a magical boogeyman coming out of a magical swamp to make magical laws. It’s literally NIMBYs, which are largely current property holders which are also in large part landlords. They’re playing the game to the full extent

Why would you rent for 50K if you can rent for 100K? Are you an economically irrational actor? Same applies for landlord who could either undercut the competition or join the “app” (aka collusion ring) to make higher profit.

> With housing it's more flexible: you can commute longer each day. You can just not move to a city where you know the "salary/cost of living" is not working in your favor. You can also time these decisions: go to NYC

So our choice is to either legally discourage rent seeking behavior in certain necessary parts of our life (health, housing, education) OR “live in a van… don’t go to a doctor … go to community college” just so the overlords could keep maki

Think logically for one more second. Very similar logic applies for health insurance/cost of college/rent, because those are “unavoidable” in some ways if you want to live (with dignity, because homeless people are still alive I g

Market determines rent the same way market determines the cost of health insurance: people need a place to live the same way they need a doctor when they’re sick. If all the landlords are using collusion software to raise rent in tandem [0]

I think the flawed assumption there is thinking management is there for the good of the company. In my experience, much of the time management is there for the good of itself, and when it’s good for the company it’s mostly a byproduct. Just

Automatic != hidden. Painless != hidden. The fact that you want to cause extra pain to those who can't pay big money lawyers to simply make a point says more about your political leanings than anything else in this comment.

For those unaware, OpenAI recently announced [0] an API change where they said their newer models are using Matryoshka representation learning for shortening embeddings. Basically you can use a shorter prefix of the full representation to d

This is the same "I can fix twitter search in an internship" George Hotz, who then gave up and ran away before half of his internship was over? When would we be ready to admit that being a world-leading expert in one area (jailbre

I haven’t checked the proof yet, but could it be possible that it’s using directed angles? Threw me off initially when I first learned it as well, but it can be handy for different configurations.

I assume OP means social skill in the sense of “skill with society as the instrument/playground” rather than “skills that benefit social bond”. Same way as a 10x dev at a nonprofit and a Russian hacker can both have “computer skills” w

As a current AI researchers, my opinion is while AI may surpass the average human soon (if not already) in a game of 9s humans are always better. So I wouldn’t trust a system with 0 humans in it for failsafe.

Ah I am sorry, seems like a comment was posted later (Jan 9th) providing a justification of their criteria. However, the reply comment it was posted on wasn't there when I first read the article and the comments on Jan 8th.
