Even before AI could write them, more slop books written by humans were added to Amazon each day than a human being could possibly read before the next day (probably by a few orders of magnitude at least). Don't just create original wo

Wait, sorry, what, Matt has an outright majority of the (voting) shares? That changes everything, he can just fire the board members, he's the actual boss (as shareholder) even when he's also their employee (as CEO).

It's possible for a dog to do that and for it not to be negligence on the part of the owner. Things happen: brain tumors, neurological issues, or even early training (perhaps not on the part of the current owner) that reinforces not gi

If the board can show they fired him and he's now accessing their systems without authorization, I don't think it's a civil matter, and criminal courts might move faster.

I don't think that applies to Slack admin access.

This is why Sam Altman is in charge at OpenAI and not the board members that tried to fire him.

I guess you haven't tried Fable or Astra yet for a complex task that would require intelligence.

I'm sorry but no, you should not get life in prison if your dog kills your baby without warning. In that horrible scenario, it's punishment enough that you've lost your baby and that your dog did it (and consequently you&#x27

Everyone loves their children. Not everyone believes p(doom) is higher for AI than for other things we already use like nuclear power, or for that matter, fossil fuels.

It's been a while now that for "thinking" or "reasoning" models, most of the tokens generated are "thinking" tokens, and depending on what goes into that "thinking" token stream, it "decides

Seems obvious to me, though, that you can't beat China by pausing when they don't, and China is not likely to coordinate.

The argument seems to be: * Destroy the free internet in the US, ban VPNs in the US, assume enforcement of this is effective, ban frontier AI development in the US (probably needs at least one constitutional amendment) * Assume no other cou

But "sentient" does not mean the same thing as "human". It can be a property of other things, the way "flight" can be.

I ... need to get out of my evidence-based bubble in which I'm observing real non-technical users in the real world? This is not a discourse bubble. I'm not getting my talking points from other people. I'm drawing conclusions

Huh, TIL "engram" is not just an alternate spelling of "n-gram".

You don't need a backend. You don't even need a static site generator. Just sit a non-technical person in front of Claude Code and tell them to tell the computer what they want (including what the content should say). For somethin

I think you've got it backwards. The people arguing Claude can't be sentient because it's not human are arguing that a plane can't fly because it's not a bird.

There's a solution to this problem, and that solution is workers unionizing.

He's not "asking for a coauthor from Anthropic"; he already has a coauthor, who he's already been collaborating with, who happens to also be employed by Anthropic (but whose research in this area is not done as part of t

It would also help incentivize real improved use of expensive property, and less speculative investment without improvement, perhaps leading to lower prices (thus lower land value, and lower taxes), perhaps reaching some kind of equilibrium

Many open weight models do actually have open training data and training algorithms -- I think especially some from Nvidia!

by reverius42 1mo ago
Because making new AI models is a research activity, so the group within Nvidia (or other companies) that does that activity is called a research lab, or just "lab" for short. I don't think anyone is saying that all of Nvidia

Disagree, I think we do in fact have to treat AI models as capricious genies, at least until the alignment problem is fully solved. (I'm also not sure the alignment problem is even possible to fully solve.)
