I think it's a good chance tbh. It would take the S&P down with it too

Commodity futures made sense to me at FedEx- they would pay money with a supplier for the option to buy gas/oil at X price at Y date in the future. It costs more than just agreeing to pay for it at that price in the future, but if deli

That's exactly the naitivity people are calling you out for.

There's a (maybe new?) focus on health in America, and it is tied directly with dollars spent for the most part. If I made $50k more a year, it would disappear down the drain on purchases like lean bison meat instead of fatty ground be

There are so many license types, DoW buys into all sorts.

Here's my take- Anthropic has some contracts with the US government. They want some additional terms put on their next contract (that seem pretty sane). SecWar cries about it, and not only says "no thanks, I'll just go with o

hah, they basically stole a coworkers promotion, then told that person that they put in a good word with the boss about them. So silly, I do wonder who actually interprets it as Sam seems to hope people do.

by scottyah 8mo ago
The government is forcing a company to change their terms of service, and "threatening" to have them effectively shut down. I say threat, because the SecWar issued an illegal command that no employees, or contractors of the federa

We shouldn't be stacking up so many incentives for it to happen though.

Altman must have read a lot of Kissinger. If your brain scans the text quickly it almost seems like it's Anthropic's red line, except the second half completely negates it. Completely untrustworthy IMO, this is a direct, malicious

I don't think you could find a single person working for OpenAI that couldn't find employment elsewhere within a month that pays more than enough for food and shelter. This is a ridiculous statement.

Are you declaring Steve Jobs a God? Did he create all the apps you're addicted to or a wonderful tool that lets you access almost all of humanities history, can connect you with loved ones across the world in real-time, play music, mov

I just prefer shorter, less dramatic cycles. Overregulation also increases accidents, when there's more incentive to ignore them

It is, but it is not optimized for that use case.

Depressingly true.

I'm sure it's negotiations over how the enforcement will be done. My thoughts are: 1. Military wants a whole new model training system because the current models are designed to have these safeguards, and Anthropic can't affo

by scottyah 8mo ago
Why? They clearly are very aligned on the objective, just doing some negotiation regarding the means. Giving up just because you don't agree 100% is not very constructive. This might seem bad for conflict-adverse people who usually are

So anyone who doesn't mind the name going back to DoW is fascist?

by scottyah 8mo ago
That's a separate department, DoE actually controls the nukes.

by scottyah 8mo ago
Doublespeak, so to speak.
411.
by scottyah 8mo ago
True, and that has been going on for awhile now. But what does that have to do with Anthropic's genai chatbots with comparatively tiny context windows?

This is absolutely, in my mind, the opinion that has done the most damage to this country. If people didn't abandon politics that affect them at every level for a celebrity superbowl type show we wouldn't have this circus of Presi

Ok what about the Netherlands, Spain, Nordic countries?

Because it's painfully short-sighted, or maliciously ignorant.

Considering he slept naked with his grandniece (he was in his 70s, she was 17), I'd say there are a lot of them in the corporate world. Though probably more in politics.

Hah, I had the same realization about landmines. Along with the other commenter, really it would be better to add intelligence to these autonomous systems to limit the nastiness of the currently-deployed systems. If a landmine could disting

by scottyah 8mo ago
It's only Anthropic with their current models saying no. Fully autonomous weapons have been created, deployed, and have been operational for a long time already. The only holdout I've ever heard of is for the weapons that target h

If nothing else, the USA has learned that a lot of people outside their borders do not share the same ideas on basic human rights, and most of the world hates when we try to ensure them. Some countries are closely aligned with our ideals an

I should have specified Political Power. There will always be a degree of cooperation, but they should not be so easily exchanged. More checks-and-balances, less winner-takes-all.

It's like the death sentence in CA. The minority who wanted to abolish it couldn't get enough votes, so the actual process was systemically altered until it became too cost-prohibitive. *This is not a post in support of death pena
