They could move the HQ without changing where they are incorporated. They also don’t need political support. It’s not a democracy. There are no steps.

Yes, this is a real and serious concern that AI researchers have.

Humans don't improve by "thinking." They improve my natural selection against a fitness function. If that fitness function is "doing better at math" then over a long time perhaps humans will get better at math. Thes

It's trivial to build synthetic reasoning datasets, likely even in natural languages. This is a well established technique that works (e.g. see Microsoft Phi, among others). I said generally because there are things like adversarial tr

The training techniques are a breakthrough no matter what data is used. It's not up for debate, it's an empirical question with a concrete answer. They can and did train orders of magnitude faster.

I've recently cancelled my Github Copilot subscription and now use Mistral. When the US starts threatening allies with tariffs or invasion, using US services becomes a major business risk.

That's not correct. First of all, training off of data generated by another AI is generally a bad idea because you'll end up with a strictly less accurate model (usually). But secondly, and more to your point, even if you were to

The facts are that AI has been driven by PhD level research. There are vanishingly few cases of people who have not studied the area in depth making serious contributions. The term "AI founder" is usually used to reference the peo

Altman is not an AI founder. He's a business owner and investor. He doesn't even have an undergrad degree! The actual AI founders are the ones building the tech, and OpenAI has chased many of them away.

For a banned topic I sure saw tons of posts and discussion about it.

It wasn't forbidden, it lacked evidence, which it still does, even under this highly biased new administration.

The biggest irony in this is that apparently the lesson the current US government learned was "let's cancel all the fire stations and fire all the fire fighters!"

The issue is about whether the animal is forced to endure pain, not weather we eat it or not. The same is true for how we keep the animals we eat, and why people are rightfully upset about how some cows and chickens and the like are kept du

I personally use it to mean "there is bad news in the world and I'm obsessively watching it hoping for some glimmer of good news." If I use too much social media I just say literally that, too much social media.

"Shut down in the US" not shut down everywhere, if I'm not mistaken. It also doesn't seem like an obvious violation of their fiduciary duty. The eventual growth in all other jurisdictions could easily be claimed to be wo

It seems that a lot of people today have a really difficult time understanding that free speech does not mean you get to follow someone around yelling at them, you don't get to come into their home, follow them to the bar they go to wi

There are a number of things I don't like about mastodon. 1. The platform is outright hostile to discovery. You generally can't even index posts in a search engine. This is not what I want, at all. 2. Moderation is awful. Letting

Yes, which is wonderful as new alternatives would grow. It's not like this stuff is rocket science, it's pretty trivial to build.

Every country on earth "has the capacity" to build alternative social networks. They just don't because the need hasn't become obvious enough yet.

China and Russia and others like them are definitely way ahead. And the way I see this going is that countries take their digital borders far more seriously in the future. The era of the open internet is gone, and I don't particularly

The mistake is in thinking that there is no need for an American (or Canadian, or EU) firewall. The reality is that either due to corruption or naivety, western countries let foreign information attacks and foreign propaganda spreads comple

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the constitution only applies to American citizens, not corporations, and certainly not foreign citizens.

This is a great argument for the rest of us banning nearly all US social media tech from our countries. Frankly I'd support it given the new US government.

This is my experience with all javascript stuff these days. If you leave the codebase even for a few months now you're spending days updating it to all the new breaking library changes. Worse, if your tooling is out of date you're

I use some gen-AI, but not Google's. This is very clearly a case of them not getting the gen-AI sales they want, so they are now simply forcing you to pay for it even if you won't use it. It's gross, and precisely the problem

It's hard to take him seriously when he claims X doesn't censor, despite their very blatant and open censorship. Hacker news has not gotten anti-pg, it's more that pg has become more vocally political and is now facing the co

Yes! I like to use the term "fair speech" for this concept. Free speech is that you are free from government retribution. But fair speech means that you also have equal opportunity to speak as others. As you said, if person A can

I think the more glaring thing is that Musk has indeed directly censored twitter. Saying cis results in an auto-ban for example. But he's also just blatantly censored people for disagreeing with him. Also, in a time when the next presi
