Why do people still bother with meta and others? In my community (outside USA), we use local websites and posted bills. There's no magic to it. >Network effects If people decide the cost/effort is too high, that will dissipate.

The "someone will" arguments never work for me. I live in a community (outside USA) where it is common to advertise offline or alternative outlets. There's no dependence "because others do". That is just defeatism.

On the naming issue with a "UTF-8" prefix, I suggest "UTF+8" which puns earlier in the string for a double effect. Fun paper!

What is the consensus among experts?

They're also quite particular on keeping weights private and preventing distillation (or really, any open weight models).

This, despite the ongoing social litigation of if this is even real? I believe AI is quite capable in the right circumstances, but I'm not convinced "this" is the watershed moment.

I see a lot of Self-driving cars hitting people vs. reckless drivers hitting people. What I want is simple: accountability. If a human hits a human, we throw the book at them in the case of a modality of negligence. If a robot screws up, ho

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the popular use of the phrase relating to people who exhibited actual psychosis-like symptoms where the AI fed into a lowlevel but undeveloped delusion? Later people would appear to be experienc

Good to know. I use your site (with a manual transmission user-agent) often, and it's fantastic. Thanks for your work and the writeup!

I'm curious if anybody could speculate who would be attacking a documentation silo, and to what end?

Trusting vs. Intelligence (as generalities) are orthogonal.

It's disappointing to see the way the developers are pushing this pre-alpha quality work. I don't know (nor care) about the personalities attached, but the pitch is neat. The way it is being handled with almost daily reports of RC

Usually I find them demanding me give them food. Shame on me for forgetting snacks!

What does scolding look like in crows? Sincere question.

I never know unless somebody thinks I was(n't) being sarcastic or glib or something. I try to be straight forward because fundamentally, I don't like the "obligation to be online" for how much I personally enjoy tech. C&

Did they adopt the petty naming spat over Lake Ontario^WAmerica?

That's easily the strangest self-destruction I've ever seen. "Skewed gender representation"? Not sure how that matters or what the intended effect of salting the earth here was.

I would read that as an endorsement by omission. Maybe too conspiratorial? I'll accept criticism, but it definitely smells like implication (especially given the hard right-turn ICE took in their choices of "apparel").

If the barrier to entry is "own a smartphone", there will inevitably be people who will be excluded. Lots of fantastic reasons to unplug in 2026, year of our plague. Even if you don't go so far, conservative allowances for da

I want to believe that, but I do wonder. The surveillance powers are immense for such technology. Forget the magical "SAI" stuff. It would also be a perfect cause for hyperscaling: total coverage.

If they're in denial, perhaps they see something bigger at play? Governments are likely very interested in the massive-scale capacities for monitoring and analysis these tools enable. The public might not even matter to the suits in th

Passing the buck further down the line only to enrich the well-to-do isn't exactly the meaning of "it takes a village to raise a child".

Sure by today's metric. I wonder if the (A)GPL could be weakened? I'm asking because I want to know the boundary line that could emerge. IANAL of course, but informed speculation welcome.

I expect this will result in increased lobbying for ID verification. The trick is, as i see it, to externize the cost of externalizing the cost. I think Mark is trying to create a broad coalition in broad daylight to strongarm for pushing t

If there's ai code, it'll be good to see if the GPL will be allowed to be enforced. I'm worried about the copyright endgame.

I'm curious about enforcement. Are they going to ban packages with a whiff of llm? If so, how will they reliably audit?

How correlated is the lack of understanding with anti-intellectual views? A lot of people aren't even curious in my experience.
