Anthropic can't even do math. They are crap. When they actually start competing on Benchmarks that matter, then maybe I'll pay attention to them. Right now they're just a virtue signaling hypocritical company, that is going for a race to the bottom on job displacement.

Call me a Luddite but, since the development of self driving cars will lead to self driving trucks, I’d rather not see the termination of the second most common profession in the US. We should move to a low or zero-emissions trucking fleet but automation in this industry only benefits the 1%. We should not sacrifice millions of livelihoods in exchange for a promise of marginal increases in safety…

those dudes should embrace AI. Movies in recent years suck big time, you only see marvel shit going around all the time. Maybe AI is that piece of imagination that these dudes lost in the past 20 years.

Because it's not about the West. It's about democracy and freedom versus tyranny and imperialism. Every democracy, regardless of where they are located, should be supporting Ukraine's right to defend itself against an invader, especially a fascist invader that intends to destroy Ukrainian democracy and freedom and has been committing horrible crimes against humanity in the occupied territories.

good for them. i approve of this action and hope to see this bill embraced in the entire first world sometime soon.

Only if you are convinced that AGI is dangerous. Sam Altman is a human and so shares the incentive to not build a human exterminating machine. There is a real chance that the leadership is seeing that AI safety is coming along fine but the safety team is convinced it isn't. One is tempted to say that the safety team would know best, but remember that anyone on the team is self selected to believe…

We live in era of battle of wills. China has not demonstrated any will to fight a war in recent history. Nice to build this stuff, but not going to be used. Good to sell to Russia though.

Just to be clear, by your rules, should no rich people take action on climate change? Or must they sacrifice their wealth to satisfy you? I ask because the DiCaprio Foundation [has invested $80 million over the last 20 years,](https://www.leonardodicaprio.org/about/) much of it to fight climate change. Some of that is DiCaprio's money--I don't know how much. I guess by your standard you'd prefe…

To be honest, most information that people you’re forced to interact with daily is easily transmitted when you use chatGPT to answer them. It’s not like you need a personal touch for every work request you send out into the world. This way, the message is received and you get a non reactive, clear response.

Okay but temp and seasonal jobs are a thing. Th real question is if long term AI is going to help or hurt people. AI is definitely eliminating jobs, but it’s mostly white collar and tech jobs. Will it eventually be that robots are finding and creating new resources, doing the dirty jobs no want wants, replacing doctors, police, basic infrastructure, leaving people free to think and create things,…

I guess not, if you consider rape and someone being called a homophobic slur the same type of abuse. Solve all problems at the same time, lets be realistic here.

They think having the most people in a country qualifies them for some kind of special compensation. To be fair, multinat corporation do seem to agree in that, since they could both be cheap producers or eager consumers.

Of course you have to prove yourself before getting defence equipment. We shouldn't give them shit until they've proven they're not going to turn around and sell it to Russia, or mix, for instance, our aircraft/missiles with Russian anti-air which creates a data collection opportunity for what is effectively our enemy. It's not about respect, it's the reality of military secrecy.

How many times this will be recycled? Models should be unbiased, not "*right-wing only*". Pretty much everything is illegal in the EU - that's why EU does not exist on the AI map. Until recently there was one EU company among the leading labs - Mistral. Now it essentially dropped off the race. "*unwanted by most of the rest of the world*" is the exact opposite of what we observe.

In theory yes, but realistically completely impractical. We're probably 20 years behind in infrastructure and technology and with the Europe-wide debt brake that germany imposed on everyone, we cannot generate the needed investment sums. People rather put their money in the top Silicon Valley stocks which they know will perform.

We can easily and relatively cheaply build geodesic domes around farmland and gain full control over our agricultural ecosystems. This is a non-story meant to gain funds for some fraudulent "green fund".

Zelensky is restricting speech and he won’t let men 18-60 leave the territory. All of these national leaders are henchmen. But of course some henchmen are better than others and they validate these battles for power that way.

India's complicity in the genocide of the Ukrainian people will be a stain it will not wash out, but at the same time, what the fuck?

Cameras don't have creativity. They simply replicate. If we learned how to make art using cameras -- through human-led composition and context -- then we will eventually learn how to make art using AI.

Elon has thought about this problem, and attempted to express the answer in terms of how many tons of batteries we would need to do this. I don't remember the exact numbers, but he made your point quite nicely.
