Unfortunately I think the writing is clearly on the wall. Fully autonomous weapons are coming soon
Props to Dario and Anthropic for holding firm on these two points that I feel like should be a no-brainer
I do not understand this move by Nvidia, they are afraid of being out competed by this startup in their core competence of building chips for AI? They may be eliminating a competitor for now but this move will…
Right because countries with smaller populations can't beat larger ones when defending their homeland. Oh wait that's exactly what happened in Afghanistan vs USSR and USA, Vietnam etc.
This only takes into account income tax and not other taxes which are often more regressive such as sales tax, payroll tax etc. When analyzing taxes paid we should take into account all taxes
That's fair to call our democrats when they say things with contempt but is this not a phenomenon that happens from both sides now? What about when JD Vance calls out 'miserable childless cat ladies'? Donald Trump is a…
> Higher child tax credit, and generally pro-family You mean like the one that democrats proposed and republicans in the senate killed?
Give me a fucking break. Trump trashes segments of America for years and gets a pass but if a democrat makes a single pissed off comment it's a big deal.
Was Mike Pence getting chosen for his Christian background not an example of identity politics? Was JD Vance being a younger politician to balance old Trump identity politics? Everything relates to identity politics
Agreed and Trump is not going to do it, he's going to try and make the richer richer just like he did with his tax cuts last time https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-how-capitalism-needs-refo...
Do you realize what the cost was to society to have a Bell Labs? Telephone service was expensive as hell and you couldn't even own your own telephone. There was no incentive for innovation in many areas like answering…
You have no idea what you're talking about. China has been cracking down on it's capitalist class/entrepreneurs 100x what the US gov has done.
There really aren't that many platforms that 'everyone' uses. So yes you regulate them. Just like we regulate the thousands of bars in the country from allowing minors in
Time will tell. Hopefully the new board will still be mostly independent of Sam/MSFT/VC influence. I really hope they continue as an org that tries its best to uphold their charter vs just being another startup.
Dude just think about that for a moment. By definition if existential risk has been proven. It's already too late
Well it depends on who's on the new board and what they believe. If Altman, Greg, and MSFT do not have direct representation on the new board there would still be a check against his decisions
I think it was mostly a bluff to try the pressure the board. I don't think Sam and most of Open AI rank and file would want to be employees of MSFT
I guess the main question is who else will be on the board and to what degree will this new board be committed to the Open AI charter vs being Sam/MSFT allies. I think having Sam return as CEO is a good outcome for…
I mean it's not like there's going to be a huge pool of suitable candidates for something like this on short notice. They probably picked the most capable candidate they knew of who aligned with their values
But I think this episode shows how dependent OpenAI was on Microsoft. They seem to be closer to an extension than a truly independent actor
Human character doesn't change that much, let's say that in his heart Sam is more of of a move fast and commercialize type of leader and Ilya doesn't want that. Do you think them sitting down and talking about it is…
I'd be willing to bet that the average corporate exec or VC is more of a sociopath than the average nonprofit leader/board member
If OpenAI changes their governance structure I think every single major AI lab will be controlled by corporations. What makes you so optimistic about a world where the most powerful technology of all time is controlled…
The attitudes I'm seeing in this debate are mind blowing to me, explain to me why you think it's better that the future of AI and therefore the future of humanity is better off controlled by narrow-minded shareholder…
Of course I am but only because I think developing safe AI is going to be such a monumental challenge (greater than manhattan project). However honestly I think recent events give me more hope that things will go well.…
