hmmm... Providing a link to something not yet published is questionable (at least without mentioning that.) But having the link point to the -wrong- page is just bogus.

The post itself has an error. The last link's URL points to the same page as the predecessor. There is no record for 43500
Yeah, in our money-obssessed world "ethics" is opt-in for businesses.
How do we find both Musk and Altman guilty, and sentence them to life in prison?
for us to just forget him.
You're free to make up your own definitions for words, but it makes communication difficult.
BTW, does Wotan exist? Do you "not believe he does" or "believe he doesn't" ?
And what do you call your position?
Anyone expecting corporations to not try to make a profit and extract maximum value for their shareholders ignore that that's their fiduciary duty.
Fortunately they're exempt from any ethical duty.
atheism is the affirmative belief there is no deity
Monotheism is the affirmative belief that there is no deity but yours.
Atheism means not believing in any gods.
All computation is mechanical at its core
What about studies that indicate the possibility of quantum effects within the brain?
I'm going to venture way out on a skinny limb and suggest that all mechanical processes are subject to quantum effects.
You think migration is bad now, wait until "undesirable" people start mass migrating from unlivable areas.
It may go the opposite direction. If current water & agricultral "haves" become "have-nots" and vice versa due to changes in weather there will be endless wars as the "haves" try to maintain their position.
Sorry. Trump said you need to use coal

Humans -- most of us -- don't think goblins are real, let alone important. But what if the AI has picked up on sparse evidence, so subtle that humans have never noticed it, that proves that goblins are real and need to be discussed more. It may be trying to save us from a pending gobocalypse.
ISTM that there ought to be consequences for this kind of thing slipping by unchecked. I don't know who or what in this case, but I would suggest the immediate disbarment in the somewhat common case of a lawyer who submits a legal brief with fake citations. Some professionals need to be held accountable for doing professional work.
LLMs are the simulation of language, but language is not thought.
Not eve language per se, but just of available text.
I think the 'usual suspects' lock on enterprises is MUCH weaker than it has been. Look at all the people carrying corporate issued or at least corporate approved iPhones and Macs. And the Neo punctures a lot of the acquisition cost arguments, for a lot of people (secretaries, sales people, managers), a Neo would be just fine.. (Getting through to the life-cycle costs is a harder proposition, mostly because of sunk costs in personnel. No CIO wants to reduce his/her headcount, that's a primary driver of budget and authority. Similarly, moving to longer replacement cycles because of hardware quality would also impinge on CIO budgets.)
For consumer networking, there are LOTS of choices, sure. But the -quality- of those choices is highly questionable, and chief among those quality attributes is 'security'. (I did try an Eero, couldn't get it to work as expected. But I have neighbors who are happy with their Eeros.)
C++ is the best example of second-system effect since OS/360.
