You can buy an awful lot of banjos for $100M

Too hot, too humid, too hilly and junglely. I'd look at Minnesota

Decide what you want...data centers or Somalis?

Ok...how about they offer $1million or so to buy you out of your house and property? Maybe $1.5M...so after taxes you could end up with net $1M or close to it...?

I'd take that deal.

I wonder if lawmakers are going to try to force this shit on HOME users, private citizens running local models and agents...?

I do wonder if some of this Frontier AI push for laws is not only to try to fend off upstart commercial vendors, but also...the home market, since running local models makes $0 for those Frontier/Cloud AI companies......?

comes great responsability. We are not ready. Can we let those AIs compute the meaning of life the universe and everything first? That should keep it busy.

Nah...we already got that one.

42.

Are hammers hitting thumbs?

Are cartons of expired milk invading refrigerators?

Are cars double-parking themselves?

Tools don't spontaneously act....

You forgot...."Are guns killing people?"

Nope.

Pink Slime?

WTF is Pink Slime? The article seems to assume this is a common political term?

I'm with you on the computer prices, but not installing rooftop solar was a choice you made.

Unless you're Gen-Z in which case, get your ass over to Reddit where it belongs.

It would have to be truly amazing to make up for not being to buy RAM for 3+ years.

How would the premiums for humans "become unsustainable"? If anything the risk goes down for human drivers when all the other drivers are robots.

Yeah but Google Sheets could do it, assuming I wanted it bad enough to use Javascript.

k but what about thousands of accounts on the internet about deaths that USAID would have prevented? enough to humble even Elon Musk? just ignoring the inconvenient fact?

Well, there are other mechanisms that can be used to "save lives"....many are in action and have been for decades. Many private ones. The problem with USAID was that it was funding TONS of money to useless causes, and many funneling for political purposes which should not happen.

Yes, somewhat throwing baby out with the bathwater, but no other way really.

And also....what makes the US the world's brothers' keeper? I mean, it's nice, its a good thing to do, BUT we could be better served making sure all US citizens are taken care of first before we go outside our borders for the most part.

Of course some exceptions, but not many I can think of.

Just put commas or json in there. Whoop-de-doo.

you deny that ICE has killed innocents? that trump stopping USAID hasnt killed thousands? That wealthy self driving companies don't get a pass when they stop in front of an ambulance taking someone to a hospital? you live in a dream world.

I can only really think of one...that medical guy up north, an activist. He was pushing and getting physical with ICE...he was carrying concealed (legally)...and when one officer was pulling the guys weapon from it, a SIG I believe, it appears that pistol fired and all officers reacted thinking the medical guy had fired and they shot him.

That sig model has been known to have "spontaneous" fires....

I think that many mistakes were made here on part of ICE, but also, if the guy had not been getting physical with officers and even though legally carrying, if he had NOT been carrying to an event like this (common sense) he'd still be alive, but there should be trial on this.

Other than that, most of the others seem pretty justified to me...trying t run over officers in cars, either on purpose or while trying to escape, etc.

that trump stopping USAID hasnt killed thousands?

Nope...and even if some collateral damage....USAID was throwing money out to many organizations that were detrimental to our country. They also seemed to be funding through hoops...a lot of the leftists propaganda and orgs that we just do not need. That was a slush fund that needed to be stopped.

And, incidentally, the EU already has pretty reasonable regulation. Copy that.

From what I've heard the EU regulations also go a long way to preventing (at least eventually) the ability of private individuals from setting up their own hardware and running their own models and agents from home or private business, keeping their own data and not sharing data with the frontier companies.

From what I hear this is the path of regulation making it far to expensive and legally regulated for any individual to run their own hardware and open source models and agents.
