Comment Re:His Whole Pitch is Safety (Score 1) 56

Apparently, "safeguards" mean "don't let the AI say something that hurts feels" rather than "don't let the AI act in a manner that is dangerous and unlawful." I say this because, apparently, Anthropic's systems have been leveraged by nation state actors for hacking campaigns (though details of this are minimal and read like marketing spiel about how awesome their tools are rather than giving information on what actually happened).

Agreed he's truly despicable. I'll also agree with dangerous as anyone who has that much money is dangerous by definition. There is nothing wrong with my understanding of ethics or principle. I also think SpaceX succeeds in spite of Musk and not because of him.

With all of that said, I fail to see how anyone's proclivities or politics play into whether or not a company they own will succeed at any given objective. I'd further argue that if you believe that someone is dangerous, you're fucking stupid if you pretend that they cannot achieve things that are clearly within their (demonstrated) capability to achieve, and the only thing you accomplish is convincing people they're less dangerous than they are.

They are not returning Starships back to Earth and reusing them.....hell I have doubts they'll be able to land it in one piece at all.

The most recent test proved capability of doing this.

Elon is a tool and a con man, but I never understood the hate boner people have for SpaceX.

Oh sorry we can't allow healthcare because a black guy instituted it.

"Racism" is not the answer to every fucking political disagreement. The black guy in question did just as well as a percentage of the electorate (or better) than the white guys in the three presidential elections since he left office.

The government is currently shut down because, apparently, the "affordable" care act is so affordable that the emergency subsidies put in place during Covid now need to be made permanent, or, apparently, even people with six figure incomes can't afford it. I don't see "skin color" being at issue there, do you?

This guy specifically invited this result with his "All copyright is void because Covid and we say so" bullshit, and his surprised Pikachu face and heartfelt appeals are infuriating. He hasn't just damaged the Archive, his moronic actions killed the idea of format shifting being legally acceptable.

That would be 1.4M users worth $1000 each in a timeframe short enough to make a profit and not find a better investment. They must be counting on that 1.4M users being worth $10000 each or more on a longer time frame. Good luck. You can only sell so many hallucinations.

It's actually worse than that... your calculation is off by three orders of magnitude. 1.4B users, not 1.4M.

It doesn't matter how much he spends on infrastructure, at some point he has to charge people more or cut his costs to run these models.

At a trillion dollars a year they'd need to increase the cost by a factor of more than 4 and increase the paid user count to 1/8th of the entire planetary population just to cover capital spending. If you charged corporate America $30k a year for each employee made redundant by AI you would need to replace ~20% of the entire productive US workforce to cover just those costs.
