This is a meaningless statement. I too can create a tool to generate a list of peptide candidates with minimal effort. It may even be somewhat useful if it based peptide sequences on homology searches or some other relevant biology instead of random string generation. This has been an active area of research for than 20 years. In order for this to be newsworthy. Claude has to be better than what already exists. How many novel candidates does it generate that actually have useful antibiotic properties? Do I have to screen through a list of 100 candidates to find one that actually works? If so, that’s not much better than a BLAST search and it costs a lot more. What is the strain selectivity of the new antibiotic? Is it broad or narrow spectrum? How easy is it to manufacture? Are there any toxic side effects?

Assuming a new antibiotic is actually what’s needed, instead of using one of the many beta-lactams or combination therapies that already exist, generating the candidate is the first and easiest step of a long and expensive process to developing a novel drug.

It should be fairly easy to carve out provisions for exceptional circumstances (ex: bankruptcy proceedings), and is probably common practice already. But I agree the language has an implied target which is not good for getting legislation passed, generally. It should be possible to propose reasonable accommodation for majority circumstances without sounding like a manifesto.

That will run into problems with federal copyright laws and other IP protections. While it sounds just, it is unlikely to get anywhere. More likely is large companies would have to have an end-of-life plan for their product (which they likely do already) that includes considerations for how to keep the game playable after servers are taken offline. It could be as simple as releasing the protocol to enable third parties to host servers. Or, better, designing the game for offline play from the beginning so that the final patch set is just a simple switch.

Regardless of the outcome, however, this really does seem like a pre-eminent example of “first world problems”.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

Well, it says in the abstract (and they have further detailed calculations in the paper) that they achieved an average desalination rate of 1.76 kg/m^2/h. So that’s about 1 gallon of water in one hour with 2 m^2 panel. That said, they did their tests using a 9 cm^2 panel, so yields may change significantly on scale up. Not sure if that translates into meaningful cost savings at scale, but it does seem like a significant advance in solar desalination technology. It seems like the paper was focused mostly on salt harvesting, though, rather than desalination. So I expect the real utility to be the combination of the two rather than desalination by itself, if it scales.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

This will not end well.

Why is this a problem?

I do not want my software censoring anything I make.

Neoliberalism and liberalism are two totally different things.

Ai will just shine the light on the class of workers who have make-work just that exist solely to push them to vote harder.

When we can let markets replace them, itâ(TM)ll be a tragedy for a few generations and then it will be forgotten.

I am anti copyright and have been all my life. I have created things of value and always dump them into the public domain.

Copyright infringes our rights to use our brain and voice and hands and body.

Fuck IP.

Federal regulations are stupid level: they are owned by lobbyists and megacorps.

Send this to the states.

Regulators should be afraid of weaponized Ai. So should censors. So should monopolists.

All of the things the State has done in the past 500 years has been corrupt and bureaucratic and caused harm. All. Not most, but all.

All of the people who supported it, from monopolists to lobbyists to activists caused harm.

Ai is undoing it all. Not piece by piece but all at once.

I, for one, can't wait to see folks zapped for restraining voluntary behavior.

This is why it's time to end social security.

I look at how much I've paid in over my life, and what it would be worth to me today EVEN IF you took out a lot to take care of the infirm and disabled.

There is no way that 65% of the population needs a full handout, but that's about what I'm paying.
