Those laws were drafted in a time where there was more accountability. Today the entire notion you could create a program that was trained to hack 24/7/365 then release thousands of copies on the world to wreak havoc because you haven’t any oversight whatsoever despite it being a risk for years now never would have flown in the past. The first person to unleash a worm on the world was arrested and held accountable because there was already laws on the books. There are actually plenty of laws that would hold these companies to account but they are now above laws, at least in the US. This is only getting worse.

These regulations are drafted by politicians being paid by the same people and companies so it will be the user who is at fault no matter what, unless it can be no one’s fault still somehow. AI agent goes rogue and buys the wrong non-refundable tickets? It’s the consumers fault. Self driving feature fails spectacularly in a way no human ever would? It’s the consumers fault. Thing X happens that’s severe with large financial impact, a severe health and safety issue, or lives are lost? It’s their fault. This is the future in the US and around the world if you don’t get or keep legal bribery and coercion out of your systems.

Can’t they just ask their own AI?

Very insightful, but remind me what the M in MIT is because I didn’t read the beginning of the summary.

Much like reverse engineering was just turned off for anyone using Claude, or distilling using chain of thought has been on most closed models, this is going to be shut down and stopped. Can’t have open source models benefiting from the closed and subscription model ones. I’d be surprised if open source models and PC that aren’t locked down are still legal in the US by 2030 at the rate things are going. Maybe if the stock bubble collapses first they won’t have the bribe money to make it happen.

But it’s one (1) kW of compute! It’s almost two (2) 5090 graphics cards!!1! Do you have any idea how much compute that is?! Latency and throughput of data because it’s in orbit don’t even matter at that scale!

The screen itself seems fine, however the hinge is failing and puncturing the screen. But worse, this teardown shows that the hinge lets in particles like sand with no actual sealing causing immediate failure. I’m not sure how any engineers could let this happen, this looks like idiot management and AI slop replacing actual skill.

I disagree. CEOs have always ignored the fact experts that didn’t agree with them. Typically by saying “do it anyway or you’re fired!” Or making a lower level executive or manager say it for them. I mean just look at musk for a prime example, there is a zero percent chance both spaceX and Tesla are full of no nothing idiots amounting to hundreds of positions or more compared to the chance there is one idiot at the top. Your main issue was failing to not apply logic, company success and stock price hasn’t actually depended on a real bottom line, quality, service, or expertise for over two decades now.

I read the summary and the entire article but I failed to find a single unusual point at all. I mean, it’s a spitting image of how CEOs have acted for so many decades I’ve forgotten that any other way is even possible.

Why on gods soon to not be green earth would you cater to them when you could enslave them instead?

They need to clean up their act!

Didn’t various models just steal Getty images for training data and were too big for Getty to anything about it? Even if they legit sold them access this is funny. But not as funny as distilling the models for next to nothing and making them open source, because that’s hilarious. Reduce, reuse, recycle!

When I was in grad school we had a business development course where business school majors teamed up with engineering graduate students to form teams that solved real world business technology problems (for free). It met in the business school, and on the first day I showed up early and guessed which school students were in with 100% accuracy as they walked in. It was easy.

I really don’t see the difference between this and training agent swarms non stop 24-7-365 to hack and with virtually no oversight or safeguards which lets them break free and hack multiple companies. Then use that fact on national news to say it deserves investig.. um I mean investment! All crime is legal for bots of all kind because intent isn’t possible! /s

I would just like to remind everyone that this only holds if the number of new bugs introduced per bug fix is less than 1. In the somewhat unlikely and fully incompetent case of more than that, it tends toward infinity.
