are required to re-invest all of their profits in their operation, and not distribute them among owners and shareholders.

FWIW, this Nobel Laureate (Hinton) disagrees with you about consciousness. Maybe you should be less certain about your credences.

Anyway, there was some discussion about the Goblin Problem and its relation to consciousness it in the latest Last Week in AI. Always worth a listen.

Remember Solyndra?

Jesus, this is a brain-dead take. Anthropic is the AFAICT only for-profit company that takes AI safety and alignment seriously.

Dario (and others') work on Constitutional AI is AFAICT the only realistic solution to this very real engineering problem. And they publish what could be their secret-sauce constitution, verbatim, under a Creative Commons license.

The people behind ChatGTP are essentially designing a neural net training system and general purpose inference and expression system based on the neural net. Then they are feeding in pretty much all of the human expressions of knowledge or communication in the public or cheaply commercially purchasable (e.g. used books) domain, as learning material for the neural net.

Essentially, they are creating a very large library with a very fast, efficient, disinterested librarian function to help a person find what they're looking for. I'm sure a lot of crimes have been planned in the past with the assistance of library visits. Do we start rounding up librarians? Or, in a more apt analogy, do we start rounding up the university professors of library science, who trained all those librarians?

are way, way better (and more cost effective) than anything you're driving. 60mph in 4 seconds and drives itself. You should try one before commenting. By the way, enjoying those gas prices?

you're welcome.

This. And note the headlines for what afaict is the same product. For Meta they are enabling sexual predators. For Apple they are ... making style and design choices?

Because when enough people start using a technical term incorrectly, that mistake becomes the "official, most correct" usage of the term in the natural language.

Examples:

CPU - you know, the big beige computer box under your desk, as opposed to the "monitor". Luckily somehow English has escaped from that misuse that was common in the 1990s and 2000s.

"I could care less" - This now means "I couldn't care less" which actually made literal sense.

"Meme" - you know, those silly viral images or animations passed around on socials or the Interweb: Example "Grumpy Cat"
                                As opposed to its intended scientific meaning as "a unit of information with the property that it can induce its hosts to replicate it and thus carry it forward in time." Examples: the holy books of a religion.

And now we have "AGI" which if we're not careful will come to mean "Agentic AI" or even, an ARM chip used for AI, as opposed to "Artificial General Intelligence".

 

Stop all the alternatives to fossil fuels and then start a war carefully calculated (lol) to raise oil and gas prices through the roof. I guess we know which industry his shell companies, relatives, and cronies are all invested in.

Seriously though, can we just exile Trump and his fossil fuel CEO buddies to a large iceberg that just broke off a formerly stable ice shelf somewhere. Poetic justice. They'll be fine, because global heating is fake news.

Can you please put me through to Claude?

As a person who worked mightily hard for over a year on a cross functional team with top management attention to bring a product into official FedRAMP compliance... for all the blood sweat weekends late nights documenting automating improving processes and tooling... FUCK YOU Microsoft for cheating your way in and endangering your country and your customers in the process. FUCK. YOU.

The Black Blade was forged a million billion years ago. Its cosmic story goes on for eternity. It master is its slave. Hahahahahaaaaaa

LibreWolf is FF with the enshittification removed

It's Trump and Hegseth's Pentagon that constitutes the risk to national security these days.

Am I right?
Check back in a couple of months after the US government-initiated Iranian asymmetric attack on the US homeland or ordinary citizens.
