Why wait that long?

"Clean up your room!"

"Oh mom! Can I do it in two years?"

You don't have to choose. Call them both.

Requirements are simple. If your chatbot is tried as a human in a court of law and fails, you go to jail in its place.

So, expect viruses like the ones we all played with in the 80s then? Why do we need AI again for that?

Amodei is getting shriller and shriller. At some point I expect he'll throw chairs around while screaming on stage. He must really, really, really want that IPO so he can steal the pension fund money.

Nobody in history claimed that slavery was a victimless crime. Slave owners and people in general knew full well how horrible slavery was for the individual, but they thought it was a completely legitimate option for people down on their luck:

It was a logical economic option for people who had nothing left of value and still owed money. It was a logical option for children and wives who were considered the property of their parents and husbands. It was also a clearly accepted economic perk of victory during wars, where the other option was to simply slaughter the losers (aka never leave people alive who want revenge).

In modern times we have found alternatives and legal taboos that make direct slavery economically unattractive today but it can and will come back when another use for it is found.

I like the new name, you insensitive claud!

I've always said that Stupid Intelligence is the future of the current AI industry.

I for one welcome our new Stupid Intelligence Technology Hoverlords!

Clever! But not sublime :)

Combine the training of future models on Bob's AI interaction history with other companies accessing those future trained models to vibe-code similar systems.

You don't understand the business either.

The business is making a return for early investors, by trying to IPO an unprofitable debt laden business at a 2 trillion dollars valuation, then off-loading shares to the pension funds as quickly as possible before the inevitable financial reckoning occurs.

The AI people are nuts. They've already reinvented MCP, doesn't anybody remember TRON?

That is not actually smart. There are smart things to do in that situation, and not responding isn't one of them.

I don't think it's a good idea, but not for the reason you probably think.

Having multiple implementations of a de-facto standard library is basically forking. And forking is not a good thing, by and large.

It creates product redundancy while also introducing subtle differences among the forks, which both destroys the previous standard and is bad for interoperability.

Forking also splits the community into us vs them, and brings uncertainty to users who don't know which library to use. In the worst case once the libraries have diverged, users will be confused and wonder what the true standard is, and why there is such a shitshow of incompatible code everywhere.

As usual, xkcd explains it best.

Moreover, Amazon are currently cash flow constrained for random projects. They have just spent $200 billion on AI so they can't splash money around *quite* as they used to in the past.

When did the UK "stop inspecting" vegetables/food?

A little while ago, they stopped checking the curvature of bananas.
