Also, hyperscalers use hardware more efficiently than organizations than self-host, therefore open models that are self-hosted would require more hardware, that Nvidia sells.

The summary links to the wrong place on Gates' blog. Here is the correct one. But the pages are all mixed together so that as you scroll down you get to a different topic and the url changes.

A good limit on AI development would be to allow it to grow only with renewable power, so that it does not accelerate climate change. If you scroll down Gates blog, you'll see his thoughts on climate change. But there is no mention of it in "The choices we make about AI" essays. As if the world's problems are unrelated to each other.

Why did you choose GrapheneOS vs other alternatives, and why is the alternative Android OS ecosystem so fragmented? There is GrapheneOS, LineageOS, e/OS, ...

This is quoted from the phys.org article. It wasn't added in the summary.

The article says something else: "they then cut the bindings off in order to scan the books more quickly. The printed book is destroyed in the process."

The word "Big" is not mentioned in either the salon or politico article. It was added by editor david. Flock is a private company, and most likely not worth a $billion. If "People are sick of tech billionaires trying to control our lives", a Flock uprising is a diversion. The real Big Tech is in everyone's phone, stalking everyone's browser, and who knows what else. Big Tech is carefully sly and does not make Flock's amateurish mistakes. Big Tech tricks people into paying for the spyware that spies on them, or giving away their privacy for free, in exchange for convenience.

You may be an exception. The books you mentioned are reference books. I am worried that reference books will disappear, because most people won't use them. Which means that we will be at the mercy of getting our information from AI.

Reference book publishers might publish their books through an LLM: you can ask questions but nobody gets the whole book.

LLMs are trained on "large, uncontrolled media collections". But they could be trained on curated media collections.

The humanoid classroom assistants that companies want to introduce to schools may be a sneaky way to educate LLMs and get paid for it, by putting them in real classrooms with humans. With disastrous consequences for the privacy of these students.

Things don't fall out of satellites. But the whole satellite could fall out of orbit and the sphere inside might have "hatched" out of the burning shell.

It would be more effective to not use Big Tech services, provide courses on self-hosting software, and put PV on school roofs.

The settlement was made in 2000.

There should be some concrete examples published on what sort of taxes the ultra-rich pay or don't pay. Perhaps start that requiring that billionaires should have their tax-returns published for all to see, perhaps anonymously and redacted, but certainly it should answer the question of how much tax they pay, their total capital gains, distributions, exemptions, etc. Otherwise people will be voting on this initiative based on anecdotes, like so many comments here are.

If you create your own website, the phone won't be able to display it. That's why it is anti-freedom. A browser is an operating system on its own that runs on many devices, including iphones and most Android phones (except this one). Blocking browsers means that the phone can run only Android apps, not web apps.

If you like it, buy it. But make an informed choice.

Assuming you don't want your kid to access any websites, including their school website, your family website (if you have one) a weather station website, government websites, or their own websites, if you kids have learned to build one.

According to the specifications on that website, the planes have maximum power of 750 HP = 500 Kw. If the plane flies for half an hour at this maximum power, it will use 250Kwh. If the batteries have energy density 250Wh/Kg, it will need 1000 Kg of batteries (1200 Kg, if the batteries are discharged to 20%). These planes have payload 500Kg. 1000 Kg of batteries is 2X the payload, which does not seem excessive.

For comparison, a Boeing 787 has fuel capacity of 100 000 Kg, which is 100 times the above battery size.

LLMs interact with humans, thus gaining lots of new good training data. Through this interaction/feedback, they can better retrain themselves on both the new data and the existing corpus of human works.
