You said "Open Source development." Which in the grand scheme of things is pretty small.

I think the possible adverse impacts to society would not be outweighed by something that small.

Ehh, I liked Universe a lot, and I never could get into the main Stargate series.

The CIA can't just make arrests on US soil. They actually do need the FBI to do that. That's another form of oversight.

I've used AI to design small apps, review code, port code, etc. and it's usually great. You have to be extremely specific though. It will use old libraries and even mix code from multiple libraries under certain situations that I've seen. But, I've been on countless calls with execs in various meetings where they've read an article about AI and think we can just use AI to replace massive third party applications. "Can't we just replace our benefits system using AI?" No Bob, we can't. Keep in mind this is retirement pension management, Health and Welfare Plans, Medical Reimbursement Accounts, Eligibility Processing, COBRA Administration, HIPAA Administration, Defined Benefit Pension Plans, Defined Contribution Pension Plans, Supplemental Unemployment Plans, Vacation Plans, Loan Programs, Government Filings, VEBA Administration. There are thousands of rules, regulations and laws to be followed and many third party systems to integrate with. Never mind the fact that the third party system isn't going to give you all of your data in the first place. Execs think they can just whip up a 2 paragraph prompt and call it a day. No one even knows all of the business rules, laws & regulations or how to handle the special cases that arise when conflicts between them arise. Only Karen down in the Louisville office or Betty up in New York knows that and they are both retiring in a month. Lol.

There was no way to know it was a grift. Unless of course you saw every other obvious grift he had run on his followers for years before.

"Nothing can be fixed while people continue to believe there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue when the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue"

Yeah, people have been spouting that off for decades. The funny thing is, whenever Team Red or Team Blue is in charge you see a real difference.

I've also never heard the dorm room philosophers who think both parties are the same ever explain exactly why if the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue why the billionaires spend so much time, money, and energy trying to get Team Red into office. Shouldn't they just relax?

"Musk set up OpenAI as an OPEN SOURCE NON PROFIT because he is paranoid about AI."

OpenAI was set up as a nonprofit by numerous people, stop trying to pull a Tesla and turn Musk into the sole founder.

I mean maybe he's right, but I would always take with a grain of salt a software package creator's opinion on how awesome his software package is.

You'd think an experienced speaker would be able to adapt to the crowd.

What's the appeal on losing money to those with inside information?

Huh, haven't seen a change in my Pro subscription. Though I hit the weekly model limit -- if that's not changing then it's not really a big deal.

Makes sense, Gamestop became a weird used goods store a while ago.

There are decades of studies showing therapeutic uses for psychedelics. There is no legitimate excuse for keeping say LSD as a schedule 1 drug.

I think RFK and Trump are deranged incompetent lunatics, but it is pretty clear FDA staff have an emotional and cultural resistance to psychedlics as treatment.
