This is killing so many small businesses. I know mine is basically dead now

Try comprehending what he wrote instead of spewing insults, it might make you smarter. He’s clearly not an AI bro.

Of course they aren’t, but the cartoonish levels of moustache-twirling villainy described here are unlikely to be real.

They thought it was cool. They knew it would drive usage and make money. They shit on intellectual property. There is no other explanation needed, nor is it sensible.

You can keep 1 hour time zones just fine. It still puts noon within 1 hour of mid day, which you don’t get with DST.

The law very, VERY often violates the democratic choices of the people in the United States. That’s what you get when you do FPTP voting schemes.

The moralistic outrage is that people still have an outdated concept of intellectual property, and a blanket fear of corporations owning technological progress.

The truth is, no one can actually own an idea or style. But we have laws that try to make it a real thing. Because of regulatory capture, copyright truly only benefits corporations with lots of money, not all the little indie artists that actually would need it.

Hell, most these indie artists make their money drawing and selling fanart, which is the most literal definition of copying. Yet no one worries about that.

OpenAI picked Studio Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach.

I highly doubt it. They picked it because the Ghibli style is very popular among users. There’s also no reason to believe that it violates “democratic values”. Since it’s popular, the general population is voting that they LIKE it, not that they oppose it.

Downvote me all you like, but this is trying to put a lot of malice where the simpler explanation is just “money”.

The whole point of buying Twitter was to take it private. IPO for xAI would hilariously undo that.

Embarrassing for Europe? Not in the slightest. USA over here with its pants down and has the audacity to say that everybody else should be embarrassed smh.

The most efficient is obviously a combination of methods, using the fastest methods for each leg of the journey.

In the US, right now, taking a car from point to point, then walking into your location is the fastest combination in most cases.

It’s always been a video game to rich people who never have to risk their own lives. Real leaders lead from the front lines.

Option 2 should be easy to prove, so why didn’t they do that already, like literally the same day they were accused of it? Then their funds wouldn’t have been frozen.

“You don’t need (and therefore shouldn’t want) this obviously good thing” has this connotation that the Minecraft team has been wasting their time on pointless features, when in reality first-party support for a feature is nearly always more stable than a mod.

Plus read the article, the author is a vehement hater of Minecraft. What a joke.

What a weird passive aggressive headline. A better default is a good thing, and doesn’t stop modders from doing their own thing.

Dead Internet theory has never been a bigger threat. I believe that’s the number one danger - endless quantities of advertising and spam shoved down our throats from every possible direction.

The system in place is “open weights” models. These AI companies don’t have a huge head start on the publicly available software, and if the value is there for a corporation, most any savvy solo engineer can slap together something similar.

Eh I’m fine with the illegal harvesting of data. It forces the courts to revisit the question of what copyright really is and hopefully erodes the stranglehold that copyright has on modern society.

Let the companies fight each other over whether it’s okay to pirate every video on YouTube. I’m waiting.

Of course AGI is possible, human brains can’t violate P=NP any more than silicon can.

Our current approach may be flawed for sure, but there’s nothing special about nature compared to technology, other than the fact it’s had a billion times longer to work on its tech.

That’d be preem

Right, simply scaling won’t lead to AGI, there will need to be some algorithmic changes. But nobody in the world knows what those are yet. Is it a simple framework on top of LLMs like the “atom of thought” paper? Or are transformers themselves a dead end? Or is multimodality the secret to AGI? I don’t think anyone really knows.
