there are limitations, a non resident can get a car in for a year, and if it’s plated in Mexico a resident might get a similar permit.
Historically, at the time of mass unionization there was but one major employer in many towns, so your cartel is needed to counter the monopoly power.
Prior to industrialization the closest you got to this was feudalism.
Perhaps, but due to the slop nature of OpenAI proofs, the proofs remain unaccepted by mathematicians, which leads one to question how many are valid proofs and how many are nonsense. If we see that they are nonsense, then OpenAI has wasted a huge amount of effort in mathematics. Famously the ABC conjecture proof of 500 pages is still unaccepted despite having been written in 2012.
Already people are seeing that the lean proofs provided don’t match the paper and lean proofs have not been provided for all paper proofs.
Seems like your company is irrational, but that’s almost the norm. They aren’t measuring the added value of $200/month over $50/month and they have some xenophobia about Chinese tech, even if it’s just the open weights that are Chinese.
It’s been blocked at companies I have worked at. In one case it briefly worked but thereafter WSL lost network access.
And quantum mechanics are what other than random probabilities?
So your argument is that scale is also necessary? I can see that, we don’t expect that a single neuron is human intelligence.
>isn't sufficiently well understood to tell us how close the software neural network is to being practically equivalent. The odds of consciousness emerging from the same neural network that gave us LLMs without some sort of theoretical breakthrough seems very small.
First, if we are looking at risk we need to assign some probabilities to this. If it’s not well understood, how can we say it is very small?
Secondly, do we need consciousness to have AGI? Do we even need AGI to pose a risk to humanity? We already accept that unconscious things have a capability of wiping out humanity, whether that be a famine, pandemic, solar superflare, meteor, or volcanic eruption.
Unfortunately that was one of his few wrong predictions, that is would he so far in the future we’d need cryostasis to see it.
Right, AI had to get it from somewhere.
One difference is that the premium copilot has access to company files and those on your onedrive, whereas the non premium version requires you to upload files.
At a trade show, I met a company that was advertising a feature as powered by Claude. I asked an employee what that meant, as it seemed unlikely, and he then didn’t know how answer so he introduced me to the CEO. The CEO said that the ad meant that Claude now writes all of their code including that new feature. They are now working on having Claude handle their QA process. I wondered if any of the devs were at the booth or if the employee I spoke to first was a dev who knew it was bs.
They have shown that your mind is doing exactly that due to the delays in consciousness. There are very simple examples that you can try to see it. It’s especially clear in perception.

It’s interesting that our conscious interpreter doesn’t let us know that this is going on like you are experiencing, it must be that it’s advantageous for us to not think about the prediction part of our mind.
There actions are fundamentally inconsistent with a group who believes AI is fundamentally dangerous - they are developing it and releasing it out into the world with the knowledge that it cannot be controlled by their current alignment techniques.
According to Buckmaster, the prompt used on the AIs was based on his approach and solution that was unpublished. So they were starting from 90% of the way there.
Many boomers hated antilock brakes, but insurers gave discounts for having them on your car anyway. I think it’s likely going to be a similar thing with self driving.
Even today, I don’t like the intrusiveness of the insurance monitors you can install on your car today and I am willing to forgo that discount to keep my privacy.
>The groups varied in size, and the group that produced the Navier–Stokes resolution involved on the order of 10,000 concurrent agents… The agents arrived at their resolution on Saturday, September 5, about 88 hours after the first agents were launched.
The Millenium Prize is $1M, what is the ROI? (Edit: since I was not clear, and confused some - I mean for a hypothetical of a third party paying commercial rates to use AI to solve mathematical challenges and claim prize money, not for scientific value alone or as a promotion of an AI lab’s capabilities)
My napkin math - If you get 33 output tok/s each agent will burn 10.5M tokens over 88 days. At $50/MTok (Astra cost), that is $525 per agent. With 10,000 agents, you’d spend $5,250,000 to get back a million.
(We also know that they were running more groups that varied in size and this model is a generation ahead of astra)
Eh, I think you may have just been in a tighter echo chamber on twitter. If you are on bluesky the discover tab is considered a mess and may provide you with things that you aren’t interested in.
I recently learned of Dandora Kenya (Nairobi) and the megadump there and ors waste pickers.
It’s worth reading about and considering what happens to your waste.

The total plastic waste in subsaharan africa is expected to increase by 100 Million tons by 2060.
is it manned? I assumed autonomous means unmanned?
“Saab has unveiled its A3 collaborative combat aircraft concept—an autonomous, tailless, supersonic, double-delta-wing air vehicle”
In a sane world would this be a potential antitrust case as they are a direct competitor to Codex?
How can you ban a competitor from using a model that you openly provide access to?
I understand that the OpenAI ToS may have been violated by X, but has anyone ruled on distillation as fair use? OpenAI believes distillation of nonAI produced content is fair use, so they don’t appear to have a leg to stand on.
I have had an occasional problem where a large building ends up blocking my view, but in general it’s very good.
OP said they will bow to pressure, which just means that governments will be able to control nv and get them to ban the obliterated models, implement ’safety’ controls on all uploaded models.
someone mentioned torrents as an option.
Ngram is compressing several layers of multiplication to a lookup which negates the need to have the same model depth and reduces the model size that must be loaded.
Sounds like you are describing a quantized model which is a naive form of compression, not a model that is trained more efficiently.
Additionally the information theory angle is for information storage, but a model can access resources and tools to gain information and what we are really seeking to train is reasoning not information retrieval. We reduce the needs to the right capabilities and we don’t get upset if it does not know the lyrics to every song ever written.
The current models are not close to approaching the limit of compression for intelligence. They aren’t even focused on it like Chinese labs are. The training of Qwen’s 27B parameter model showed that by structuring model training from fundamentals to more difficult topics they were able to drastically reduce the number of parameters needed.
The ‘frontier’ models rely on scale to achieve their results but that’s not the only approach. Eventually we will hit up against the fundamental limits but we are not close with Sol and Mythos.
