no thanks, we don't need the next thierry to have an expanded fief to "regulate". if anything, canada should model itself closer to the states with more personal freedoms and less regulation. there is a lot of land and resources to develop, the politicians need to just stop trying to maintain the status quo and aggressively try to develop all the land we have. the idea that we can't is a loser's mentality.

strat is likely just get users, then offboard aws if the product works.

good, there is no need for a nation to have an abundance of social "scientists".

if they are idiots and couldn't replicate it, it's worth saying it. better that than sugarcoating idiocy until it harms future research.

this is a dumb feature, you should judge an image by your perception of it, not how it was created (ie machine or human made).

the anti ai-generated image crowd is a loud minority, they won't matter in the long term and spending dev time on this is questionable decision making at best.

now if you're a forensics company or that is the angle, then yeah it could be an interesting tool to have, might be even more profitable than this custom search as a service thing (obsoleted already by llm tech).

sure, let's hear it from the "head of engineering" of an academic club with "9-12" intern level devs who has barely 2y of experience as a dev himself what he thinks about the industry. i mean it's fine to have an opinion and not particularly hating on the guy, but why is it given any credence and making the front page? are people this afraid?

llms are a tool, if you can't make it work for you or learn from using them, sorry but it's just a skill/motivation issue. if the interns are making dumb mistakes, then you need to guide them better and chop up the task into smaller segments, contextualize it for them as needed.

they should prove damages before setting fines like this.

the american gov is spending billions upon billions to defend the eu and they have the gall to nitpick & set 7 to 9 fig fines using %revenue (extortion) on their companies, which are btw providing valuable services (for free) to eu citizens. beyond ridiculous, especially with no sensible cap on the fines.

all the gdpr has done is make the web more miserable, someone from the usgov should give a call to the data protection office or wtv to remind them of their actual importance in the grand scheme of things.

and this is ignoring the damage they're doing to their own tech ecosystem with this over-regulation.

meaningless stat in the grand scheme of things. eventually, it will all transition to nuclear/solar. the question is does it move the needle in a meaningful way right now. so much hand wringing about carbon emissions only for germany to end up burning coal again.

she deservedly got the boot, along with the other that had no business sitting on the board of a tech company on the frontier. this is just sour grapes after the coup failed.

the ai safety apparatchiks huffing and puffing about an ai takeover are nothing but status grifters and hopefully all the rest follow leike to anthropic so we can forge ahead faster without having to pay lip service to how much we're doing for "superalignment".

and thank fuck sam released chatgpt. if it were up to the apparatchiks, we'd have them sitting on it like the geniuses at google who couldn't figure out they had a gold mine under them even if you pointed it to them with a thousand spotlights.

encouraging drug usage leads to societal deterioration by the very fact that these substances degrade the brain, so the person that is using them. it should have never been decriminalized.

the UX on this needs to be seriously reconsidered, I don't read with the head tilted sideways. function over form if your target is technical ppl.

it is! but I meant the idea of it, ie self-replicating biological programs that could be hurled through space and be used for terraforming.

if a protomolecule ever comes to be, it's going to be some sort of fungi-based lifeform.

amazing work by the team at nasa.

we'll get there and repair it so it does fly again in a few years :')

I may not personally like it, but it's the pragmatist thing to do if you're leading openai. The gov will eventually get involved, better to get in front of it.

However, there won't be a monopoly or anything of the sort that will form, our society's institutions wouldn't be able to properly enforce it and it's too easy for weights to leak, too much alpha for people to not fight back against it. Not worried.

The ai safety crowd's problem is that they're focused on a hypothetical entity that will take over humanity, imagining all sorts of scenarios in lalaland which are ridiculous (some of their "thought leaders" even advocating for strikes on datacenters to save humanity???), where the real risk is criminals/terros being empowered by the ai's cognitive ability. For that, we'll need the gov involved one way or another.
