What a refreshing, sober take.

I would add that the notion of AI safety as preventing systemic risk is one part marketing copy, one part evangelization. Individual labs prioritizing safety does not stop a group from training without it, or ablating it out and distributing it.

> Why the heck would anyone want to use macOS willingly, where the window manager and file browser are both complete unconfigurable trash.

If individuals had power to allocate funding or not to public research projects rather than get a blanket tax, there would be a lot more conventional marketing in the public sector as well.

Of course not. I'm so tired of the chess analogy. It was always a game and it was always performative.

Research is fundamentally different. We are seeing the erosion of specific needs for thinking at depth. AI is the automobile for the mind. There will 100% be undesirable consequences and selective atrophy of cognitive abilities once prized. This is a loss. There's no getting the cat back in the bag at this point so long as the objective dimension of work, as in object opposed to subject, is held as the most important.

SWEs felt this same crisis late last year. Now it's the mathematicians. They won't be the last.

Denial of service is the established term. Hammering their API (reviewer committees) would be an informal one

I would guess that they will release a folio that can accommodate one. If not, a competitor certainly will.

They pay at cost though, not the public API pricing.
