Yes

Couldn't have said it better

One example would be Proton EasyAntiCheat RunTime

Pitching in to say that there is some proton stuff to enable the draconian anticheats to work on linux if one is keen on running such a thing.

You nailed it with the resource curse.

It's not even poor people, in some "advanced economies" we're getting to a point where income means very little, and inheriting means a lot. I've only seen such a lack of empathy in teenagers or silver spoons.

Thanks, will try to give it a read this weekend. Would you say that diffusion is the architectural change that opened up CO for neural nets? Haven't followed this particular niche in a while

Using neural networks to solve combinatorial or discrete problems is a waste of time imo, but I'd be more than happy if somebody could convince me of the opposite.

I hope they don't use Hungary as the scapegoat to pass this kind of stuff, the fact that something like Chat Control is even discussed is gross already.

If we manage to harness the ego energy transpiring from some people working on "AI" we should be halfway there!

This feels like the biggest part of the news to me

I feel like the gist of this could have been "rent seekers bad", something I'd strongly agree with. A non-trivial part of society is checked out of real work and milking others dry because of existing conditions or acquired leverage.

Damn, is there some SAAS like notion or an Obsidian plugin to be able to take notes like this?

As somebody from Europe I can't agree more about the moral superiority thing. Feels like Europe has cultivated its own version of "saving face" during the last decades.

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact could also be considered an integration of German and Russian geo-political interests to achieve a lasting peace in the region. Just surrender.
