Is a "race for publication" any different from "healthy competition"?

I guess not quite in how you're framing it, because you take issue with the tool stealing intelligent from the user of the tool.

But how do we confirm these advances depended on data leakage?

Cool idea. Where would I get one?

Some good points here except:

It is outrageous to say an early stage company giving inaccurate diagnostics "is like" giving patients incompatible blood transfusions.

10-15% of people who get the wrong blood die. People who get inaccurate diagnostics get scared.

Very different and this undermines the credibility of your otherwise valid point.

I'd be curious to see whether these models can create new forms of unbreakable encryption themselves!

Sounds cool. Needs network effects of lots of highly rated stores to succeed, I think.

What evidence shows he wanted this? Why would he play the victim internally?

both can be true:

-the US gov't is stupid and overly aggressive and absurd

-Anthropic for reasons no one can quite conceive keeps describing every product release of theirs as an imminent threat to civilization (and simultaneously keeps pushing the market forward as fast as they possibly can).

I'm sympathetic with this sentiment but surely it's pretty rare the law actually gets involved? Our kids play outside a lot and no cops have ever raised an eyebrow (except for at our crazy drunk of a neighbor, where eyebrow raising is appropriate).

How does growth potential relate to legal enforcement?

I'm more on your side than most but surely you don't think zero antitrust enforcement is best for our country?

I started going in 2002 and have friends who have gone every year since then.

There has been a meme that burning man sucks now and used to be better that entire time.

That doesn't mean the meme is false. It definitely has changed. There's an article in sfgate today that quotes the head of the Death Guild (Thunderdome) camp as saying something like, do people want to carry on the traditions their parents had, or invent their own?

I thought that was a great question. Both are valid paths.

Hmm. I have a decent shed outside my house and my current office (in the house) is decent but when kids get home it gets a bit harder.

I wonder if I can convert an existing shed...
