Eventually lawmakers would adapt to obfuscate their changes so that people wouldn't be able to point their fingers directly at them.. e.g. using accounts run by amorphous groups

Being able to git blame politicians and such would be very useful indeed (at first..) :-)

You should be able to skip the OCR step by grabbing the actual text from the windows via OS APIs, unless your PDFs are scanned and not encoding digital text.

This tool has very tiny quants available for each model, and defaults to the tiny quants, so I'm not so sure you... tried it?

:/ The celebration of loss of rigor does seem like revealed preference.

It is clear that at the limit, machines will be more capable in nearly every way. I suppose there might be some room for a few exceptions like working around big electromagnets that machines can't get close to... Does that sound great? Is there something else you had in mind which would be reserved for humans and fulfilling?

If you mean attempts like centralized communism - absolutely - and the failure mode should have been obvious from human nature: centralizing great power incentivizes corruption.

We don't fully know the failure modes of every alternative yet, but that doesn't mean powerful central governments + capitalism is the best alternative.

LLMs have much better cognitive empathy than most humans have limbic+cognitive empathy - the therapists will also be automated - friction like licensing bodies will slow it down but not stop it.

Yes but same should have been true of animals and humans as a whole did not afford dignity or value to animals. Maybe we will get a taste of our own medicine this time.

Because the capitalists have very big guns and a monopoly on violence.

Its very easy to imagine a better world.

Its much harder to imagine the Scrooges in power willfully giving it up so that we can build that better world.

And doom3.exe or quake3.exe for GPU drivers :)

Yes across all devices (mobile, PC, etc.). If it's a performance issue then it's one of those "happy accidents" that is a bug in their favor. Either they don't care about quality or they really like money more than quality, but no reason it can't be both.

> This seems highly unlikely to be a problem. Most of the interesting/dangerous models are too big to fit in a single GPU instance. Once you have to spread across "normal" networking, performance will be crippled. Then there's the problem of billing...

This... just... doesn't matter. There are ways to scale horizontally at the expense of latency.. token/sec may drop dramatically, but then you just make millions of slow instances and in aggregate, you're back in action as a very powerful coordinated swarm...

Scalar Monomania (profit maximization in this case) is the root of so much evil :/

Can you elaborate? I don't think this is a well known topic at all
