there are limitations, a non resident can get a car in for a year, and if it’s plated in Mexico a resident might get a similar permit.

Historically, at the time of mass unionization there was but one major employer in many towns, so your cartel is needed to counter the monopoly power.

Prior to industrialization the closest you got to this was feudalism.

Perhaps, but due to the slop nature of OpenAI proofs, the proofs remain unaccepted by mathematicians, which leads one to question how many are valid proofs and how many are nonsense. If we see that they are nonsense, then OpenAI has wasted a huge amount of effort in mathematics. Famously the ABC conjecture proof of 500 pages is still unaccepted despite having been written in 2012.

Already people are seeing that the lean proofs provided don’t match the paper and lean proofs have not been provided for all paper proofs.

Seems like your company is irrational, but that’s almost the norm. They aren’t measuring the added value of $200/month over $50/month and they have some xenophobia about Chinese tech, even if it’s just the open weights that are Chinese.

It’s been blocked at companies I have worked at. In one case it briefly worked but thereafter WSL lost network access.

And quantum mechanics are what other than random probabilities?

So your argument is that scale is also necessary? I can see that, we don’t expect that a single neuron is human intelligence.

>isn't sufficiently well understood to tell us how close the software neural network is to being practically equivalent. The odds of consciousness emerging from the same neural network that gave us LLMs without some sort of theoretical breakthrough seems very small.

First, if we are looking at risk we need to assign some probabilities to this. If it’s not well understood, how can we say it is very small?

Secondly, do we need consciousness to have AGI? Do we even need AGI to pose a risk to humanity? We already accept that unconscious things have a capability of wiping out humanity, whether that be a famine, pandemic, solar superflare, meteor, or volcanic eruption.

Unfortunately that was one of his few wrong predictions, that is would he so far in the future we’d need cryostasis to see it.

Right, AI had to get it from somewhere.

One difference is that the premium copilot has access to company files and those on your onedrive, whereas the non premium version requires you to upload files.

At a trade show, I met a company that was advertising a feature as powered by Claude. I asked an employee what that meant, as it seemed unlikely, and he then didn’t know how answer so he introduced me to the CEO. The CEO said that the ad meant that Claude now writes all of their code including that new feature. They are now working on having Claude handle their QA process. I wondered if any of the devs were at the booth or if the employee I spoke to first was a dev who knew it was bs.

There actions are fundamentally inconsistent with a group who believes AI is fundamentally dangerous - they are developing it and releasing it out into the world with the knowledge that it cannot be controlled by their current alignment techniques.
