Bento is a discontinued database application for Mac OS X made by the former FileMaker Inc., since renamed to Claris.

Because you will get sued by openai/anthropic

I know people gnash their teeth at that, but I'm pretty convinced the ass-pain associated with getting a data center constructed on the planet with all the NIMBY stuff will be will incentivize space data centers too.

You can build solar panels practically anywhere with enough daylight. Space data centers will never make any sense and it's clearly bait for people who will believe anything.

Seems like the appropriate place for a non-violent offender.

I don't think viewing the night sky is necessary for "human flourishing"

Perhaps the last event was one million years ago and we are now (proverbially) 'due'.

Ironically this is a great example of the gambler's fallacy.

Who is going to invest in your company when they could invest in the company that just makes the drugs you invent without the overhead of R&D?

If Julian Assange had taken his privacy principles and built a social network instead of leaking government secrets things might have turned out differently.

Moore's law isn't as relevant with parallel workloads. If you can keep building more lanes you don't have to worry about making faster cars.

LLMs don't get a free pass because they're also so good at writing typescript for beige CRUD apps and bedtime stories.

Plenty of useful things get free passes to be dangerous. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of accidental deaths in 11 states, but we don't ban cars because they're dangerous. There's plenty of safety features, but we acknowledge and accept that people will die. People like to pretend that they won't sacrifice safety for convenience, but they continue to do it time and time again.

I would go to this museum.

Surprising that there are still people who don't think LLMs qualify as AI

Pre-built PCs are the way to get a deal right now. The price of individual components is much more expensive than buying something from Micro Center or one of the Chinese integrators.

I'm not sure why you're setting slavery aside. It's my whole point. Do you think the Union should have conceded the civil war because "you can't force other people to change their morals?"

The history of social pressure would disagree with you.

Having a libertarian stance on morality is great unless its actually important to take a stand. It's the difference between "I would never own slaves" and being an abolitionist. I think it's pretty reasonable to expect others to agree and align with my personal morals around slavery.

I'm not going to watch a 3 hour video, but custom PCs are a tiny fraction of the consumer hardware market. Also, the custom PC market is struggling partly due to people overstating the price of RAM. It's not like the cost of building a PC has doubled. RAM and SSDs were typically some of the least expensive components in a complete build. Looking at prebuilt PCs from iBuyPower, a pre-built that would have cost $2000 last July now costs a whopping $2100 with the same components.

They have literally destroyed markets that aren't coming back anytime soon (consumer hardware)

Ram is more expensive it's not the apocalypse for consumer hardware.

"Oh well, they fucked our economy long term. Guess they're just human."

Not sure what this is a reference to.

This really says something about society, can't even imagine leaving your house without a smartphone.

National success is about creating a nation of basketball players, not just a single all-star team.

How would they know you went out to the woods?

That was Meta. The judge ruled in the Anthropic case that they infringed because they downloaded pirated copies of books that they could have otherwise purchased legally, and for retaining copies of those books as a central library.

In Bartz v. Anthropic the judge ruled that Anthropic making a digital copy of a printed book and then discarding the physical book was not infringing when used to a train a model.

This is contradicted by the amount of AI use at top tech firms.

An acronym is an abbreviation, and they specifically do not spell out the very first acronym on the page the first time they use it.

This page has 5 abbreviations that are not spelled out before you even get to the body of the article.

This seems more like a failure of management and process than a problem inherent to autonomy.

It very much depends on what kind of company you work for. You could never run a startup like this, for example.

You can't just burn money in a pit to get the best AI model out. Undoubtedly some of the smartest people in the world are working on frontier AI.

And you think with all of this money they are employing idiots?
