Does this company's charter not have language about shutting down the company if it was in humanity's best interest? This is insanely dangerous

Why did Scott Alexander (one of the authors of the original AI 2027 paper) not join/contribute to this one?

Reminds me of some of the scenarios from https://europe2031.ai.

how much does this chip help with inference speed?

For those curious, this is a report about firings from the last year. Not a new round of layoffs:

Oracle shed about 21,000 roles globally in the last year as the US technology giant reshapes its business around artificial intelligence (AI), the firm's latest annual report shows.

"The Bell curve is a fact of life. The blacks on average score 85 per cent on IQ and it is accurate, nothing to do with culture. The whites score on average 100. The Orientals score higher"

"These are realities that, if you do not accept, will lead to frustration because you will be spending money on wrong assumptions and the results cannot follow. If I tell Singaporeans – we are all equal regardless of race, language, religion, culture, then they will say, 'Look, I'm doing poorly. You are responsible.' But I can show that from British times, certain groups have always done poorly, in mathematics and in science."

"If you don't reproduce yourself, what happens? Next generation you will have a less capable generation to run the country... We must go closer to the evidence of the experts, which shows that about 80 per cent of a person's makeup is nature, inherited, and only 20 per cent nurture, environment and training."

If Powell hadn't been a racist shit, he could have been as effective as Lee Kwan Yew was

How do you compare Powell's "racism" and LKY's views on race and intelligence? By nearly all definitions of racism, Yew was a racist as well

Apple is the only company doing this sort of processing

At what point does this company undo their name change that was aligned with them pivoting to the metaverse and virtual reality?

That's relevant to the future prospects of the product, but most of the comments are bemoaning the current and previous state of Dropbox. Just seems unrelated to me

Why are the HN comments about how Dropbox's business is not doing well? I don't think there's any indication that Drew is stepping down because of that?

Where is a source for either of these extraordinary claims?

The reason people don't like Spirit has less to do with the airplanes and more to do with the typical Spirit passenger. Most of modern life in America is an elaborate series of choices to maximize the distance between yourself and Spirit airlines passengers. All the usual euphemisms apply: 'good school districts', 'safe suburban neighborhoods', etc

and a truly 21st-century monolith-microkernel hybrid whose specific design is a mystery to public science

What is this a reference to? Fuchsia?

Spying on and sabotaging weapons development of foreign adversaries is a completely normal government function

Are you claiming that Pakistani nurses and doctors are not educated on the dangers of needle reuse?

This happened before with GPT-2 being touted as "too dangerous to release"[0] at the time by OpenAI. I don't think that means every model will be safe to release in the future, but nothing I've read about Mythos seems like it's going to be different this time.

I'm actually somewhat surprised the OS fully boots when it's not connected to the expected vehicle peripherals

Probably a reference to shows like 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'

At what point does this company un-do their name change to Meta?

This is quite literally the end of open source. projects will find themselves in the position of making their test suites private to avoid being sherlocked like this

Neither is voting free, what's the argument here?

Why should anyone at the Department of War or the general public care what non-citizen employees of these companies think?

Just me or does this seems incredibly frightening to anyone else? Imagine printing a misaligned LLM this way and never being able to update the HW to run a different (aligned) model

how would we actually objectively measure a model to see if it is AGI if not with benchmarks like arc-AGI?

And Chinese/Korean workers being fired while American workers are being hired by their companies would absolutely be correct to see their jobs being offshored

But that's removing a component that's critical for the test. We as users/benchmark consumers care that the service as provided by Anthropic/OpenAI/Google is consistent over time given the same model/prompt/context

Which is an entirely different dynamic than what the person I responded to was calling for

"Exchanging goods and services for money to a locale" is not a colonial model.

I, a strawberry farmer in Florida, should have no obligation to create an office of locals in every geographic location I sell strawberries in.
