Reading through Sutskever's deposition is a great example of where the approach to AI mentioned in this post, is failing. The way the world is setup means you need politicians who are hungry for power and willing to do the not so human thing.

Asking for consent to train content, make sure sure AI is "green".. these of idealogical fancies that don't match up to the real world and the winners the folks walking straight over these.

In both cases a smarter model should be help to help offset the greenhouse gas effects and then some when used to discover new materials etc. Hallucinations can be managed, detected and corrected in most cases when doing research and in many cases are just treated as failed attempts as it is easier and cheaper to just ask the model to try again.

The only idea worth chasing here is a community driven and open source approach.

We have this in may formats... my fave is Ben Goertzel's OpenCog .. but there is more. I think Emad Mustaq is doing something similar with decentralised compute/AI.

Again - all bleeding edge is for profit.. not even OpenAI's idealogical foundation was able to be saved from being turned in to a for profit gig.

It's all about installation.. most folks just can't be bothered to install a different OS then the one their laptop came with. I liken it to the small community of people who tune their cars vs most of the the people who use cars.. just use what they get when they buy.

There is the fact that gaming is a faff with Linux vs something like Microsoft.

It's amazing.. I am a Linux fanboy.. but it's just not a mainstream platform.. and I don't think it will ever be.. and that's OK!

I've heard you have to have some sort of registered person do or sign of your tax returns or something ridiculous like this. Something about an entire industry of tax return specialists or something that exist purely for taxes to be done correctly. Of course the US is massive so it might be some random state maybe or something.

Honestly I see America like a collection of large countries as groups of states almost. They are so different in so many ways.

For those who write content or have anything living off of ad revenue... some interesting points on why Google is so stressed but also how content creators(non video or maybe all content in the near future) or any freemium or free news, info, educational website living off of an attention based economy might be in trouble pretty soon.

If you can't afford to live in London - pretty normal. No one mentions the constant delays, no air-con train and tubes.. changing stations walking the rest of the way.

My commute without delays and everything is on time is about 1hour and 25 mins.. with delays.. you can see how this easily can get close to 2 hours.. delays no transport in the UK.. are almost daily.. it's the only thing they do consistently.

"Let's be 100% honest: you did not spend 4 hours a day commuting pre-WFH. You just didn't." - This comment tells me you're either lucky enough not to have to commute in a big city.. or are rich enough to live in the city you work in.

The title of the article should really be changed to something like:

"How to set yourself up as the great evil that the world needs to challenge."

Unlike North Korea - obliterating China would have huge financial benefits for the rich and war mongers.

One step closer to mutually assured destruction folks - that's all I'm saying. They Super AI couldn't come soon enough frankly.
