My prediction:
A couple of cool and interesting projects maintained by modern day trappist monks. A couple of insular communities that are intolerant to views that don't align with their own.
Majority of the world will move on and acquiesce to the new ways of working, which is writing code primarily through the use of llms.
There will be plenty of witch hunts and public stonings along the way.
Sounds cool. Your repo might be private, I can't view it.
Except you are forgetting that in reality, HuggingFace switched to a open weights model and fixed their system.
Plenty of saftyists in this thread arguing the exact opposite
Almost like the company has no credibility with respect to its safety claims.
This is very interesting to me. Care to share your process?
perhaps you could outline the direct action you are taking.
Add this to the pile of consent manufacturing pieces for regulating open weights models.
It's not good enough for these bay area founders and private labs to have siphoned off the worlds information.
If you think Sam Altman is as dangerous to democracy as the CCP controlling the world, you're part of the problem.
If you think in a way that (we) don't agree with, then you're a (communist, terrorist, ccp sympathizer).
Download all the weights you can now. If these folks get their way, it might be a decade before they're accessible again.
But at least the economy won't have crashed, what with all of the people that can afford groceries and a decent way of life.
What hegemony are you speaking of? The kind that can consistently keep a straight open?
It's in the title of the website you're commenting on every single day.
Because anthropic believes they are morally superior, and that belief is transferred into into the rlhf process.
Seeing a handful of these articles in publications such as nyt gives me an awful spidey sense that we're watching the consent manufacturing machine get spun up to ban open weights models.
If Xi doesn't want models exported, he's not having a legal delegation go to the supreme court of China to fight for his ruling.
"Sorry you can only ship fable to American citizens"
This just dropped: https://huggingface.co/baidu/Unlimited-OCR
Which can run comfortably on 12gb of vram. I gave it a whirl and it does seem pretty competitive. I wonder how that compares for your usecase
Why downvote me for an opinion?
Anyways, I'll take a liar over a zealot anyday.
As far as I'm aware, this was only predicted by play acting effective altruists who tend to have a histrionic outlook around further developments of large language models.
I'll take Sam over amodei.
It's a both are bad choice.
Every time I call it out, I get downvoted here. But it legitimately has markers of a psychological illness.
I agree that we should protect kids online against authoritarian surveillance state policy.
Democrats as a rule run against the foil of the Republican party. And the majority of supporters seem to think that this is completely acceptable. The best strategy they could come up with is, "just vote blue", which is just pathetically hilarious when you think about it. Almost as if to say, "look, it doesn't even matter what our policies are, the other policies are so bad that you just vote for us."
So it's not surprising. Democrats policies are the rainbow Raytheon logo during pride month.

Please stop posting ai slop in response to whatever it is you think I'm arguing about
Greater wealth inequality. More authoritarian policies as climate refugees from the global south put pressure on classically liberal governments.
Less freedom of movement. Most of the Western world living in a surveillance state.
Climate breakdown manifesting itself with bigger and more frequent wildfires, floods and hurricanes. Potentially the first sign of the AMOC collapse.
An economy begining to become untethered from labor. Feudal conditions from a rent seeking class of supranational corporations . Social stratification across ownership: most people don't own anything at all.
"can I please have 1 million dollars?"
Oh so you can't prove that you didn't murder someone, though many people are saying it.
Sorry, I don't debate things with criminals.
A credit system that determine your upward mobility?
Yep it sucks. This is the consequence of what these technofeudalists are bringing to the table.
I was banned from open ai under similar circumstances, right after they scaled out their payments system. I was paying through Google play, and one day account was banned. The process of appeal was crazy. First, they told me they couldn't tell me what I did wrong. Then, they said, even though they couldn't tell me what I did wrong, if I apologized for doing it they would consider the appeal. Finally, they told me that they confirmed it was due to suspicious payment activity.
Just for shits and giggles, I sent a follow up email once a month for over a year.
What's interesting, is my developer account is tied to a phone number. So, even though I can still pay openai under a different email (same card!) I can't access the developer account because that number is accounted for.
There are a lot of people on this site that want to be skeptical and say, "hmmm there has to be more to this story." There really isn't. Unless you consider that I said disparaging things about Sam Altman in a chat to chatgpt once, maybe that's it.
This is the world these companies are building for us: absolute rent seeking behavior towards the in/put group. And if you're in the out group, you can eat shit.
Most if not all brokerages allow you to do that. I just opened up my fidelity and etrade to check.
That doesn't make it right perse, but your moralisation at the end becomes more weak. Robinhood is only as "truly vile" as all of wall street.
And anyway, options can play a decent role in financial strategy, most retailers don't use these instruments appropriately. To quote The Big Short, "this is wall street dr bury, if you offer us free money we're going to take it."
Oh, is that literally the case? Thanks for literally explaining it to me.
We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology. [1]
First, I want to state up top that I don't personally agree with any legislation that seeks to ban or limit access to frontier llms.
Having said that, it's difficult to not have a somewhat glib reaction to this news. Surely, if leadership believes what is written above then they are happy with this outcome. Ignoring all perverse incentives or potential market manipulation that might be going on from this current administration, on it's face it's a genies wish granted, "your models are so dangerous that the world should pause development? done. You may start pausing development."
