"We have a Mythos as well!!!"

my personal guess is that the opportunities for anonymity on the Internet will shrink until mothers no longer are forced to have “the talk” when their daughters get their first mobile phone. As the parent of a daughter, I am totally on board with that.

depends on the age but.. they've probably discovered all kinds of shit already or heard about it from others

not to mention how little it costs compared to the actual GPU silicon

You hit the nail on the head!

why...?

yes, because this is how transformers work, when you introduce "don't do x" x is also entered as a pattern that is more likely to be repeated than if not mentioned at all

i would take this every single time over some Claude rewrite slop

I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually more common than one might think

the EU thinks otherwise

because "in ze yurop we don't need ze AC!" and here we are now....

I have severe ADHD, I remember enough to remember how it is. maybe it's because I'm in my 20s.. at least the feeling/vibe and knowing how "it's for your own good!!!!" type of stuff actually sounds like

but still, imo I haven't changed that much. less risk taking, more worries, more wisdom (somewhat)

maybe for some people they really are super different when they're younger but for me it's been kind of a linear path after a certain point

+ don't quote me on this but from what I know, ADHD affects mostly short term and working memory, but long term memory, especially significant events/etc. can be quite well retained, which matches my experience

At some point around age 9,you will need to decide if violence and some adult themes, are tolerable (Dragon Wing series).

I remember playing GTA 4 when I was like 7 or 8. good times... not much books though.

but like... avoid buying due to sarcasm...? what?

it's like node_modules but cooler

ask an LLM or something, they seem to get the point just fine

what's the value of these AI generated posts?

it takes more value than it gives you as you need to verify everything and hold everything under scrutiny

I'd rather just not read at all

this is what naive adults think, don't you remember how it was when you were a kid?

I seriously, I feel like so many people just somehow magically forget their entire childhoods, maybe selectively?

I lack the ability to lie to myself like that unfortunately

ouch... I get that it's a simple concept but darn it really does seem like ctrl c ctrl v lmao

thanks for the heads up

so you think if there were barriers then there would be no European companies or what?

my point still stands, the problem is, now instead of Google saying "we can't do anything about it" any lobbying/political group can go and say "well you could just ban it, does this mean you approve of this app?"

it's like how credit card companies can shut down porn sites overnight by citing their terms of service

that is most of the EU legislation

making/operating companies, getting access to banking, hiring, etc..

all those things are catered towards multinationals by endless bureaucracy and requirements that need consultants/lawyers

it's by design

same for CIA/NSA employees/contractors right?

don't forget the renaming of Vertex AI to Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

so you could have e.g. Claude Opus 4.8 on Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

makes sense, right?

why on earth would anyone buy that shit if you can buy a macbook pro that literally looks and feels like art vs. a plastic windows laptop?

it used to be that Apple was the pricier option but I guess not anymore

this is something the EU would love, it's part of the whole Transparency thing where you dox yourself to everyone

HNers (especially Americans) are super naive and think the EU is some bastion of freedom. no. it just wants to be a huge nanny state but in a wholesome way, where you can do whatever you want as long as it's approved

hundred billion?

I'd usually say it'd be far fetched

but I can totally see Google banning developers and removing their apps for political reasons, where some lobbying group bombs them with emails

because with this they're explicitly saying they're now choosing who gets to be in or out, there's no way for them to say we can't do anything about it

I do think this would improve security, but I also think it's sort of a Trojan horse to lock down the ecosystem

well they can swat you, order pizza, send you packages (who knows with what inside), spread false info about you if you've given out more info etc...

all it takes is one guy who gets too mad for some reason

and it's gonna be a lot more costly for you to do anything about it vs. that guy who gets to be completely anonymous about it

I just don't see how with the whole open weight system this situation would happen or that it'd be likely enough to warrant this

in terms of privacy, yes that's a real application, but someone taking it all away? I don't see it happening.

it's not an OS or a device, it's just a box/thing that runs a model, it's really commodity stuff we're talking about

more realistic concern would be that the open labs wouldn't be able to compete in the future thus development ends, but that means you can't host models that don't come out so...

again maybe I misunderstood but I just don't see why this would be worth it just for that one concern

if you need to ensure that, then just back up the model and buy hardware if the need arises
