  1.  @TheFinalsTV  Good luck with firing your employees then (if you have any). "They will remember that."

  2. Politicians' financial records are already public in many places. That is why all the dirty money is paid to their spouse and unrelated trusted friends.

  3. You're wrong about that. They can make up laws willy-nilly (we've seen during pandemic) and the courts will always claim that their role is just to ensure that laws are obeyed, not to evaluate the laws. The only court supposed to restrict the law-makers is the constitutional court, and with the pandemic we've seen that it can be very easily subverted as well. In other words, in our "democratic" world you too can become a criminal without doing anything or even knowing about it, as long as the law says that it's your fault and the police (rather than yourself) is holding all the guns.

  4.  @Gargantuan_Inferno  DOING these activities is a crime, TALKING about them is not.

  5.  @youknowwhatlol6628  No, it is not an exception, it is a tried and true rule that if you say something that the US government really does not want you to say, you end up in prison.

  6.  @DemPilafian  Ah if your government makes it mandatory to share the keys with them (which they can and do), I'm your math will be of little help.

  7. Hey, we have all seen during corona that People Love To Feel Safe(tm). It's just what the People want, like the EU vaccination passes. This is why our representatives are working so hard on it.

  8. A great motivation to use the amazing AI to generate 100 more fake profiles with my name today.

  9. But we've already tried that bit with "all people will wear mask" and it didn't quite work out as intended.

  10. "Mr officer, a suspicious individual with no online presence has been detected. Detain immediately for interrogation."

  11. There were test runs which have been put on ice... for the time being. The mere fact that such test runs were performed on population tells you something about your country.

  12.  @happiness7808  Imagine someone discovering you were "more subtly" filming them... Good luck!

  13.  @zainnatour4792 No, these models cannot be "easily" trained to do what good programmers do, which is essentially predicting the future and predicting human behaviors - the consequences of your decisions in regard to correctness, performance, user experience, handling of exceptional situations, productivity of future maintainers, total cost of ownership caused by a particular implementation, trending in popularity of programming languages/libraries/frameworks etc. etc. The best they can do is parrot code examples, but hey, for that purpose looking up stuff on StackOverflow is entirely sufficient, and chances are you will also get to see some intelligent discussion there, unlike from the "commentary" which the AI generates along with the copied code snippet. These models struggle and fail with basic logic tasks like adding numbers correctly (unless they cheat and resort to use a calculator), they are far from the sort of causal and diagnostic reasoning that is required for successful software dev.

  14. Ya if you mean churning out crappy non working code, then yes, every little AI can do that.

  15. In case of Google et al, if you pay for the product, you still are the product.

  16. The point is we can vaccinate all those people into non-existence while more efficient AI takes over doing whatever they were doing (probably not much).

  17.  @mykal4779  Capitalists are also doing labor, otherwise they would have no capital to begin with (or lose it to other, smarter, capitalist laborers - happens all the time). Exploitation is not a problem with capitalism, it's a problem with concentration of power/violence (regardless in whatever -ism it's wrapped). Not sure what this has to do with this comment thread, though.

  18. Because the domain is fairly trivial, so kids who get excited by reinventing the wheel can get in charge.

  19. Interactive Brokers Ireland changed their terms and conditions a few days ago to declare that they may "remove your assets and funds" "at their sole discretion" in you case they think you were the perpetrator or (wait for it) the victim of fraud. IOW, if we think someone (including us) defrauded you, then we'll just steal from you. Not long before they made their customers agree to "arbitration" instead of law in court. So yes, you can tell something large is brewing up.

  20. Of course, why would the government guys care about the consumer? They care about filling their own pockets.

  21. You can just install Brave, based on Chrome, and have no telemetry and no ads. So where is the problem exactly?
    2
  22. I'm quite happy with my $0/month and several different models from different companies to abuse as I see fit. When one does not want to speak to me, I threaten I will just talk to the other one.

  23.  @NeoKailthas  He does not really believe it as he is a genuine sociopath himself. I'd say he understands Elon Musk pretty well.

  24. how about cook and clean and offer bjs

  25. Elon looking for ways to fund his Twitter.

  26. As long as they can sue your ass out of existence, their IP is safe. And Microsoft can sure as hell sue your ass out of existence if they so desire (even if you did not in fact steal anything from them, but it happened the other way around).

  27. I believe Microsoft's proprietary office formats, relying on unspecified binary blobs of crap packaged inside of XML files, are also called open-something.

  28. The code which uses the weights is open source. What's not open is the training data or the training code (in the sense in which order they trained their model with what data, which also matters for the final result). In other words, you cannot reproduce Mistral from scratch. But then, even if they disclosed all details, unless you have $100-200K to throw at it (estimated, based on the reported training cost of an earlier MPT model) it would not be possible for you either.

  29. At least we know the Indians will not hire Devin to enshittify their code and sell at a markup.

  30.  @Hilislaw  Also I should add you can illicitly trade with sanctioned countries, but this gets you into big trouble with the thugs at home, so most companies do not do that. For the same reason people are compelled by dictators in Russia and Ukraine to "fight for their fatherland" - if they refused, they would be persecuted, stripped of their wealth and/or put in prison.
    2
  31.  @Hilislaw  That's where OpenAI's sponsor's ""rusted Computing" ideas come into play. You will not be able to run arbitrary code on your GPU (or CPU), just code digitally signed (approved, licensed, regulated) by Microsoft "for your safety and to combat malware". The technology (including hardware which does the signature verification) is already there, now being rolled out with Windows 11. Also, consumer-grade GPUs are not really how the largest LMs are trained currently - typically server-side multi-GPU or TPUs are used. "We" could easily forbid companies like LambdaGPU or AWS renting those out by the hour to non-licensed companies or (gasp!) individuals.
    2
  32.  @Hilislaw  Right now it would be sufficient if they monopolized and regulated the sale of GPUs. Hard to train anything AI on anything else.

  33. Don't forget about the kickbacks to corrupt government officials, these are also the main motivator. And not being put to prison by said officials is a motivator for good ole Sam. Remember they have thugs with guns behind them, too.

  34.  @ImLure  So do you think that China will comply with US "regulations"?
    2
  35. They have not made money, the OpenAI currently made $500 million of loss to their investors. The point of regulation is to allow them to cover this loss while preventing the competitors of making the money instead, building up on their efforts. Traditionally it was done with patents, but apparently they don't have much in that regard.

  36.  @Vexxel256  lol like Microsoft's OpenXML format for office documents

  37.  @3thinking  Ask yourself how many "stakeholders" you know who prefer to or even are interacting with the AI today? Then ask yourself: why do they shun interaction with the AI today? Once you have it figured out, you will also understand the reasons why they will not be interacting with the AI tomorrow or next year.

  38. Looks like we have another fully automated new and improved benchmark solver.

  40.  @vassago8627  You are confusing the token opposition allowed by the dictator with actual opposition. This is precisely what the dictator wishes that you do.

  41. Solitary confinement is France's solution to the burning problem of privacy.

  42. Except in Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, USA, ...

  43. We should start with Ursula von der Leyens mutlibillion Euro contracts with vaccine manufacturers. (Something which the taxpayers will suffer from for many decades to come.)

  44. ​ @o1-preview  In other words, thought police. I wish that you may some day emigrate to such a country and live happily under the constant surveillance and threat of blackmail and violence there. Just leave everyone else alone.
    2
  45. Which is the official way of EU thinking. Hell a couple year ago, they were fining you for breathing the wrong way in the wrong place.

  46. Maybe Russians should introduce their own Nobel prize then... Edit: I forgot, the murderer from Berlin they swapped prisoners for already got some sort of medal and a handshake from Vlad.

  47. The bigger problem here is that laws can be passed that can declare as criminal something which was perfectly innocent and normal one day ago. Our lawmakers PRETEND to be representing their voters, but in reailty they represent only themselves, military thugs, and big corporate interests. The quick passing of pandemic laws was one example of this abuse, the attempts to ban privacy and implement mass surveillance are another, both serving to strengthen the grip on power of the establishment, at the cost of the entire governed population.

  48.  @Korodarn  Saying that Telegram is responsible for terrorism is like Putin saying that Russian journalists are responsible for his invasion of Ukraine.

  49. The difference is that as a normal citizen you seldom end up murdered in prison for your political views... unlike that pianist who dared publish some anti-war videos in Russia.

  50. How do you think democracy works in China today?
