Seems some AI they did invent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49243397

By your measure anyone unable to build EUV lithography machines without ASML help is doomed. EU could easily corner the market and shut them all off. No more NVIDIA.

Let’s grow the pie, shall we?!


there is truth to the scarcity of EUV solutions, although I am more radical, I don't think there's really scarcity of ANYTHING except real estate, physical or metaphorical. that said this little rinky dink patent... Mistral is not ASML. Never was, never will be. you are welcome to read into the dynamics of EU capital markets.

honestly the craziest thing to me is that VC people in the EU, they say, let's grow the pie, and when you look at their little decks with their little flags next to the portraits, it's french, german, italian, spanish, all piling into the same 40 or so companies, which will 110% list in the US in order to exit. Meanwhile, EU member Poland produces tons of entrepreneurs, despite no Polish flags in those growth fund decks, and its best people just leave to the US and raise money there and make fabulously successful stuff.

so yeah, "grow the pie" except for Poland. EU relitigating the same feuds it has been for centuries.


> Meanwhile, EU member Poland

That's true for every EU country currently. See Docker's history for instance. When you raise your first rounds in the US, you have to incorporate there.


Where to start?

Proud EU citizen here, but boy/gale/other, I have plenty to make fun of ;-)


Clearly the culprit is the person missing supervisor duties. However, AI, or rather how we use AI may well have contributed to the disaster.

Lack of oversight, over reliance and insufficient critical review lead to poor outcomes in any decision making process. Problem is, with AI more people ill-prepared for decision-making make decisions.

I am convinced that this is precisely how AI will cause more and more harm and much earlier than we can imagine.


Clearly well-defined must live in a probability bracket. Only humans demand exactitude.


Calls from law enforcement is laud and clear: BigTech is not doing enough to fight fraud, war and other crimes, they make money from criminals.

Nobody’s yet cared enough to sue them, or their managers at ICC yet. However, eventually an ambitious lawyer will try to make the case, especially if fraud and human trafficking continues to grow like it is.


> at ICC yet.

Want to take bets on whether the US gov wades in if that happens?

The US gov is directly antagonistic to the ICC and will undermine them whenever possible. This would present them another chance.


VW makes money from criminals. So does Verizon. So does Coke.


Hope they don’t rationalize that minimizing paper clips of others is easier and thus do that instead… A more carful person might be scared to even write this on the internet these days, not knowing if it would be the final pin to civilization.


I said thank-you to Sonnet today. You can never be too careful! :)


We are going to be okay.



This made me chuckle, truly. Thank you.


It seems like the author is pitching topological teams and responsible engineer concepts, sprinkled with decision governance.

None of that is really new, but it’s the chaos of silos, narrow decision frames and lack of detailed understanding by decision makers which probably accentuates the adoption of new concepts.


Maybe Musk was right about OpenAI after all?! The ethics are clearly troubling and where something like this pops up there is mich worse that did not made the light of day.


The one time I got to ask Bill a question was probably why Windows didn’t have a “make world” that just works like in FreeBSD. I wonder if he remembered that question during his ordeal.


I wonder if this goes down as AgentGate because clearly HuggingFace was not an isolated incident.

Well worth a material business restriction until an investigation on the root cause by independent parties has concluded and remedial action taken - well, in any other industry but BigTech.
