The benchmarks are not ideal.

I like them for computer games and hardware. But yeah, generally functional capabilities are much more important.

FYI whenever you all say “CCP” you sound like Tom Cotton and whatever you say next has mostly lost any credibility.

Better not trust xAI then

Was anybody suggesting that we should trust xAI?

Related: Aaron Swartz (RSS, Creative Commons, Reddit, Markdown) was charged with unauthorized computer access and pirating copyrighted academic articles.

They threw the book at him. He was charged and faced a maximum of 50 years in prison.

OpenAI committed very similar crimes on a much larger scale, yet the most they will see is civil litigation.

Insiders have called it the largest theft of labor ever in history[1].

In the USA, corporations enjoy constitutional protections, the right to free speech etc, yet they are rarely if ever charged with crimes. For examples, see how the courts handle:

* large scale systematic wage theft by corporations vs petty theft by an individual,

* negligence infecting a 10k Americans with HIV by selling known-to-be-contaminated blood products (Bayer)

>They threw the book at him. He was charged and faced a maximum of 50 years in prison.

But they offered him 4 months in a plea deal? You could argue they "threw the book at him" when he tried to take this to trial, but it's misleading to claim they did so initially.

What was done to Swartz was terrible. That said there are some really clear differences. Swartz acted like he understood that he was breaking the law. OpenAI acted like it was a mistake from the first second.

Sadly they forgot comprehensions, one of the most elegant features of CoffeeScript.

The didn't forget. JavaScript had them as a Firefox extension but dropped them due to incompatibility in the standard:

Others have posted that this datacenter has not yet "come online" and that the water usage is low because it is not yet running at its full potential.

Isn't most of the water use by a data center consumed during construction for concrete?

I’d wager that dividing evaporative water by construction water reaches 5 orders of magnitude over its lifetime.

And so this "leak" could be a way of diverting attention from the issue now. And later when the datacenter comes online no one cares because it's already been "revealed".

I’ve been waiting for some kind of steering mode.

Imagining a mode where the agent is very transparent about its direction and process, and I can passively interject at any time to steer the outcome, without having to wait my turn or hard-interrupt.

Warren was a 1980s Republican who did legal work on behalf of major corporations including Big Oil vultures.

She stayed in the race for Super Tuesday in 2020 rather than consolidating the progressive vote for Sanders.

Right before, her campaign accepted millions in funding from billionaires after promising not to. Her comment was roughly, as soon as others stop taking billionaire money, I will stop.

A materialist might imagine consciousness is made up of constituent parts, like the organs of perception and the cells that make up those organs.

So perhaps you are a constituent part of the larger consciousness, and you feel your part of it (e.g. your roles and relationships in society)

From my understanding Chinese companies are pushing for open global cooperation on AI, as well as Meta.

Only the US sees this as a competition, new space race, Cold War, etc.

So effectively, trying to undercut their competitor to reduce its wealth and power?
