I'm pretty sure the days of any government signing any NPT with the US are very over. The trust is broken. I'd rather my government stockpile all the weapons of every sort at this point.
I don't think it has anything to do with echo chambers. It's simply that weak tie relationships are different than close ties, and very valuable. This narrative that we somehow are required to interact with people who are "very different" (often it actually means "offensive to us") is something that seems to be pushed by the US alt-right very hard. I call BS on it.
Being honest about the limitations of AI is not being anti-AI. What a strange opinion.
To address your claim, that shipping speed is more important than code quality, that could be true so long as the code is correct. The problem is that AI can do a prototype reasonably well, but still starts falling down when the system becomes complex enough. When that happens, code quality absolutely matters as a human will need to go through it.
Perhaps in the future AI will have fewer limitations, but today, if you are building a product you want to have a long lifespan, code quality still matters, and so you need to use AI appropriately. The code quality debate isn't even unique to AI, people have debated this for decades with regard to human coders and how value senior vs junior developers are.
I think people often overestimate the effects of these things. It absolutely works for muscle growth but it's not like a steroid or something. Similarly there is enough evidence to suggest that it actually does have some small effect on cognition; I remember a study 10 years ago showing that in people who are creatine deficient (vegans) it improved cognition scores. But it's not going to be a huge effect for someone whose not deficient in some way.
It would actually make sense that as you age and eat less you might get creatine deficient so sure. I don't think it's bullshit, but it's not going to be a huge noticeable effect either.
All of this reminds me of people who don't weight lift "because they don't want to get built." They somehow think you lift some weights and boom you're looking like Arnold. No, it doesn't work that way.
As someone who created and exited a successful AI startup in the past, I'll say it's actually quite different today. Even I don't have the funds to start a foundational model company, and I absolutely wouldn't before my exit either.
While I do believe there may be valid path forward with smaller models, there are still significant financial barriers to entry that didn't exist to the same extent in the past.
This is a ridiculous comment. Science papers always have sections on impact. It's the running with scissors industry types simply chasing the bigger paycheck that don't stop to think.
Any communication, email, sms, etc. on a 3rd party like Gmail that is 180 days old is cleverly considered "abandoned" under that law and can be read without any judicial oversight, no warrant needed. Major services even have portals for law enforcement to just browse away
Congress purposely never updates the law, it's 40 years out of date despite people having years of email, SMS, DMs in their accounts as typical behavior
No, capitalism isn't a mistake, unregulated capitalism is a mistake. The solution is simple, don't let companies merge/acquire after a certain size. Capitalism works when there is a healthy competitive market. It doesn't work when there are 1-3 big companies all fixing prices.
