Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just… Ban Google if they don’t comply?

Makes sense to me. Most people probably don’t want the hassle of having to upgrade a non lts release. I’m still on 22.04 on the machine I use for work.

When I’m curious about a language, I usually first build some implementation of a perceptron or basic neural network, as well as a (usually very bad) text editor.

I feel like once I have those behind me, I’ve got some fundamentals and can dive deeper into what makes the specific language actually special :)

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

This is a very good point. It makes me a bit uneasy, even though it is still better than driverless cars. Aside from this, I also have mixed feelings about the fact that every pound being put into development and purchasing of these busses could have been put into the expansion of existing routes…
And it’s not even something that would drastically improve my experience if it was fully successful. Busses are already one of the safest modes, being safer than trains in several countries. Maybe I’ve missed something and someone can correct me, but this feels like throwing money at technology for technology’s sake.

I mean… a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/

I’m nervous about where this will head. There is just so much potential for abuse, from hackers that just want money to state actors to oppressive regimes. Yes the data is local, but the way it’s summarized, pre-classified and apparently nowhere near adequately filtered opens so many potential vectors. And Microsoft seem still adamant about pushing this :/

Unfortunate, but understandable :(
I wish we could rely on good faith with something like this, but it seems the only way is to block as much tracking as possible by force.

That repo is much more active than I would have thought 😅 Can’t wait to see this somewhere in production

I mean… yeah. I’m not in the USA and I will probably also feel the effects of whatever tariffs are placed. It seems like he’s already preparing excuses for when things don’t pan out. (Not to mention the immigration issue and so on)

I will never understand why this place is idolized by so many people…

Maybe I’m weird but this actually looks good. Might make something similar later :D

Someone more versed in political science than I can correct me here, but I’m pretty sure direct democracy and true democracy would be synonyms. But that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t still be a need to fight back against antidemocratic forces. In any system where the laws can change, so too can the holders of power, and people are very capable of voting against their self interest. Complacency is, unfortunately, never an option.

I’m afraid of what this will mean for similar conspiracy theorists in other countries :( I’m very afraid that none of us are safe from people like this.

Ty so much. I’ve already made some progress :) Hope yours goes well

I’ll be taking this, thank you :D

Idk what a NEA is, but I feel this. I have a big client meeting tomorrow and I haven’t started the powerpoint :(

This is great! I love the classic elements combined with modern features like the search in the menu. Firefox looks surprisingly good with the theme too :)
