Can't the US producers sell oil outside of the United States, where it's more expensive, thus generating more profits for their shareholders, thus creating a shortage in the United States, thus dragging the prices up to the global equilibrium, thus dissipating any effects of the US producing more oil than it consumes?

I engraved mine for two practical reasons — tell mine apart from others and have contact info in case I lost it and it was found by a decent person.

And then an airplane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

"He was awarded a plaque, made of brass, by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award".

Is "3rd world country" basically "Not a NATO country, but also not an Eastern Bloc country"?

Who said this is being done because you need it?

You're the product here. The shareholders demand growth.

Yep but I'm only the product if they get my money and/or data (and these days it's often the and term not the or).

I simply chose to opt out of that as far as is reasonable without living in a cave by candlelight, it gets harder ever year.

Does this use AI to determine whether content is about AI?

you could look for the substring "AI" in the title and get 95% of the way there.

That would miss a lot of posts.

Here's how mine looks using my method:

Steps:

Install uBlock Origin Lite. Then create a custom filter:

Any improvements to above filter are welcome.

"Cursor" and "Copilot" are generic words sadly that you may find in other unrelated contexts, I'd take these out, and "prompt" is regularly used in headlines regarding political news.

>and "prompt" is regularly used in headlines regarding political news.

Oh no! Anyway...

I agree about the risks but when I search for those words in posts, I don't seem to find much.

For example, here's stories with "prompt" (only look at post titles, not the story text):

How else could it possibly be done?

yes.

I'd love to see the numbers and the arithmetic that compute down to "more than 10%"

> inherent non-determinism in current AI architectures

There's nothing inherent about non-determinism in transformer architectures. All of it is removable.

Again comes to use of deterministic. Maybe calling AI varyingly chaotic is more helpful but would also be misunderstood. And I use that in meaning of slight changes in input generating large and somewhat unpredictable changes in output...

I see. Can you say more about this? What’s the trade-off of removing it?

You get a probability curve for the next token prediction. You can just pick the highest probability. That said the non-determinism serves a real purpose- it allows different outputs and paths to be explored. So that's kind of the tradeoff.

This explains it pretty well: https://academy.claude.com/courses/building-with-the-claude-...

I wonder whether he's vested any options, and whether he's exercised them.

Why? I've never understood the sentiment that if you stand up for something you have to forego everything and not partake in society. "Oh, you want to stop climate change? But I saw you breathe co2 yesterday"

This is a lame argument. Questioning his financial incentive is very legit. Why should we trust him?

Questioning his finances is a poor argument because he clearly would have more money if he had stayed at Anthropic for the next couple of years, than he will have by leaving. Even if he still has vested options, or savings from his salary or whatever, those would be larger if he stayed.

I think it’s a valid question to ask if he quit the company for moral reasons.

If you seriously think the frontier labs are dangerously playing with everyone’s lives (how many companies can even claim this civilisational scale) then why would you be ok with holding vested shares which will grow in value if the corporation achieves what it aims to achieve?

At the very least you can sell them (they’re not so illiquid considering the company’s hype and success) and invest in the broad market.

> clearly

Debatable, and clearly not clear. It's weird to say this when there are obvious counter examples staring us in the face, not least of all the founder of the company he just left, of who (Dario) people could have said the same thing when he left OpenAI.

Granted, there is less likelihood now then there was then but this much is clear: if he starts his own company, he may make more.

The fame he got, the stamp of a frontier lab in the resume - its worth more than working in many other companies for years. Plus, not everyone thinks working more is needed once they achieve a certain number.

Unless, of course, he starts working for a competitor at a higher salary. I'm sure whoever is paying him will be free of the ethical concerns he here expressed.
