@ClementDelangue @paulg I mean, they give out the weights, but nothing about how they are trained or what they are trained on. I wouldn't say 100x just because they are willing to give everyone a black box.

@MattWalshBlog The problem is that improper regulation is just as dangerous as improper use of AI, and making these decisions out of emotional panic will guarantee the former.

@Jason @grok "Free" healthcare or whatever democrats promote is just as bad. It's bribes all the way down bro, and always has been

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@ctjlewis I feel like this is the H1B debate, with people digging their heels into the opposite ends of the spectrum and talking over each other. The idea of an AI utopia is just as foreign as one that involves "death by nano-bots," and neither side listens to the other.

@Aella_Girl @firstadopter Panic caused unnecessary toilet paper shortages during covid. There is just as much a threat from poorly designed regulation than the risks of misaligned AI itself. For example banning drugs and prohibition really worked out great. GDPR definitely didn’t cause regulatory moats.

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

Poorly designed regulation could be comparably detrimental than the risks of misaligned AI itself

@MaskedTorah @jillgun Or yall could just do you job and quit sucking at it

@hilbertspaess @elonmusk @zerohedge This is exactly what a guy who wants to set someone up would say

@beffjezos This is a wild take on Anthropic calling authorities over threats posted in chats.

New PISA results are out. Here is what the NYT says:

“The reading scores of American 15-year-olds have fallen sharply since 2022 and are near their lowest point in 25 years”

@CBHeresy You just wrote a bunch of science fiction and justify your pre-conceived notions based on your own made up story.

When I worked for a major retailer it was normal for people to quit because they felt some type of way towards the company and then make posts on the internet detailing how the company is bad. Why is this any different?

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@MattWalshBlog If someone quit the dailywire and said “these ideas are going to end the human race” (which is plausible) would you be calling for legislation against the dailywire? It shouldn’t be surprising someone quit their job and have a resentment towards their employer

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@mark_k People are going to see it anyway. It’s best they get a pretext of someone else’s opinion before reading it themselves.

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@tedlieu Wow… sensationalism of a topic before a consequential election? Tell me it ain’t so.

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@RepYassAnsari Jacob was at Anthropic for three months. Not a “top researcher.” It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who quit their job had qualms with their employer. What is surprising is the want to regulate industry because a few people suck at their job.

Imagine you and your goonbro have been edging the same session for months.

Then rival goonbros hear you’re close, spawn a thousand hands, and nut first.

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@beffjezos Dude worked three years at the labs. Was mid at his job and made sure to cash those checks. Quits and had qualms with his employer (shocking). That post was dudes biggest accomplishment

[Bacon @Baconbodangle]

@ohhellodan Yeah, I don't know where you are, but I worked in K-12 IT. Trust me, the kids like AI way more than the teachers do.
