This is a pretty deeply bad idea. This doesn't help the government increase revenue (the nominal goal of wealth taxes), disincentivizes company formation and investment, sets up high-uncertainty time bombs for founders, and potentially sticks the government with extensive equity holdings in companies that are unsuccessful which it cannot unload. This is almost a textbook example of why people feel that the government is bad at capital allocation and the private sector is better at it.

Claude is NOT ready for prime time as a sommelier, I asked it to sort my cellar and it recommended a bunch of young Barolos and Latour for on-deck status and split a bunch of my verticals on age. Anthropic needs to hire a staff sommelier and RLHF it to develop some taste.

#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas

there is no better time for companies to form an internal team to accelerate staff’s productivity. as engineers we always had the choice to “do the work” vs, “automate doing the work”, and today “automate doing the work” is extremely easy and scales outside engineering.

@infoxiao @andonlabs no i would pay to use this if the agents tell me exactly what to do, taking funding to make it real

Peak Duchamp energy…the “Fountain” test in reverse. Duchamp asked if context could make something art , and @SHL0MS is asking if context can unmake it.

@infoxiao what if an agent is running

[shuyang @_shuyang_]

@mitsuhiko yeah seems right, globally there’s O(30M) software engineers so this would be everyone all simultaneously downloaded codex 5 times over

@cremieuxrecueil is destroying the blue button more or less moral than pressing the blue button?

[shuyang @_shuyang_]

so much moralizing on that silly red button/blue button question for no reason; is the morally correct choice to destroy the blue button? if that seems right, as a corollary is the uk morally correct to ban smoking? something to ponder over

[shuyang @_shuyang_]

@waitbutwhy it’s prisoners dilemma without even the payoff

[shuyang @_shuyang_]

@waitbutwhy lol this is moralizing for no good reason - if everyone pressed red everyone survives

@tszzl cumulative release is quite a metric tho
