🇭🇷 🐐 From a scared little boy who used football as an escape during a war.
To arguably the greatest midfielder to ever grace the football pitch. And for many of us, it's not a argument.
Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years.
The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion.
It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes.
Relevant historical bits about the Internet:
1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no.
2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces.
Infrastructure wants to be open.
Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized.
Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.
Justin Gaethje:
- Lost to Eddie and Dustin and came back
- Lost to Khabib and came back
- Lost to Charles Oliveira and came back
- Lost to Max Holloway and came back
- No one believed he would beat Ilia Topuria
WHAT A STORY MAN!
You can loot, exploit and ALSO SETTLE. No contradiction.
The “settlers” continued to despise everything Indian and admire everything Arabic and Persian and Turkish [Never learnt any local Indian language by the way]. The “settlers” continued to massacre in cold blood hundreds of thousands of Indians, converting by institutional force. The “settlers” continued to capture and sell into slavery and concubinage all over the Islamic world millions of Indian males and females. The “settlers” destroyed on a large scale the great creations of Indian art and science and literature, the “settlers” even reduced the Indians themselves to the status of non-citizens in their own ancestral homeland.
Mercury 2 is live 🚀🚀
The world’s first reasoning diffusion LLM, delivering 5x faster performance than leading speed-optimized LLMs.
Watching the team turn years of research into a real product never gets old, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built.
We’re just getting started on what diffusion can do for language.
your timeline convinced you AI is in a bubble. talk to a boomer above the age 35 for 5 minutes.
most people don’t even know what claude is.
kind of wild when you zoom out.
Speechless. As a child of a single mom, I want to be very, very angry, but what’s even the point?
This country does not value life.
This country does NOT value life!
Anything and everything is out to do one thing and one thing alone: kill you.
And when you die, some fat bastard would crawl out of his political master’s rectum and say, “we mourn and move on.”
The next day, a most dishonorable piece of shit will let go of your killers in exchange for an essay.
While you’re left mourning for the rest of your life.
This country is a shithole.
If one has the freedom to go about doing stunts in a car with absolute impunity, all while carrying a bouquet of live challans to his name, with zero consequences…in the national capital, no less, it can’t be a nation worth even an iota of patriotism.
So sorry for your loss ma’am. 😢
