Great to welcome @jakepaul to the Treasury Department today.
Jake’s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Diesel shortages lead to famine. Global famine. Fat people last longer in famine. America’s obesity problem, turns into America’s obesity solution. We played the long game. Checkmate, skinny China. 🇺🇸
@citrini I vibe coded a SiteTracker alternative for my team over the course of 2 months. Cost me $600 and saves us about $10k a year in licensing. It’s exactly what we want and my team likes it more. Thats where this is going.
At times, the joy that life attacks me with is unbearable and leads to gasping hysterical laughter. I find myself completely out of control and wonder how could life could surprise me again and again and again, so completely. How could a man be a cynic? It is a sin.
Imagine being given somewhere around 80 years on a planet floating through an incomprehensibly enormous universe, surrounded by billions of people you will never meet, mysteries you will never solve, places you will never see, and more knowledge than you could absorb in a thousand lifetimes...
and spending the whole damn thing worrying about money, arguing with strangers, impressing people you don't even like, and doing something you hate five days a week because somebody convinced you that was life.
I don't know, man.
I think we may have gotten a few things terribly wrong.
Who are we concerned about here? OAI/Ant? The Chinese Labs? Cohere? So far the extent of the risk comes from a) OAI/Ant's models hacking when being asked to hack in poorly secured sandboxes, b) China opensourcing models that increasingly can contribute to nefarious use.
a) doesn't require a 3rd party auditor, O/A need to stop using such weak sandboxes when running such high-risk tasks. b) is a discussion with China, and again is not going to be fixed with a 3rd party auditor.
The 3rd party auditor is a great means of power-projection because you can now arbitrarily raise a barrier to entry by shutting down lower-resourced players, while simultaneously providing zero fixes to the problems at hand, but at least you make people feel good.
@edleonklinger I would believe the groundbreaking risk if we were also seeing groundbreaking discovery . The “AI could kill us all” narrative would be more believable if “AI discovered the cure to X” was also happening. But, it’s not….
