For anyone wondering what this means:
- Anthropic (and potentially future OpenAI, Google, xAI) models that cost billions to develop will make 0 revenue outside the US
- a big double digit percentage of Anthropic (and potentially OpenAI, Google, xAI) workforce can no longer work there, because they are foreigners and are not allowed to use those models
So Trump just made frontier model development effectively unprofitable and tremendously slowed down Anthropic (and potentially others in the future)
He's handing China the win on a gold platter.
*potentially: if the same restrictions are imposed on other frontier labs and models
The most significant part of this report to me was Sam Altman admitting OpenAI may be less than six months away from Recursive Self Improvement.
According to the report from The Information if OpenAI does hit RSI this year, then the IPO could be delayed. They quote Sam Altman as saying 'The faster the potential RSI takeoff looks like it could be, the more it could be advantageous to delay an IPO' because the 'technology and the world may change in surprising ways, and there might be good reasons to be a private company during that time.'
First look at Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg in ‘THE SOCIAL NETWORK’ sequel.
The film follows an engineer who becomes a whistleblower on Facebook's most guarded secrets.
This might sound strange to most people, but I’ve never really had a favourite movie, book, or author.
Most of the things I’ve read or watched haven’t meant much to me as a whole. A lot of them felt pointless, sometimes even stupid.
There are certain movies and books that are hyped to the extent where not watching them puts you in a minority and you are joked at.
And sometimes these are the movies in which people don't see the actual thing they are meant to learn from it because these things are overshadowed by the "groupthink" this is a great phenomenon btw, this is what most echo chambers are built upon. Social media basically works this way.
Now the real things that have shaped my life and my philosophy one line, one idea, one scene, one small observation.. these are point of views constructed by me based on past data.
Sometimes they don't even relate to the scene or page, it's just the thought trigger that matters.. watching something random like a horror movie.. once triggered a thought which i later used in my work.
That’s usually where I actually learn something... People ask me for my favourite book and i just can't recommend them, because even if you read everything I did, i don't think you can replicate my POV
This is not the most accurate thought explanation, but like 2 ppl are gonna read it so i don't really want to put much thought into this post
