we'll never leave, look at us now, so in love with the way we are.

drop the "for" in this sentence, it's cleaner

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies are privately preparing for a potential catastrophic AI event that could trigger public outrage.

@eric23332 it also vendor locks you, but yeah

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

AI has become indispensable for software research/debugging purposes, even if you don't use code generation, in large part because StackOverflow is dead and Google Search is unusable for anything technical nowadays

we genuinely lost the technology available to use in 2015

@kodumit ehh. it's at least a real tradeoff

@tenobrus i think it's highly unlikely this happens, but if it did i would probably significantly update towards fast ASI timelines

@qualiascript Me when I just say a bunch of nonsense bullshit about something I know nothing about

[Gregory Conti @GregoryConti19]

Amodei: “Distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete.”

He has also described his mission of hoovering up the products of all human effort and intelligence as creating "a general labor substitute for humans."

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

Anthropic's S1 reveals that the company considers copyright law a massive risk.

It says: "If we cannot rely on the fair use doctrine to access copyrighted work for training our models, we may be required to pay significant fees to obtain a license to such training data or our ability to further develop our models [...] and distribute models trained on such data at issue could be adversely affected."

Adverse rulings "could require us to retrain affected models from scratch at substantial cost."

It notes that the copyright questions around AI training have not been resolved in the US, and that other countries don't even have 'fair use'.

There is hope yet.

[Amelia Bartholomew @AmeliaBarty]

Early Anthropic employee writes about the time his boss started a special team to "train dangerous bio/cyber/nuclear models to show scary demos to governments" in order to "get them to take AI risk seriously"

Sure sounds like regulatory capture to me

@tracewoodgrains Hillary would have still been worse in 2016, just look at the Yookay. Trump 16 was a historically progressive force

@RidleyDM @halogen1048576 @tracewoodgrains lmfao cmon now

@Postabunchastuf im not an algorithm!

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

it would be so funny if AI proves P = NP and it's a practical algorithm, so everyone replaces bespoke AI integrations for solving complex problems with the generic P = NP implementation, and this pops the AI bubble

@LinXiaoLXi what

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

why does every AI agent session for me start off dumb as hell for around 45 minutes until it groks what i actually want to do, then it's pretty damn smart for 3-4 hours until it undergoes model collapse and gets obsessed with unnecessary debugging? i mean it's weirdly specific

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

@ShadowyZephyr i honestly have no idea what id do if i was in college right now. i mean i think the value of a degree is quickly going to 0

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

everyone is building the "dependently typed language for AI agents", the difference is that my own Datra has been 4 years in the making and the ideas behind it predate modern AI

also, that i will not release the public beta until i feel confident that it is devoid of slop

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

when it starts launching subagents doing absolute nonsense in the interactive shell for minutes on end, you know it's time to take it out behind the back

[alco ⊣ ꙮ @qualiascript]

@AezzieUwU it won't, it will burst in early 2027
