@vjvarada What harness / model?

@JayaGup10 Mainstream consumers don’t care about underlying model, just about outcomes

@SenWarren so you think airplanes, amtrak, ubers should all have fixed pricing for every route no matter time or day?

What Is To Be Done?

I propose a simple plan:

Big AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can – but not allowed to achieve regulatory capture, not allowed to establish a government-protect cartel that is insulated from market competition due to incorrect claims of AI risk. This will maximize the technological and societal payoff from the amazing capabilities of these companies, which are jewels of modern capitalism.

Startup AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can. They should neither confront government-granted protection of big companies, nor should they receive government assistance. They should simply be allowed to compete. If and as startups don’t succeed, their presence in the market will also continuously motivate big companies to be their best – our economies and societies win either way.

Open source AI should be allowed to freely proliferate and compete with both big AI companies and startups. There should be no regulatory barriers to open source whatsoever. Even when open source does not beat companies, its widespread availability is a boon to students all over the world who want to learn how to build and use AI to become part of the technological future, and will ensure that AI is available to everyone who can benefit from it no matter who they are or how much money they have.

To offset the risk of bad people doing bad things with AI, governments working in partnership with the private sector should vigorously engage in each area of potential risk to use AI to maximize society’s defensive capabilities. This shouldn’t be limited to AI-enabled risks but also more general problems such as malnutrition, disease, and climate. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for solving problems, and we should embrace it as such.

To prevent the risk of China achieving global AI dominance, we should use the full power of our private sector, our scientific establishment, and our governments in concert to drive American and Western AI to absolute global dominance, including ultimately inside China itself. We win, they lose.

And that is how we use AI to save the world.

It’s time to build.

people think software's big advantage over hardware is fast iteration

it is. but that's not the real gap

in hardware half your parts are backordered for months. you can't pay your way out. no expedited shipping fixes a part that doesn't exist yet. you just wait

biggest opportunity in hardware right now might just be adding supply

@hagaetc @mewwts You’ve got to do the running part before the buying part I’ve learned lol

Feel like the only real contenders to build 24/7 agents for mass market consumers are Google and Apple

Google already has all the data and users trust Apple and will connect new sources to it

Happen to be intimately familiar with how hard PCB routing is, was unsolved on all models so far

This is big if true

Will go unnoticed for a bit and then suddenly be huge

[Seve @seveibar]

a lot of people (my angels) are asking: what does it mean that OpenAI can now layout and route PCBs with astra? am i cooked? (1/6)
