I'm sorry, but to me this just reads like someone who is high on their own supply? Seems like a lot of words to say that people should diversify into skills that AI is bad at...for now.

Well, Plato was a fascist according to Popper, so... :P

> "human first thoughts"

And what exactly do you define those as?

On the site run by a VC firm? Why is that a shock? Besides, hacker does not mean being a kneejerking reactionary against corporations.

Okay, so all you have are personal attacks, goodbye.

And if you look at SpaceX's Starmind sats, they will have a 160 m^2 liquid radiator for 175kw/250kw peak compute.

Are you not aware that's exactly what SpaceX is doing?? https://www.spacex.com/spacexai/starmind Sure, it's now SpaceXAI or whatever, but how is that any different than Google sending up sats and selling the compute via Gemini?

Not true

Where in Latin America?

Looks to me, going by this reporting, that LATAM treats books identically to the US (The first headline, translated, is literally "If not sold or donated, books can become toilet paper")

Well it does not include me, I don't doom.

Again, do you have an actual objection to the subject of the article, or are you just mad it enriches people you don't like?

I have sifted through everything from piled up junky independent book shops, to cast offs from research libraries, to dumpsters of end of life books. Most books really are not worth the paper they are printed on.

> Most books of value don't get destroyed or thrown away.

Of value to who? Most used bookstores are boutiques that over-curate and will happily refuse or recycle books that they deem are inferior/irrelevant. This is a big reason why I prefer Half Price Books over most any other used bookstore, they sell most everything.

Why would they be tossed or burnt? Tons of discarded books are simply recycled like any other paper object (that's why people keep saying they were "pulped")

Booksellers noticed a huge uptick in non-fiction purchases, that is not the same thing as them not targeting fiction at all.

Edit: Actually, I have real evidence, the Bartz in "Bartz v Anthropic" is Andrea Bartz, a novelist, and the complaint specifically lists four of her novels as infringed works.

Again, under Bartz v Anthropic they can scan and train on whatever they want, as long as the original is lost in the process.

They have to destroy the copy either way for it to be fair use (according to Bartz v Anthropic). Cutting the bindings off is already the faster method to scan, and once you're required to pulp the original anyway, it becomes a no-brainer.

Do you have an actual point about scanning the books, or are you just using this as a soapbox to rant about AI and Sam Altman?

"the engine of human progress"? I think you mean capitalism.

> the books being burned by these misanthropic lunatics are not available in any other medium

prove it, name one title

> this is not about fascination with some particular mediumn of transmission

it very much is. this fetishism of books should really stop, especially when ebooks are more useful, durable, etc.

I've believed for years that it really should have one, or at least a "you aren't selling this to the public at a reasonable market-rate price (or via subscription, I care about access far FAR more than ownership), you lose all rights to it" regime.

> the information density of published books is a lot higher than most internet text

I'm not convinced. I think you are under-weighing the massive volumes of stuff like self-help books, romance novels, etc.

Who is we?

Because that's not how these models work? Besides, plenty of "useful" things are nonetheless "dangerous" (can't have modern chips without hydroflouric acid, the first example to come to mind)

Does anyone else take these kinds of articles, drop them into ChatGPT, crank it up to Pro, and then have it write issues against your personal harness?

> The big question is who is funding the influencer army to gaslight people into thinking AI/data centers will somehow end the world?

Give you a hint: starts with C, ends with a P, with a C in the middle

Well, (F)OSS projects have never been known for great UI/UX (with some exceptions like Blender), so it doesn't surprise me much

But Clay chose Fefferman to represent "the larger math community"? I'm calling out Clay/Fefferman here, not the community. Though the community also had over 25 years to contest the problem statement, and had no problem with it until now.

yes!

> There is no question that OpenAI solved what the Clay institute is looking for. But that specific option C isn’t what the larger math community cares about, it’s a pretty niche case

I think you are agreeing with me? My point is that "the larger math community" failed to set the bounds of the problem correctly.

So what they are saying is that humans, in this case Charles Fefferman (a math prodigy, going by his history), failed to specify the problem correctly?

> that ChatGPT usage (even 6 Astra Pro) is essentially unmetered on the 20x plan

LMAO, I wish this were true, I hit limits (and the "we are disabling access to protect your data" warnings) all the time, or have chats just...fuck off and get into weird/invalid states (interrupted chats, chats that are spinning and stuck, returning "/mnt/" paths instead of images/md files, file links being returned with no file backing them, image classifier firing...and then returning the image anyway (though now I know that GPT-Image-X really really wants to generate NSFW even when that isn't the request)).

Though I am probably an outlier, I have both 20x Claude/ChatGPT plans and max both out every week, so... (in my defense I am a hobbyist and this is out-of-pocket)
