They're very involved in web standards. Rob Palmer from Bloomberg is co-chair of TC39.

Which is a war crime

Not many things make me feel particularly patriotic, but this is doing a pretty good job

The US labs would lose billions in enterprise contracts if they were found to be secretly training on data when opted-out. It's not worth it.

You can't compare a subscription to API prices. OpenCode Go is massively subsidised. Unlike the closed labs, we can say that for sure because we can see what they're paying for their tokens.

Enterprise, and APIs

There is no definition of "native British", just as is the case for most of Europe. The "native" population has changed repeatedly for thousands of years. This isn't like America where there was a native population that was largely displaced in the past 400 years

> Politics is really not that serious

Really?

I heard you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem

Would college biology have let me into a secret world where you can develop vaccines for viruses that don't yet exist? Ones that cover all possible variants, and where an AI can't tweak a protein or two in an engineered virus to avoid them?

Yes, but it can't preemptively develop and distribute vaccines for any possible pathogen created by AI. Once they've infected everyone it's a bit late

And in the meantime, every site in the world gets hacked. It takes far longer to fix every vulnerability than it does to find one unpatched one. Mythos has led to huge numbers of reported vulnerabilities on every kind of software. If those were all dropped as zero days (which is effectively what an open weight model would do), attackers can choose an unpatched on at their leisure while defenders race to fix them all and update everything.

> A usage agreement between two private companies is not considered public access.

Says who? Just write the law so it is.

> Under your current definition, Mythos is currently in public access.

Yes

Those are not incompatible. He can still be one of the most hated people on the planet, even if lots of people like him. The same would apply to all of the most hated people in history.

If any of the orgs that were hacked decided to sue OpenAI they'd probably have a good chance of winning. It's just that none of them has.

This isn't cybersecurity. You can't use an LLM to create and administer vaccines for all potential bioweapons.

cf-ray is the Cloudflare ray id, which ends with the airport code for the colo that served the response. They're airport codes, but that's just to show the nearest city.

> It's Bluesky, they hate AI

There is a very vocal section of the userbase who are vehemently anti-AI. Blocklists help avoid them (using them or being on them). However there is also a really good AI community on there. It's generally a lot less commercially-focused than on Twitter, for better and worse. It helps that atproto itself is really good for agents. They know how to use it, and the data is all open and accessible. Lots of people have been experimenting with agents that "live" on Bluesky, some of which are really interesting.

Fishing was a big issue during Brexit, despite contributing less to the UK economy than Warhammer.

Seems like a great way to have your project taken down

So does Street View

Paying by the token is a much more expensive way of doing it than signing up for the various coding plans when you need them.

EU law doesn't actually require a monopoly for competition rules to apply, it's a "dominant position". Apple certainly meets that definition for smartphone platforms.

I love picking blackberries, sloes, elderberries, elderflowers, crab apples etc from the hedgerows around me in the south of England. I also love then using them to make preserves etc. Very relaxing and rewarding.

The first sentence says she came across it when reading about compression. I didn't read that as her claiming to have discovered the idea or that it was a new idea, I read it as "today I learned". I think somebody who was unfamiliar with how compression algorithms or language models work would find this an approachable and interesting introduction. Not everybody studied information theory.

She covers all of this in the post

None of the previous concerns were true, largely because they came from laypeople who didn't understand the technology. A prominent exception is nuclear weapons, where their creators did worry their creations could end up destroying the world. I think most people would agree those concerns were justified, and it's not any lack of capability that means we're still here.

The motivations aren't unique here. Restrictions on the development of almost any technology benefits incumbents by providing a moat.

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago, where I discovered KineStop which is an app that does the same on Android. I've only tried it a few times but it has worked every time.
