Probably because there are laws that exist

All or minimal costs? You’ve provided two contradicting statements here.

Because they like shopping on Amazon and watching Netflix?

Well, I think some of those hardworking Americans would be happy to pay some of those $2 because otherwise all the SaaS services and other services, platforms, and tools running in datacenters wouldn’t be accessible to them.

Or did I read this wrong and somewhere it said only datacenters running inference or training for LLMs?

But it wouldn’t have been so who cares? It’s a counterfactual.

You’d be surprised.

Also, people’s sense of goodness doesn’t pay rent or ensure food is on the table.

This is a deeply ignorant comment. Do you understand how much money you have to have IN SAVINGS in order to be able to weather even a moderately short hospital stay in the United States when you’re uninsured?

> If you cram enough guidance that it doesn't decide to ignore maybe you can make it more brief.

You are now anthropomorphizing the model yourself.

Apple is wholly against Chat Control.

This is incorrect.

Meet the senate, where most stuff doesn’t pass unless you get 60 votes, not 51

So is it undemocratic if a law is voted on by a majority and doesn’t pass because the law says it takes 3/4 to make that type of change?
blackqueeriroh··on EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0
Nobody is automatically in favor. What are you talking about, that’s not how it worked at all.

This is a deeply American (and Puritan) view of work, and I can say that as an American who works in public service.

PTO is not a “privilege.” In fact, it is a documented right as part of the employment agreement your company makes you, when you sign that document about the handbook. It should be a legal agreement, but somehow we’ve convinced people their purpose in life is to work for 50-60 years for 40+ hours a week and then have maybe 20 years to enjoy life before they die, happy to be of service to the people.

Public servants deserve MORE time off and MORE money because they literally are ON CALL most of the time. Taking a vacation should be MORE Normal and votes shouldn’t require people to be in person.

You build your government the way you build your country - you should show the utmost respect for those in public service by treating them right and respecting their time.

Denmark has half the population of just the Los Angeles Metropolitan area and is 85% white. Most countries cannot be like Denmark.

Oh thank god there used to be several tools like this and they slowly went away. I’ve been wanting this to return.

Yes, Trump is the worstPresident we’ve had, the Supreme Court is captured by conservatives, the Republicans would rather die than vote against Trump, we know all of this.

It’s bad, okay? And it’s not usually like this.

You actually think that would’ve changed things? I don’t. We’d still be here.

I’m confused; do you actually believe a large language model named “Claude” went out and hoovered up all the information about this Minoan problem?

If not, how did “Claude” steal anything?

Unless the people who shout “Free Palestine” are part of the Knesset or Hamas, I don’t think their offering of a “concrete realistic solution” matters one bit.

Lmao this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Who? Elon Musk? No. Sam Altman? Laughable. Dario Amadei? Above-average, maybe.

The people who are the smartest people full stop aren’t the leaders of these companies - they’re the people you never meet, who are working in the research department, begging not to be promoted into management.

Doesn’t really matter - the government is given wide latitude by the judiciary in matters of national security. I also expect Anthropic will fight this in court if it lasts very long.
blackqueeriroh··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Y’all really have convinced yourselves that people in the industry are far, far smarter than they are, and far more manipulative than they are.

You see the state of the country and you think it’s a nefarious master plan instead of a bunch of opportunistic people taking advantage of an overworked, overstimulated populace who forget to vote or believe stupid slogans on TV.

Nobody is doing this intentionally. Have you not paid attention to how quickly idiot stuff gets found out????

The people actually working in this space will tell you that the cost of all of this continues to crater. Anthropic is already profitable minus its intentional forward-looking investments into R&D.

What, exactly, is new about any of this?

You have this backwards, as Simon could tell you. In fact, Simon coined “AI slop” to mean “low quality AI output.”
