skinfaxi··on One person can now be a quorum at the SEC
I can't edit my comment now but appreciate the responses I was indeed ignorant and this seemingly innocuous change is obviously not.
skinfaxi··on One person can now be a quorum at the SEC
The key change seems to be innocuous:

> The Commission is modifying 17 CFR 200.41, which establishes the Commission's quorum requirement. Three commissioners will continue to constitute a quorum of the Commission, with two important exceptions. First, consistent with the current rule, if the number of commissioners in office is two or one, that number is sufficient for a quorum. Second, if the number of commissioners in office minus the number disqualified from consideration with respect to a matter is two or one, then that number of commissioners constitutes a quorum for purposes of that matter.

skinfaxi··on Kolibri: A Sovereign Open-Weight Model
AI is more like a nuke than a wheel. Do you disagree? Can you suggest a less manipulative framing? I am personally a proponent of open source AI and models but I found this cabal framing strange when we do indeed rely on this kind of control for other world-altering technologies. And AI is different in that it enables technological development in ways quite unlike the wheel in a general sense.

Why? That seems like a shallow dismissal. Why is a world changing technology okay in the hands of a small cabal in the one case and not another?

> When access to AI gives you abilities you cannot use responsibly, you shouldn't have access to that.

What do you mean "cannot"? As in you are granted abilities that have no responsible use?

Didn't Mexican cartels kidnap telco workers to build them separate infra? We expect terrorists to be less resourceful?

Would you apply this reasoning to the proliferation of nuclear weapons?

edit: why is the parent rationale sensible for AI and not nuclear technology?

Why do people read novels? For the story or something else?

skinfaxi··on Supreme Court permits states to use SAVE database for citizenship checks
So what's the allowed level of voter fraud we should accept? And the fact check is about votes not registered voters. Funny how it focuses on national elections when local elections can be swayed by handfuls of votes.
