Ah yes, everything Trump does is actually other people's fault.

Take the criticism and pressure off the abuser, and point it at their opponents.

This talking point keeps getting pushed around on social media and I can't help but think it's manufactured and promulgated by right wing entities.

I agree. It won’t stop us from othering the source of our demise as quickly as we are able.

There’s also the argument to be made that your child is their own person, and you only have so much responsibility/control over their actions.

Of course we have a good chunk of the world screaming that this child is obviously destined to be a homicidal psychopath, but what is a parent to do?

At least we’ll eventually have an entity other than ourselves to blame for our annihilation.

Does this mean a commensurate increase in subscription usage limits?

Hm, seems to be a bit of a contradiction between what you’re saying in terms of “insurers want to pay more” and the infamous tendency of insurers to deny claims as much as possible?

If you read up on the sequence of events posted above you’ll see that the admin exhausted every avenue available to them but was ultimately defeated in their efforts here.

Why are we even playing games about implications when we can see the empirical fact that the admin’s policies on Palestine over the last years have been to carpet bomb people?

This apologia loses force when you can transparently see that Ben Gvir’s definition of terrorist and Palestinian are a single circle Venn diagram.

The funny thing is it doesn’t even code well. It’s still worse than OpenAI, Anthropic, and the leading open source models.

So you get worse outcomes while also financially supporting one of the most prolific pushers of race wars, the destruction of labor rights, environmental protections, and general misinformation.

Truly a win-win?

Contrary to your framing it seems to only reason to use Grok at this point would be ideological.

They may need approval from their employers.

I'm sold.

OpenAI and Anthropic need to just go ahead and give people access to the cyber models.

Otherwise we have a world of attackers using open and closed source models against a much smaller group of maintainers that are likely heavily dependent on Anthropic and OpenAI and for whom it may not be a simple matter to just get approval to start using the open model flavor of the month.

Not that useful when large swathes of the population are unemployed, which is where this is all aiming.

The project was originally called clawdbot as it was based on Claude. Pressure from Anthropic made Peter change the name to Moltbot, which everyone thought sounded gross, so he changed it again to openclaw, with a lobster mascot.

This is basically openclaw with browser access, or am I missing something?

The admin fought quite hard to destroy the electric conversion, not just cancelling future orders but scrapping existing trucks and infrastructure despite that being a major expense. It's in line with the way it's fighting against renewables and environmental protections on many fronts.

I would say it's obviously in service of the fossil fuel industry but it's gotten to the point of being so absurdly senseless and against our interests that it seems primarily ideological/emotional.

Wow, a small glimmer of good news. I almost want to hide this comment over fear of drawing attention to this thing that got away from the powers that be.

Is the game you're playing "see if I can be subtle enough to get away with undermining renewables through misleading statements on social media without people calling me out on it"? If so I think you're down 1 - 0 so far in this thread.

Best of luck on the next round though, really cool and awesome game!

I recently saw some discussion about the CPC for personal injury lawyers being ~$200 on Google ads. Seems insane to me, but I’m totally disconnected from the advertising world. That said, depending on the conversion rates between chats and clicks, the math could be favorable for OAI.

It's likely bumping up against people's desire to have the model complete a given task without asking the person to intervene a bunch of times.

Seems unclear how you satisfy everyone here.

> you could do the same back then with multiple models and more targeted finetuning

I mean, come on, this is just not true. You could not achieve anything like what you can with modern agentic coding with Fable / 5.6 Sol from any combination or configuration of GPT 3.5 era models.

It's like saying that a teenager isn't an intellectually meaningful improvement over a toddler.

Sure they're both still fundamentally flawed humans prone to cognitive error, but one is clearly more likely to hit the mark than the other when assigned a task.

I think the ultimate goal here is to protect the valuations of Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI etc. so probably?

When you eat alphabet soup, do you take note of all the leftist messages bobbing in and out of existence in your bowl?

> how much users want to use/pay for it, which is a pretty fuzzy problem

Isn’t this quantifiable by revenue?

Do you think it will be a net social benefit for people to be taught 2 + 2 = 4 and 2 + 2 = 5 with equal weight, and let them come to their own conclusions?

How about if the person who owns the educational institution puts their thumb on the 2 + 2 = 5 side of the balance for their own ends?

I'm not sure if you actually haven't checked it since, but will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Accounts pushing white supremacy, the reversion of women's rights, hatred towards other on the basis of their race or religion, climate change denial, denial of science and promotion of pseudoscience, etc etc. are heavily promoted across the platform and get millions of engagements.

If you create a new account, the majority of the accounts you are shown and suggested to follow will be those pushing the above.

They've switched to a model of paying their users for engagement, which naturally encourages users to post the most engagement bait they can, which tends to be inflammatory and utterly lacking in depth or nuance.

I think you're speeding past the word "average" in the sentence. I'd argue that current frontier models already exceed the abilities of average humans across the majority of tasks you can do on a computer, although you might be able to argue that they tend to be a bit slower?

That latter part is debatable though - have you seen a non-technical person try to figure out something new on a computer?

Mine was not that severe. I would get mildly nauseous during normal commercial airplane turbulence, although very nauseous in small planes and the worst nausea of my life after a glider session, very seasick to the point of being debilitated, and then probably a 6 or 7 out of 10 when reading in the car for more than a few minutes.

Definitely worth a shot IMO.

I had motion sickness for the first ~38 years of my life, and had it cured.

Posting here because I went the majority of my life without knowing that such a treatment existed.

About a year ago I flew to the University of North Dakota and spent an hour a day over 3 days sitting in a simulator that would spin faster and faster while the facilitator talked to me over the headset and kept me distracted.

Was nowhere near as bad as I'd feared, honestly maybe a 3/10 on the discomfort/nausea scale.

Ever since then, motion sickness completely gone. I used to despise boats, calling them mankind's cruelest invention. Taken many flights, reading car trips, hot humid boat rides in rough seas in southeast asia since and... nothing.

Would 100% recommend. I think you can find the program at the bottom of this page, it's $400:
