Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.
Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.
Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.
Huh. TIL I guess. That study cites a bunch of credible sources at least, but I haven’t had a chance to dig into the findings in detail yet.
That said, even per the cited paper, the difference between your kids growing up dumb or smart is primarily environmental. So, that supports my original point: Given proper education there’s a good chance these kids will grow up to surpass their parents.
Intelligence is not a transferable trait, unlike physical traits. There’s no guarantee that these kids won’t educate themselves and surpass their parents in intellectual capabilities. All we need is indeed better public education.
As someone who was never fond of the concept of social media, and who never had a MySpace or Facebook account as a result when I was in my late teens/early twenties - this hits home for me.
I did it knowingly, but I sure missed out on a lot of stuff that I usually only found out months after.
For a while my friends nicknamed me “the untagable” 🤣, but I guess not having my entire dumb early adulthood saved for eternity is a win in the end.
Wow, that graph really tells a lot about the US population’s political leanings.
Fair. At least the stated mission of the Chinese isn’t to be evil for evil’s sake. Palantir just seems like an accelerationist’s tool and nothing more.
Fully agree. I just don’t trust China any much more than the US to respect privacy and consumer choice. Color me prejudiced if you want, but I’ve dealt with enough Chinese suppliers to have a decent idea of how they operate.
I’ll take any silver lining, but I’m not sure if whatever replaced it will be any better given how the Chinese have acted in markets they’ve achieved majority stake in.
LOL being the abbreviation for Lament Our Loss here, I presume?
I am partially convinced he started the war with Venezuela specifically because he felt slighted by her winning the prize. Just so he can be petty and deny her the reason she was awarded the prize in the first place.
Gee, it’s almost like power vacuums tend to be detrimental to the stability of a country.
