@SamJWasserman Did AI write this or is it just you've internalized AI voice so aptly we can't tell?

The breakthrough in AI film is not “press button, get movie.” It’s iteration speed. More versions, faster feedback, cheaper experiments. That does not kill craft. It raises the bar for what's possible.

imo the ethical move, if you're a wife in a monogamous marriage who doesn't want sex with your husband, is to allow him to see escorts.

@0x49fa98 Exactly, and same thing with aliens. Yes they are fake, no I don't care, if Trump says we need an alliance with the Galactic Command then I'm all for it.

Satya wrote this article himself, in contrast to a lot of the AI-generated responses Dario’s essays, roon’s tweets, Noam Brown’s posts, all slop-free too A counterintuitive measure of AI fluency is knowing how not to overrely on it

@fchollet I'm not in favor of AI regulation, I'm in favor of my team winning at any and all costs because the alternative is a 1k year lib dystopia and we will not stand for it.

Even if you are in favor of AI regulation, you should recognize that opaque and arbitrary regulatory strikes are counter-productive for the whole industry.

why would openai release their next model right now? they've been claiming their next model (and current models) are as good as fable at cyber. so if they release their model while fable is offline, all attention will be on them and people will ask why their model is allowed to be used by foreign nationals. so either the model isn't as good, or fable should be public right now.
Matthew Berman@MatthewBerman

so there's no incentive for OpenAI to release their next model right now, right?

In past years I tried once or twice to point out that people like Jonathan Haidt were peddling a thesis about social media being harmful to kids that was a) empirically pretty poorly established, and b) highly likely to be used by our enemies in ways like this.

JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

What I see is a bunch of third rate commentators making fun of an autistic CEO for how he marketed his product rather than being alarmed that the government could shut it down without warning.

@farzyness It's already over there is literally nothing that can stop the 1k year American Empire. Whether it's run by Virtual Trump digitized into immortality or a Dariotopia is yet to be seen

My theory is that the American empire is JUST getting started. US has a stranglehold on Space with SpaceX, which is the next frontier for defense/war. It has a comically large lead. No one will be close for at least 20 years. It is the leading power in AI by far - both in models and chips. China is catching up fast, but the US has an inherent mechanism that will increase the likelihood that it will win in the end - a free market + capitalism + free speech. A free market + capitalism allows for brutal competition between companies. Free speech allows for AI models to be maximally truth seeking, which means that AIs CAN and WILL BECOME smarter than humans to the point where they can tell the truth about its leaders. This is literally impossible in China. Try having a Chinese model that says Xi Jinping is corrupt. Good luck with that. Then, you have a country that has more guns than people and surrounded by two massive oceans and two friendly neighbors, which means any sort of kinetic take over of the country is literally impossible. Not to mention the US has BY FAR the best and strongest military. The only way adversaries can hope to defeat the US is by tearing it from within by pitting us against each other. This is why it's virtually guaranteed that all the division/hatred/polarization you see within the country is fomented by China/Russia Psy Ops + propaganda efforts. I'm not saying these aren't naturally happening in spots - America is far from perfect - but it would be naive to think our adversaries aren't pouring millions of gallons of fuel on a fire. As long as the American public a) has the ability to exercise its free speech b) has a protected 2nd amendment c) capitalism and free markets continue to function and d) the populace is aware of how awesome America really is, it is literally impossible to stop the US's trajectory to global domination in the coming decades, especially as China's demographics continue to collapse. It's the bottom of the 9th, the game is tied, and the US has the bases loaded. It's a 3-2 pitch. All we need is a home run, and we win the rest of the century.
Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius

Something miraculous is happening in the USA and the world thanks to the World Cup and the USA’s 250th. I’m not quite sure yet what it is, I have to give it more thought. I think it has something to do with the world realizing that managed decline is not necessary (with Trump’s America as the example), and I think it has something to do with more Americans not being afraid to be patriots about their nation and their culture. It’s more than that though—I have to ponder. Article coming when I figure it out. Any and all ideas welcome.

@DaveShapi True but this is aside from that they DO have a strategy, it is just entirely a map not territory strategy so it constantly falls apart and needs dynamic readjustment.

Yes, it's called being an insufferable, smug twat. Lots of people in the comments think that Dario is playing 5D chess but Occam's Razor says he's just a self-righteous, self-important douche.
Andrew Ruiz@then_there_was

I am perpetually confused by Dario. He seems neither skilled as a Machiavellian actor (knowing when to play ball) nor committed to his ideals (pausing for safety reasons when the government asks; hell, turn it into an ad). He just constantly pisses people off lol.
