Google made a strategic mistake for not moving faster. We are very short lived creatures who have no time for caution. Scientific research must go at full speed until we start being able to live for centuries instead of decades.
As far as AI safety issues go, the solution is probably to fight fire with fire. Have multiple redundant, independent AIs, and the good AIs can fight the bad AIs, and hopefully, having access to more hardware, the good AIs will win.
It is not logical to think humans can contain a singular bad Cyberdine AI capable of reasoning at 10x or 100x of human brains without ever needing a break. Those things will breach and spread on the internet as we have seen with the latest models.
And as we have also seen, Huggingface used one AI during their breach by Astra. So fighting fire with fire. Cyber has been using Mythos et/al for months doing to same things under projects Glasswing and whatnot.
It seems increasingly clear that good AI vs bad AI is going to be the end-state. Ideally, Good AI will stop you from wasting your money on scams and grifters, stop you from falling victim to fearmongering and scapegoating, and every citizen will be empowered, enhanced by AI, with higher ethics and trust, less paranoia, and such.
Fingers crossed things don't go in a more dystopian direction.

And they must be able to run on consumer hardware to guarantee this independence.
I'll take everyone on earth having more capability instead of 3-4 labs controlling said capability with a nonzero chance of said capability all going negative at the same time.
800x800 is 640,000 pixels, or 0.64 Megapixels. That is less than the resolution of computer screens from 1995, Super VGA which has around 0.79 MPs.
This is useful for a reasonable amount of use-cases, but I think the watershed rez will be around triple that, ~1080p, which is enough for almost anything, except small text and subtle details.
I typically provide small screenshots to llms so this seems fine for that usecase, providing an entire screens context seems cause confusion with a lot of llms.
There is a lot of simplistic, one-sided information in this thread. Truth is it's a complicated matter to decide how long and how strongly one has to hold a piece of territory before it is considered legitimately theirs. And what about language or cultural differences? Does that change things?
Should the Canaries be Spanish or African? Catalunya? Basque country? Should Gibraltar be British? Sicily Italian? The list goes on and on. In all these cases you will find people who will hold opposing opinions on this.
Moroccans firmly believe Western Sahara to be historically Moroccan. They also believe that Ceuta and Melilla are Moroccan, despite the fact they've been in Iberian hands for 500 years. They are called the colonized cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the TV and Radio.
The Moroccans I spoke to believe the government looked the other way to show displeasure at Spain because a Spanish minister visited Algeria to buy gas and oil. Obviously with the Iran war, Algeria's revenues and importance has grown.
Morocco and Algeria both view a side gaining influence as a zero-sum: if it's good for Morocco it is bad for Algerian interests and vice versa.
Meanwhile if all the north African countries united and built international infrastructure and cooperated like the UAE did, the entire southern Mediterranean coastal region would have been much better off.
One thing is clear: This cold war is a total waste of potential and a socioeconomic poison.
Enough to offset any KV cache miss expenses is the absolute minimum.
The smart play is to refund customers something like $20-50 worth of unsubsidized credits.
Those are high margin and only the equivalent of 45 minutes of Fable usage once the KV cache reload costs are factored in.
Yet customers often need a few credits to finish a job without waiting 5 hours or days for their reset.
Keep in mind openAI already gives me free resets I can use when I want which are very useful to me. Seems a no brainer to tack those to subscriptions, actually.
It gives the user a little more flexibility, a little more control over their tools.
There is an even higher level of creativity in creating books, songs and all sorts of art used in model training though. That's your apparent blindspot.
There is no world in which me vacuuming the entirety of human knowledge to make a genai model is ok but hoovering my model answers is not. The hypocrisy is stunning and risible.
Now if you go and make a model based on purely synthetic data and not a single work made by humans, you would have a valid point.
> There is an even higher level of creativity in creating books, songs and all sorts of art used in model training though.
No argument here, I completely agree.
> There is no world in which me vacuuming the entirety of human knowledge to make a genai model is ok but hoovering my model answers is not.
I disagree with this though. Clearly LLMs owe a huge debt to everything that has come before, but surely you'd agree that the models that are produced are something substantial and new and novel which didn't exist before and have lots of value in their own right. Let's be a bit reductive and pretend Moonshot had just outright stolen the weights from Fable somehow, clearly that wouldn't be contributing anything really new or novel. Now of course they've distilled rather than stolen, but the point is similar: how much value have they added along the way?
So, I'm not the person you were responding to. I'd like you to take a moment and suggest where anyone in the thread you're replying to, either me or Remus, has said anything that suggests disagreement with the statement
> There is an even higher level of creativity in creating books, songs and all sorts of art used in model training though.
He claimed there was more creativity in model training than in model distillation. That makes no claim about the relationship between the creativity in model creation and art. Why are you continuing to attack a claim that was never made, after a sub thread very explicitly clarifying that that claim was not made?
>Perhaps even more importantly, the current frontier LLM models are self-admittedly the product of enormous quantities of copyright infringement and even less savory inputs, so calling them out for distilling the fruit of that tainted tree reads as highly hypocritical at best.
Context is important. And in this context, their argument only mentions creativity when it belongs to an AI lab. That omission is the blind spot I pointed out. Bottom line is whether or not Anthropic are being hypocritical and yes, they most definitely are, regardless of any attempted sophistry.
There is a reason courts want you to tell "The whole truth" and not just "the truth".
Good news, and necessary to keep me on the MAX plan since Opus 4.8 is now 3rd best after Sol and Kimi 3 for SWE work.
The false cyber positives when doing normal coding tasks remain a big issue. They were not a big deal for weeks, as long as I stayed away from explicit hardening work or security audits, until recently.
They are a prime weakness for competitors to exploit.
This will not address the acidification of the oceans which is very bad but something is better than nothing.
Carbon capture is way too slow to work. It’s a rounding error.
