Come on, UK! I expected more of you! The whole world is waiting for you to continue to catapult yourself back into the bronze age, and this decision is simply cheating because someone at OFCOM realized how FUCKING STUPID all of this is and wanted to keep Wikipedia around.

Stop cheating, get back to bronzeagemaxxing lads!

I agree - their approach towards the rest of the world is so very entitled that no person outside of that state can take them seriously anymore. It's like they think that the world owes them something, while in reality the Brits have a pretty large amount of atonement in their todo list.

Will the Brits realize that the times when they were a world spanning empire are over before they are the laughing stock of the rest of the civilized world?

If you are suggesting that LLMs are sentient, then this isn't a "mild disagreement", it's the San Andreas fault.

I am certain that LLMs are a step into the direction of AGI, but it's a small piece of the puzzle. There are so many technological leaps that have to happen before AGI can become real that I am certain that neither of us will see that day.

If you have such an open mind, then please also read the paper they released, which is a lot more careful in how all of this is framed. This article is here to drive VC funding, not for scientific accuracy, and this is not the first time Anthropic has framed things in a sensationalist way that had no basis in the reality of the paper. (the blackmail-thing for example.)

You think those companies have any shred of decency? Even if they could prove without a doubt that these statistical models are more than just that - that wouldn't change a thing in how they were used. We can't even agree that all humans should have the same amount of rights - how do you think an sentient program would fare?

And regarding the global economy: the only "global economy" thing i can see at the moment is a group of companies that are overvalued because of circular cash flows and artificial hype that stems from an assumption that LLMs can somehow become AGI, which would inflate the value of those companies into infinity. We are currently not even able to measure a ROI for these things, and companies worldwide are pulling emergency breaks in usage because of the costs, which are not even covering what the inference itself costs. The only "Global" thing here will be the crash, fucking up the DIY PC market for a decade or longer.

I am educated enough to know my statistics, the workings of LLMs and enough science for a bacc. in molecular biology. I don't need to be a frontier researcher to recognize the difference between the laid out facts in the paper and the suggestions they make in this article, which are simply there to keep the LLM-hype train going and to make sure VC keeps flowing.

I am NOT anti-machinelearning techniques, not even anti LLM, i run them locally for my own uses. But i am very against manipulating the markets into shoving even more cash into this all-devouring black hole, and this article is part of this manipulation.

I finally meet someone who has really bought into the "LLMs will lead to AGI" bullshit Altman and Amodei are pushing. Cool, i know those types are rare here on lemmy, i'm gonna tag you like i would a golden Pokemon!

Roblox is the worst of the bunch, exploiting unpaid child work and doing nothing against the real predators.

I read the whole thing. Nothing there, when taken at face value, suggests that this J-Space is more than an area that's similar to a cache. It might be useful to prevent injection attacks or reduce hallucinations, but it is NOT conscience.

It's really interesting. The old web was the wild west, and back then you really had to know where to look for shady stuff (except the morons who put it on the open web and were sacked by the respective authorities). Nowadays this shit is commercialized and running ads on social media - as if protecting children does not actually have anything to do with privacy violations, age verification, ALPRs or preventing teens from using social media, but rather actual police work that doesn't create a population that is naked to the eye of the state.

Everyone who goes for backdooring encryption and ID verification just wants to automate the punishment of dissidents who want something different than the ruling class.

As long as there is no space for air to get trapped between the glass and a reflector, it's no issue to put it on the inside (although its more effective when on the outside) - those foils that can be put on the window using a little bit of water do a good job. Biggest problem are dark objects when only away a few centimeters from the glass - those will crack the window in no time.

At least where i live, non-permanent modifications that use things like suction cups don't need approval from a landlord.

This is such an overwhelming power grab in line with all the other crap they are currently pushing like disabling Manifest V2. The US urgently needs to ramp up their antitrust legislation, or else - if you extrapolate the current trajectories - they might soon be in a position where the US government has to do what google says and not the other way around
