GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

Oh, I think the people getting rid of Lisa Kahn have other ideas about competition.

History starts when I say it does

Buy a supreme Court justice with the first 100M, then the rest of the court with the other Billion.

Genie comes from a time when offering any monetary loan is considered usury, doesn’t care about your governments made of mortals.

A wealth tax. With that we could fully fund all the research people mention and have the means to roll out the advancement in a way that doesn’t cause massive externalities.

Huh, I guess you can do just about anything if you’re willing to pay the political cost.

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

• Endorsements doesn’t transfer
• Campaign contributions doesn’t transfer
• Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

Money paw finger curls in

Don’t worry, Nancy wants Newsom to be the candidate.

If my house is on fire I couldn’t care less as long as they save my kids. Being a genuine asshole doesn’t deserve that fate.

Killed a fire fighter though 😡

You did not just fall out of a coconut tree. You exist in a context of all that came before you.

Clinton was a rightward leap of the Democratic party. In reality the left and right move in response to each other, but the direction it goes is not fixed.

Elon: The EV market has soured on me, I’m willing to trade the tax credits for something…

Don: I got just the thing: you can sell SpaceX satellites to the Russians

Elon: Perfect!

I love it when terrible people do terrible things to their own wealth. What I don’t love is how after a certain number of billions, you have an infinite wealth cheat code to fuck around with.

Why should I need to prove a negative? The burden is on the ones claiming an LLM is sentient. LLMs are token predictors, do I need to present evidence of this?

Humans predict things by assigning meaning to events and things, because in nature, we’re constantly trying to guess what other creatures are planning. An LLM does not hypothesize what your plans are when you communicate to it, it’s just trying to predict the next set of tokens with the greatest reward value. Even if you were to use literal human neurons to build your LLM, you would still have a stochastic parrot.

I mean if you ignore all the papers that point out how dubious the gen AI benchmarks are, then it is very impressive.

WDYM? The big corporations get a free pass to ignore their climate pledges and do the exact opposite.

You could accomplish the same CO2 reduction with fewer deaths if you start with the richest and work your way down.
