Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.
I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.
I painstakingly used video transcription searches to figure out where I heard this from and I finally found it!
It was touched on in this video Something’s Hiding Outside This Game… at 52 minutes.
The actual work being talked about is Three Versions of Judas by Jorge Luis Borges.
There’s a fascinating idea that Judas was the one who committed the ultimate sacrifice. That god chose him to be his human incarnate, to truly experience humanity and guilt by committing an ultimate betrayal and becoming the villain of biblical history. All allowing him to finally understand and forgive humanity’s sin, by committing one himself. It follows that this is supposedly maddening knowledge as it breaks the illusion of Christ’s sacrifice.
I’m definitely butchering and ad-libbing the original idea, but I think this makes for a grander story than the traditional “birth myself to sacrifice myself to myself to forgive everyone else” interpretation.
The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse
In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or a ponzi scheme inflated stocks.
So a tricky thing with LGBT words is they seem to vary around specificity.
Like people can say gay to mean gay men, gay people, or any kind of queer.
Similarly transgender can mean a gender identity not matching your biological sex, which includes genderfluid; or it can mean specifically a binary trans man/woman.
These aren’t different valid opinions about the label. They are literally just different definitions for the words that depend on context. The words mean all of those things but usually only one in each context.
Eeeeeh maybe not “CP settings”…
Theoretically we could slow down training and coast on fine-tuning existing models. Once the AI’s trained they don’t take that much energy to run.
Everyone was racing towards “bigger is better” because it worked up to GPT4, but word on the street is that raw training is giving diminishing returns so the massive spending on compute is just a waste now.
Happened to my brother, normal democrat who agreed with feminism and disliked Trump.
Then fiancee left him for another man, took a hard right thanks to Jordan Peterson.
What resonated with me is people calling LLMs and Stable Diffusion “copyright laundering”. If copyright ever swung in AI’s favor it would be super easy to train an AI on stuff you want to steal, add in some generic training, and now you have a “new” piece of art.
LLMs and Stable Diffusion are just compression algorithms for abstract patterns, only one level above data.
Huh, didn’t know that! I mainly mentioned it for the fact that it was crammed into products that didn’t need it, like fridges and toasters where it’s usually seen as superfluous, much like AI.
I wonder if we’ll start seeing these tech investor pump n’ dump patterns faster collectively, given how many has happened in such a short amount of time already.
Crypto, Internet of Things, Self Driving Cars, NFTs, now AI.
It feels like the futurism sheen has started to waver. When everything’s a major revolution inserted into every product, then isn’t, it gets exhausting.
I would accept Mind Control in any scenario except if they realize they were mind controlled (damn D&D).
If it’s short range I’d finally get a decent job and would never have to worry about being attacked in public.
If it can be used over camera, become an influencer, “hey guys if all of you that are within your means could donate 1 dollar to my GoFundMe I’d greatly appreciate it”. Instant semi ethical riches.
If I could use it on the mirror, “Wirlocke you’re going to feel well rested and do x task”.
And his name was, Housman?
You can’t convince me the universe doesn’t have a morbid sense of humor.
Once Google Maps directed me through the scenic route to work. Turns out there was a massive crash on the highway.
Not only would I have been late I would also have to survive traffic hell.
It also tells you where speed traps are ahead of time. I’ve always wondered how the cops feel about Google snitching on them like that.
Looks at the United States government as a citizen
I’ll take my chances.
To get more direct to the point you could use those unrendered dummy links to ban whatever IPs click them.
With the vast amounts of training data and how curated they’re becoming (Llama and Claude are going that direction) it’s infeasible to actually poison a large model to this degree.
I think there was something about the US government having to finally get rid of vacuum tubes because the only suppliers were in Russia.
For normal people, to be late to something.
For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.
The infrastructure would be things like fiber cable wired to each house.
But in this scenario, the ISPs would be manning the servers that your connection is routed through. So they’d still have massive influence on the speed and data.
If the government owned the servers, they could block and track down anything against state interest.
Not saying they can’t do that anyways, but at least the third party makes the process more difficult, less seamless, and gives the chance of new competitors.
If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.
He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.
