i fucking hated law school despite having a lot of formal education in history and philosophy and i barely passed it. anecdotally having an interest in humanities made me dislike studying law.

i don't know how best to describe it but valve's balancing and design philosophy is just fun, it doesn't have this sort of sanitised feel to it that say riot or blizzard have with their games where things have to be 'fair'
'mogging' and 'mog' are just inherently funny words in a phonetic sense tbh, like i get that its incel lingo but its really fucking funny.
"Liberal regimes fighting with the odds so heavily in their favour in material terms and the sense of 'history being on their side' have an impatient expectation of victory - call this the pressure of the philosophy of history. If you are truly convinced your victory is inevitable, resistance is, as the saying goes, futile. Opponents that engage in futile resistance, exacting a price from you, long after their defeat is inevitable, are treated as 'mad dogs' that demand their own destruction. Not just their defeat but their erasure and total destruction. Rather than encouraging liberal agents of history to raise themselves to great personal efforts and sacrifice, this philosophy of history, this sense of historic inevitability counsels the opposite. If your barbaric, cruel enemy does not understand that they must lose, if they want to go down in a meaningless suicidal blaze, there is no reason anyone on your side should needlessly expose themselves to risk. After all, that would deprive those citizen soldiers of the victorious future that is rightfully theirs. Instead, minimise your own losses and let massive firepower do the work. Collateral damage, especially if it occurs on the enemy side, is barely worth a mention."

OAI staggering releases to make GPT-4 look like it was faster than it actually was was a genius marketing move but they haven't done anything interesting for near two years now.
yeah, iirc the first step to singularity or at least what causes it is an ASI so we have this community of dweebs thinking that that'll solve everything and not, like, communism, which probably won't solve everything but certainly more than whatever the fuck llms are doing.
"This whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit."
"Every hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed."
""AGI is coming out next year" - this sub for the last 4 years"

the SMO isn't full-scale until russians who aren't from majority poor rural oblasts start having to fight
the kamala revisionism in general is just so disheartening to witness, this is the exact same kopmala from 2020 and everybody that's like not on this site is somehow unironically excited for her. not a burger so at the end of the day i can't do shit about it either.

the state doesn't like directly suppressing dissident speech because that task is offloaded onto the private sector.
yes if not simply just for modding and piracy.

euros: yeah we dont see race, it's just culture were enlightened like that unlike the burgers haha
anglo: yeah haha but like asians/arabs/south asians/africans are actually like so much more racist than us though like have you seen how discriminatory japanese people are?
i really resent that frameworks dont ship to where i live, definitely a mild annoyance to not have the treats unfortunately
Musk is suing OpenAI. Musk's legal teams' argument in two premises is:
- OpenAI's 'contract' as stated in their founding agreement was to make any AGI system for the benefit of humanity.
- GPT-4 is an AGI system ∴ OpenAI, by licensing GPT-4 exclusively to Microsoft, has effectively breached this agreement by making the first AGI system beholden to corporate interests. Musk's team also alleges that OpenAI is effectively an Microsoft subsidiary at the moment.
OpenAI deserves the lawsuits, but alleging that GPT-4 as a base model is anywhere close to AGI is probably not the angle to put it lightly.
Some other arguments: > OpenAI has comitted promissory estoppel by moving away from the open source non-profit model Musk initially invested in.
(This means that OpenAI has breached a promise enforceable by Law)
> OpenAI has committed a breach of fiduciary duty by using Musk's funding on for-profit projects against the initial understanding of that funding's usage - letting Microsoft on OpenAI's Board of Directors and not open-sourcing GPT-4 are their examples of this.
(OpenAI had a legal responsibility to act in the best interests of their clients, which they failed)
> OpenAI has engaged in unfair business practices by convincing Musk they would commit to the 'Founding Agreement'
(I think this is self explanatory)
DAMAGES
Musk wants:
A. Court to order OpenAI to follow their 'Founding Agreement' which means cutting the Microsoft connection and open sourcing.
B. A judicial ruling that GPT-4 constitutes AGI, and any followup models related to it.
C. Return of all money Musk invested into OpenAI that was spent on 'for-profit' projects.
D. General damages to be determined by court.
Personally, I think banging hard on the 'GPT-4 is AGI angle' is a really mistaken line of argument and it's a huge weakspot in their case. OpenAI can probably be sued for a lot of things, as we're seeing with NYT, so it's not like this is their only angle of approach. I want to see them get sued in court just in a vindictive sense, but I don't think this is how you do it.
