What are you suggesting should have been done here?

To be fair, there are important differences between open source and closed source software.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

E099: PROGRAMMER IS OVERLY POLITE

The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.

otherwise we would just switch it off

If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.

A paperclip maximizer driven by self-preservation? What could possiblie go wrong?

We are Linux. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your hard drive will be reformatted to service us. Resistance is futile.

From a national security standpoint of the government, it absolutely does matter who has the data.

Unpopular opinion: The Windows Registry, a centralized, strongly typed key:value database for application settings, is actually superior to hundreds of individual dotfiles, each one written in its own janky customized DSL, with its own idea of where it should live in the file system, etc.

I think we should have a rule that says if a LLM company invokes fair use on the training inputs then the outputs are public domain.
