My dream for a parsing library / language is that it would be able to read, manipulate, and then re-serialize the data. I'm sure there are a ton of edge cases there, but the round trip would be so useful for fuzzing and program analysis.

Just to note though, source copyright extends to its compiled form. There is probably an analogue there for model weights.

I was just going to fill it out how I would normally live Self Care > No Medication and immediately failed. That makes it feel like it has an agenda.

This article seems to have scoped AI as LLMs and totally missed the revolutionary application that is self driving cars. There will be a lot more applications outside of chat assistants.

The incentives are very poor in art, yet artists still create. I don't need people making video games for the incentives, I want the artists.

Interesting interpreting those as individualist. First can be read as a concern for family. Second is community and society. Third is also protection of community, you would be making a choice to intervene (an individual would leave). Fourth also is not the individual but again, family.

Catastrophic AI risk is such a larp. The systems are not sentient. The risk will always be around the human driving the LLM, not the LLM itself. We already have laws governing human behavior, company behavior. If an entity violates a law using an LLM, it has nothing to do with the LLM.

My battery was going out on my 12 and I got an SE. It's a good experience. If you can get a thumb print one, I personally like it a lot more than face ID.

Here is my PR, it aligns perfectly with the project goals. It contains a backdoor as binary blob that will be loaded dynamically upon execution. The models are nowhere near catching this and it would get merged. Even more simply, a subtle bug leading to a vulnerable release. They do not have logic enough to catch this stuff.

There was a DARPA program on this topic called Social Cyber. [1]

The CEO of the last startup I was at was like that. Very much an archetype in my mind now. I will never work with someone like that again.

Yes, that is what I am saying. Our banks are the problem. Does the 0.5% have a flat fee attached to it or could I make a 1 cent charge (+ 1 cent fee)?

Edit: There are still gateway fees so my point stands.

Everything should be pay-as-you-go. We need infrastructure for low fee microtranscactions. Subscriptions exist because of the minimums on card payments. You can't charge a cent to read an article because the banks will be taking 20c + 2%.

Micropayments are my dream. I'm extremely negative on cryptocurrency but the lightning network is the closest technology I have seen to achieving it. It is just a nightmare to use. I looked into going through banks and it was just a nightmare to set up something that had the hint of being a money service business. I will feel like the future has arrived when I can pay 5 cents for a news article or pay per second on a YouTube video.

Micropayments would also unseat advertising (and tracking!) as the defacto payment mechanism on the web.

I also backed this in 2018 and have not received it yet. Absolutely insane.
