The economy doesn't need workers as consumers necessarily. It would of course be a huge shock to the economy but the economy could adjust to it eventually. Maybe it compromises the 2040 timeline. Still, billionaires are increasingly holding the assets. The money supply drying up can be countered, as it is controlled by central banks and can be arbitrarily increased.
To interpret charitably, I guess we could solve this for religion = technological development so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic. It's been done in some Star Trek episodes I think.
A dedicated server is a bunch of risk and skilled administration work compared to using a container platform or serverless. Many more people have been pwned by consequences of neglected server administration than managed serverless/container platform VM escapes.
EU's leadership doesn't have much power that way, the EU is a thin layer on the countries.
In the US the federal government has much more power but nobody is attributing the term good fortunes of the AI industry to the recent federal policy there. (There's long term stuff that does make a difference in hoovering up the global R&D talent and concentrating capital, but that's a different kettle)
There's very little betting on any particular AI models going on by the commission/EP. The Pleias article claims a 2020 eurocrat whitepaper determined how things go, but that's fantastical.
I get where you're coming from but I'd argue the kvm group is still better even when you automatically give all human users membership. You can then have less-privileged accounts for service roles, for example nginx doesn't need kvm acccess.
Depends on your setup, you can have per-app permissions too. Flatpak, snap etc do this for desktop apps, Android does it, containerized server apps do it. But of course if it turns out you're running malware, you're going to have problems when it transpires that you've delegated something valuable to it, even if it doesn't break out of its permission set.
Linux controls access using configurable file permissions, so this has a false premise. The better question is doesn't RHEL really use a kvm group to limit access like other distributions? If so, why?
The others above USA are tiny countries. USA is at 14, Saudi Arabia at 20, EU at 5, China at 9. The reductions in absolute tonnage for USA are big because there's a lot of low hanging fruit left. And it's partly a petrostate.
BeOS was marketed, there was an attempt. But it was a harder sell. Plan 9 on the other hand was was kept as a research project only and was restrictively licensed in the 90s when it was actively developed.
"[CCP General Secretary] finally commits fully to the big AI push he had previously tried to avoid. He sets in motion the nationalization of Chinese AI research"
Current accelerators (TPUs, various onchip NPUs) are something close to this. Systolic array is the estabilished computer architecture term for flowing data from computation to computation without the overhead of a register file or von Neumann bottleneck.
Free market would of course allow bootleg DVD sales, state regulation that gives monopoly rights restrict it.
In the context of LLMs, monopoly rights haven't been created (yet anyway).
Fun fact: for a period the US (or american colonies) didn't have copyright but Europe did, so people could copy and sell English (and other) books for free.
