I think there are lots of conflicting sources. (I’m sure ISW knows better than I do, I’m an internet rando.) Other visualizations I’ve looked at show very slow advances over the last couple of months.

I’m looking forward to the oversupply of RAM and SSDs in 5 years from now. Painful at the moment though, I’m praying that my PC survives

Since February (the timeline you are claiming), Ukraine has lost territory. Not a lot, but Russia is creeping forward. Kostiantynivka in particular seems like it’s in trouble.

Now please understand, I don’t actually think it matters who gains a km here or there. Ukraine is doing the right thing by enforcing “long range sanctions”, and I think they’re going to win because of it. But I’m under no illusions that Ukraine is capturing more territory than they are losing right now.

I want to believe that is true, but things are still dire for Ukraine. Russia is still constantly creeping forward, taking territory little by little.

Ukraine is doing the right thing though, starve Russia of fuel. With enough of that, they won’t be able to resupply their troops and their war machine will collapse.

The really crazy thing is that this model still performs well at one-bit quantization, which shows it’s got a lot of room for improvement on size. It’s within an order of magnitude of being able to be run on consumer hardware, which would be an even more amazing kick in the balls to American AI companies.

Honestly the US government needs to step in and break them up, and nationalize the space launch business for national security reasons. They won’t, but they should if they want to be smart about it.

“I built a single neuron to prove that brains aren’t sentient” is obviously dumb.

I’m not claiming that LLMs are sentient (their current forms can’t be, for several reasons) but this research is poorly done.

Besides, judging sapience entirely off of the processing substrate is a serious “no true Scotsman” kind of thing.

It’s an obvious reference to <insert thing I don’t like here>.

C*nsorship is my kink.

Only for a year or so. Any company still vulnerable after these tools have been out long enough deserve it.

Yes, and if they do go up, that would actually benefit the citizens, because they are publicly owned. I’m not sure why this is hard to understand? The only difference is that it’s not owned by tech oligarchs.

In what way is a tax a purchase? It’s ownership but not purchase.

The government, on threat of imprisonment, says give us your stock. No money changes hands, only the AI companies lose.

Oh no doubt, the industry is very, very sick. Incestuous even.

In the other hand, there’s very little downside to a 50% tax on all AI companies. It’s not an investment so there’s no chance of losing your nest egg.

Nobody is purchasing the shares here, it’s a tax.

Yes, that’s how national organizations work. It’s not like some random VC firm that privately owns the stock. It’d be owned by the nation, and the directors would be required to pay dividends to the public on those profits.

This is basic sovereign wealth fund stuff.

He’s calling to tax 50% of all the company shares in AI, making it a public benefit.

Can you imagine being the soldier who pulled the trigger on that one? Oof

Eventually you’ll be able to walk around invisibly simply by not carrying a phone.
