Submission + - Elon Musk Goes Nuclear (theatlantic.com) 2

The world's richest man and the president of the United States are now openly fighting.

Trump threatened to cancel Space X government contracts and Musk accused Trump to be a frequent flyer to the Pedophile Island. This would be highly entertaining if not for the potential to wreck companies, ruin the economy, and sabotage legislative agenda.

Comment That means lots, not none. (Score 1) 36

Nobody is really in favour of limited government because when push comes to shove those who profess being in favour of limited government remain so only until they get into power.

If what you say is true it means lots, not none, are in favor of limited government because they do not seek power over others and thus wish for possible power over them to be minimized...

Basically the age-old axiom, most people just want to be left the hell alone.

Comment Regulations are pointless with AI anyway (Score 5, Interesting) 36

Being for limited government, I am also against the 10 year moratorium on AI regulation (and giant bills generally).

But also that is because what are regulations going to do? They can't stop you from accessing a web site in another country running some hyper advanced AI model, or downloading AI malware that can jack your system.

All regulations can possibly do is retard (in the classic sense of the word) tools in the states or countries of whatever places are stupid enough to even try to regulate AI. It's going to hurt enough companies that try to follow the law that it's a bad idea and would provide no benefit you are seeking through the regulation.

In fact if you really believe AI can even be dangerous at all then the only possible thing you can do is to advocate for as much AI as possible to counter the "bad" AI.

The point is that the tax code is contradictory so if they want to prosecute YOU they absolutely can.

It's how they got Al Capone and they've indicted Roger Ver for daring to say Bitcoin is broken by making up completely novel and new interpretations of tax code never before applied to anybody, much less a former citizen, and that's after he asked them how much he owed and paid it.

At the same time Trump is investing in BTC in his businesses and needs NGU.

Three things are inevitable: death, taxes, and corruption.

I don't like any of these people but those who use the service have infinitely better privacy guarantees with Regeneron than Wojcicki.

FDA would clobber a drug company for selling genetic data to advertising or insurance companies.

Which may be why the Tech Bros have a pile of cash to hijack the Court process.

Don't forget about Bankruptcy - suppliers get stiffed by Courts.

If it's a start-up/salary/loss/bankruptcy scheme the payers are the suppliers of product, rent, investors, utilities, etc.

Not that I've seen any evidence of misdeeds in this case. Just be careful in assuming Bankruptcy isn't corporate welfare.

Invoicing has its conveniences but it's a tradeoff with cash-on-the-barrel certainty.

Personally I prefer cash and prepaid services. YMMV.

The issue is going to be if the malicious actor "permanently deleted" the AWS and Github accounts. Domain registration, DNS, internal checkout scripts tied to a github account, etc.

The backups, if they exist, are the easy part of this DR Scenario.

Not that anybody writes DR plans anymore or that any of the Big Tech sites support Shamir's Secret Splitting for account deletion (or offer real customer service).

This aspect of IT is the most highly neglected, aside from workers' rights and competitive pay.

Comment Who would use it more than once? (Score 3, Interesting) 54

The summary claimed the company had $50m in revenue (the real number, not corrected).

I can't understand how it got any revenue, ever - if you ask any real AI to produce code you'll have results in a minute or so.

But if it was backed by people writing real code, answers would have taken many minutes to hours to produce! Heck just the time to write a summary of the request would seem awfully long.

Who would use that after any trial? Who was paying them at all?

Or was it 700 engineers each with a trial chatGPT account just pasting questions and answers back and forth between user and chatGPT?
