I mean it’s a beautiful name, who really cares if it’s named after a genus of Cicadas? There are worse sounding “normal” names out there. Plus it’s named after OP’s passion, I think that shows a lot of love

So providing a fine-tuned model shouldn’t either.

I didn’t mean in terms of providing. I meant that if someone provided a base model, someone took that and but on of it, then used it for a harmful purpose - of course the person modified it should be liable, not the base provider.

It’s like if someone took a version of Linux, modified it, then used that modified version for a similar person - you wouldn’t go after the person who made the unmodified version.

SB 1047 is a California state bill that would make large AI model providers – such as Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral – liable for the potentially catastrophic dangers of their AI systems.

Now this sounds like a complicated debate - but it seems to me like everyone against this bill are people who would benefit monetarily from not having to deal with the safety aspect of AI, and that does sound suspicious to me.

Another technical piece of this bill relates to open-source AI models. […] There’s a caveat that if a developer spends more than 25% of the cost to train Llama 3 on fine-tuning, that developer is now responsible. That said, opponents of the bill still find this unfair and not the right approach.

In regards to the open source models, while it makes sense that if a developer takes the model and does a significant portion of the fine tuning, they should be liable for the result of that…

But should the main developer still be liable if a bad actor does less than 25% fine tuning and uses exploits in the base model?

One could argue that developers should be trying to examine their black-boxes for vunerabilities, rather than shrugging and saying it can’t be done then demanding they not be held liable.

When you’re calling a terrorist organisation your ally, surely you’ve got to realise what side of history you’re on right?

I mean Putin probably does, but he doesn’t care as long as he gets to be king president

Alright, fine. You can have 20 miles or so, but nothing more. Oh and all the islands around it are still our’s.

Could’ve told you that 10 years ago. Literally the moment online came out and they suddenly they stopped talking about story DLCs, I knew we weren’t getting them.

The story-mode campaign is now just a gateway drug to their online cash-cow - I bet you it’ll be the same for GTA 6

A law like that would’ve been incredibly helpful back when those Brexit buses were claiming to somehow give the NHS £350M a week, most of which technically never even existed in the first place (as we got back something like 200M a week).

Having Farage, Boris, and their cronies be forced to resign (or even face prison) would’ve been a damn delight.

I’m less surprised by the GOP’s willingness to sink humanity for the sake of short-term profits than I am that Trump takes 45 minutes to wash that mop he calls his hair

As someone with ASD, I can’t say I’ve seen that much difference in the time it takes NT/ND people to get over a fight.

While I have seen some consistency across the sexes, in that guys seem to hold onto arguments for less time on average, even that varies quite a lot.

I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where human artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!

Whelp if science is a religion, at least our pastors aren’t covering up for child-molestation.

But seriously though, even when not being grifters, it’s like as though conservatives just never developed a theory of mind - they can’t process the idea of people who don’t possess some kind of dogmatic faith.

Some people prefer to follow where the evidence leads, rather than what the pastor says.

Ah great - SCOTUS will likely side with the e-sig companies, with absolutely no bribes involved, then e-cig companies will flood the market with colourful, flavoured products designed to entice young people (who may never have smoked otherwise) into starting on e-cigs.

I knew what these were the moment I first saw them advertised as a way to get people to quit smoking - they are, and always were a trojan horse designed to entice a new generation of nicotine addicts. Nothing more, nothing less.

If it can be justified by hatred or billionaire interests, it’ll absolutely be on there. Because if there’s one thing Republicans hate more than anything, it’s people that are different (or think differently) to them leading happy lives.

Of course Clarence, the most openly corrupt, would be the one to dissent against the OSHA case. Clarence can go fuck himself

Not that I would ever suggest it, but I bet the moment a president even attempted to abuse this official power against these six conservative traitors to democracy, they’d desperately try to walk this decision back - they only care for the potential of abuse when it negatively affects them

Fair enough. Subordinate is the term I’ve always heard used. Direct reports just sounds like the sugar coated version to me.

It really saddens to me see how many managers out there treat their subordinates terribly, and then act surprised when their subordinates do the same - as though employees are meant to greatful for their terrible treatment

Win11 becomes a less and less appealing switch day by day… When I can no longer hold into Win10, I think I’ll just have to jump ship to Linux.

Win10 is already quite privacy poor, but Win11 is straight up intolerable.

Well I suppose the answer I’d give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries

Again, if you started writing 0.999… on a piece of paper, it would never suddenly become 1, it would always be 0.999… - you know that to be true without even trying it.

The difference is virtually nonexistent, and that is what makes them mathematically equal, but there is a difference, otherwise there wouldn’t be an infinitely long string of 9s between the two.
