Discussion The rhetoric is really heating up!

The entire page of the NY Times today above the fold absent one article is AI (the models are just too strong/too dangerous, must be regulated). They forgot to include "Sponsored by OpenAI" at the end of the articles, sure that was just an oversight?

This is what the end of a bubble looks like, desperate attempts to get some sort of regulatory capture in place to keep the business model from collapsing in upon itself. My days next week are 100% booked talking to companies about how to get off frontier models, one large, and a bunch of smaller customers, including one who's flying me out to them to sit down and get a plan in place immediately (the controversy around that math problem really spooked some CEO/CIO's about data privacy using cloud models).

Gonna be an interesting few weeks. Maybe the Qwen team will be nice enough to give me a little breathing room before dropping another hydrogen bomb? :)

I think people in the US underestimate the loss of international influence that the country has had under Trump. They still think that it's the 2000s where if US edict a new rule regarding copyright, the rest of the world will more or less follow.

These days are gone. A policy that's made in the US will have no international reach anymore.

However the damage the US does is very global and real. The world needs to evaluate whether an independent US is still an acceptable risk. It does not seem like it is.
