Imagine if it was owned by a government, such as China. What do you think would happen? Even if it was owned by US government, how much content do you think would get purged from the library when someone like Trump got elected? See what happened to NPR or PBS.
I'm aware of this policy. I cannot re-find the source, but there was an investigative piece somewhere that found they continued to take money from fossil-fuel aligned companies. I cannot find it after trying to look again admittably, though I am unsure if it because of my poor memory and that it didn't exist in the first place or because search engines are poor at this sort of thing. They do however continue to take ads from very high carbon industries like airlines and the such however.
They largely share my views, I am not suspicious because they don't align with my views, I am suspicious of all profit-motivated companies equally.
I don't know but likely not. Factories were powered by steam then, and had a "power plant" on site. So they didn't convert to electricity until it was reliable and guaranteed.
Was anything regulated in those times? You could legally buy humans at that time.
But that doesn't mean we live with same standards. Lack of regulations in electricity led to a lot of deaths and disaster which is why it was regulated.
But we dont live in the start of 20th century, we live in 2026 and we must learn from the past instead of helbent on repeating it.
It isn’t 10k MRR from day one. It also doesn’t make sense to think “well, now that I’m a big boy let’s move to a fancy stack , even if there is no need for it”
token usage go up, said companies $TICKER price go up, shareholder value delivered.
when shareholders are basically the same, and this companies have a legal obligation to fulfill their interests...is it a conspiracy? shareholders certainly conspire to achieve their goals, smarty
Anthropic stood up to the Pentagon because they were worried of potential abuse of their model. Never before a US company was labeled supply chain risk by the US government. That's a lot of business. Action speaks louder than words.
As for what your country can do, it's up to you to decide, isn't it? Instead of complaining about the US, think about the alternatives. Do you trust China to be your partner? Suppose you are being objective and say no, then what do your country need to do?
You have to decide whether AI capability is critical that your country must own. What factors prevent it from happening in the first place, what need to change and whether you accept changes that may come as the results.
On the other hand, if you say that AI is just a bubble, that the huge investment pouring into it is just greed and fraud, then I suppose you are ok with the status quo.
It is a witch hunt with no evidence whatsoever, all based on intuition. It is distraction from the main topic, a topic that enough people find interesting to stay on the top page. What was intellectually interesting has now become a bore fest of repeated back and forth. That’s disrespectful and inconsiderate. Write a new post about why do you think AI writing is dangerous. I don’t mind that. I’d upvote it.
> Coding agents write code that doesn't converge, meaning code that they cannot evolve after a while
That's not true, and I'm not sure what that even means. It's totally up to you the human to ensure AI code mergable or evolvable, or meet your quality standard in general. I certainly have had to tell Claude to use different approaches for maintainability, and the result is not different than if I do it myself.
Sure, if you vigilantly review the agent's output and say no when it's wrong (which happens very frequently) then things work. I meant that without such ver close supervision things don't converge because agents make mistakes that compound.
