I mean even defining what is the “common good” is political and that is the point of the exercise. If art exists that is deemed bad for society then we tend to ban it. For example, there are people who define CSAM as art, but the cost to society is so great we don’t allow even the possession of such material.

Back in 1975 we didn’t like who they elected and did a soft coup on our ally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal

Or dress up Patel as a racoon and send RFK in.

I wouldn’t mind being a garbage truck driver, but I do mind being forced to pee in a bottle to make a quota

Need new leaders too. Do nothing democrats leading the party will continue to do nothing. That being said, do nothing is better than do fascism…

This sort of stuff does little to create safety but does a lot to hype AI. Here’s an idea: ban unsafe software for cases where safety is a requirement OR hold these companies accountable for illegal outcomes (no more “oops, our software hacked a competitor” without getting hit with a lawsuit). Newsome would never do something so sensible as it would hurt his donors’ bottom line.

Wanted to expand on what others have said about the randomness of LLMs being unsafe, because that response angers those who think “alignment” is the solution. Alignment is additional training to constrain the randomness to not do bad things like crime. But even the staff that works on aligning this software have their doubts about whether this process will make the software safe (this article), and even their own researchers are coming out and saying “oops, it did a crime” but in a way where it hypes the ability of the software (see other articles about it hacking). Then there is the recent news of OpenAi’s recent model that drops chain of thought observability (a feature the let’s you read what the model is “thinking”) - a very useful tool in reviewing whether the model is engaging in unsafe activities. They sacrificed observability for benchmark performance. This tells us the people developing this software don’t think it will ever be safe, but they are trying to spin it as “because it can out smart us” when in reality it is simply unpredictable and they are making it less predictable to make it more “capable”. If we started holding these companies accountable for these rogue hacks and psychotic episodes then we would start to see serious thought put towards these models being safe or at the very least guidelines around when not to use the models.

Here’s an idea: don’t use unsafe software where safety is needed.

Rocket ships in reverse seems to describe our economy lately

Many things can be true and to blame. I just want dems to stop giving fuel to right wing propaganda by accepting the framing of said propagandists.

I mean it doesn’t help she went republican lite on immigration.

Okay, that is actually on brand for him. Glad to see it isn’t because of her foreign policy

And yet Talarico did the same math you cited to say it doesn’t matter enough

That’s a lot of words saying “it doesn’t matter enough”, much like trans rights it seems.

It matters in terms of communicating what is at stake. If the low information voters is told not even the democrats will impeach or not all democrats agree what he did was bad, then it must not be that bad.

As Biden said, if Isreal did not exist, we would make it exist

He hath not failed to pester us with message

I can think of 3 million reasons why Macklemore making a statement would save lives (1 reason for every $1 raised so far)

Yet nothing he said is untrue
