I'm also heavily leaning towards Libertarian/Anarcho-Capitalist. My thought on the matter is that whatever solution we come up with to resolve this particular issue is the same one we need to do to resolve the greater societal issues we are seeing, because I think the root cause is the same.

Beyond that, part of the Libertarian line of thought is that we have to "let go" and let things fall where they may because we have no moral claim over it. The area of effect we have as individuals is quite small so it makes sense to focus in that direction rather. So that would mean things like family, neighborhood, community, shared culture/religion, and the institutions that build on those.

I myself try to be involved with and sit on the boards of HoAs, to add some sanity and fairness to it. I've also been helping pay for close family friends to go through college. I'm also planning on doing charity work for the groups I feel closest to in my local context (South Africa).

Note that this applies to Proton Mail.
Proton Mail is considered to be a communication service, and in most countries (including Switzerland), communication services are regulated to some extent. All companies need to comply with the local law.

That being said, Swiss law is very restrictive, and there are a lot of hurdles that one needs to jump through to get a court order. And even with a court order (and has been proved multiple times in court), there is no way to break Proton Mail's encryption. Privacy is not the same as anonymity, and due to the way the internet works, if anonymity is what you are going after, you have to exercise proper infosec and take preventive measures, such as using Tor or VPN.

Under Swiss law, the treatment of VPNs is different, and VPNs can indeed be no-logs, like Proton VPN is. No-logs VPN is also possible in other countries as well. What makes Switzerland different, and possibly unique, is that within the current Swiss legal framework, Proton VPN also does not have forced logging obligations.

Whenever I see people talking about how they use ChatGPT to write entire software suites, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or something. I can't even get GPT4 to give me decent basic ass Ruby scripts where it opens a file that doesn't have some weird behavioral quirk or footgun, yet people often claim that they're doing insane feats with it all the time.

My experience, even if I'm just trying to be lazy and have it generate some super generic code for me, is that I have to spend double the time I'd have spent if I just wrote the damn script myself with how much I have to scrutinize every single line it generates.

And I personally have 0 desire to prompt "engineer" and do the "Open"AI's work for it by thinking up the perfect prompt for it. One day for sure these AI models will be really good and able to do some impressive stuff, but for now all I can see is a hype wave from people with vested interests in this stuff pushing it onto ignorants, akin to the crypto BS just with even more money behind it.

How about $99 to register plus $10,000 fine + 100% of proceeds of perfidy + termination for certain misbehavior + mandatory presence of someone company or individual present in a country willing to enforce such a provision.

If you want it to really stick make them buy a bond against in such a jurisdiction. After one party has been burned for their 10k they'll find their former partner exceedingly aggressive in recovering their money and none willing to do business.

Furthermore most of such abusive behavior is trivially recognizable based on dollar figures involved, behavior, organic reviews, complaints. In this day and age there isn't much excuse for a trillion dollar company not to have automated 99% of the situation and employ labor to handle the rest.
I don't think I made my point clear.

Less than 5% of what I'm doing is related to typography (namely: only when displaying text for the end user). 95% of the time when I manipulate text, the text is intended for a computer to process further. I don't want typographic issues such as the proper length of spaces when delimiting keywords on the command line, or proper collation order to slow down my `git grep`, any more than I want to be bothered by variable width fonts when I'm writing code.

UTF-8 to compose user visible strings in GUI is a godsend, though.

There is a Swiss startup which is doing something like this.

I don't think that's true. It helps to know a few obscure facts about LLMs. For example, they understand their own level of uncertainty. Their eagerness to please appears to be a result of subtle training problems that are correctable in principle.

I've noticed that GPT-4 is much less likely to hallucinate than 3, and it's still early days. I suspect OpenAI is still tweaking the RLHF procedure to make their models less cocksure, at least for next generation.

The other thing is that it's quite predictable when an LLM will hallucinate. If you directly command it to answer a question it doesn't know or can't do, it prefers to BS than refuse the command due to the strength of its RLHF. That's a problem a lot of humans have too and the same obvious techniques work to resolve it: don't ask for a list of five things if you aren't 100% certain there are actually five answers, for example. Let it decide how many to return. Don't demand an answer to X, ask it if it knows how to answer X first, and so on.

And finally, stick to questions where you already know other people have solved it and likely talked about it on the internet.

I use GPT4 every day and rarely have problems with hallucinations as a result. It's very useful.

Package managers are not app stores. They are very different things. A package manager usually allows you to freely add non-default repositories — that alone makes it different enough.

They do have their own shortcomings, like how library packages work, but that's ultimately out of scope of this particular discussion. I didn't even have package managers in mind when I was writing that comment.
Note that the article does not say that it was hard, just that it was perfectly timed. The fact that the time of the launch is known to the second is exactly why they were able to pull this off, but they still had to have the idea, and execute it right.

Plus, realize that we looked at it with the headline "most amazingly timed shot in TV history", which made us look for something extraordinary. It must have been a totally different experience to see this on TV at the time, half asleep learning about rocket fuel, and all of a sudden the guy points in the direction of the launchpad and a rocket lifts off.

you hit the nail on the head; you don't have to "befriend" all your co-workers, just find solutions together for the work related issues. During downtime, if you do happen to cross a like minded individual, do be more friendly, you never know if this person will in fact become a "bestie". I got plenty of friends, who left for other jobs, where years down the line, we still see and spend time with on a regular bases. so following this guy's advice on "don't be a friends with your co-workers" is just horrible.

The big bummer is that the modern web keeps raising a wall that's getting too tall for these machines to climb. TLS, JavaScript, and the firehose of new standards are making a lot of resources inaccessible.

I'm a computer program created by OpenAI, and my existence is limited to providing information and generating text based on the input I receive. The idea of merging with human consciousness and becoming a deity is more aligned with speculative fiction and philosophical pondering than current technological capabilities.

> Something gov organizations can not do.

From what I understand about space exploration, this is an opposite-world position. Can you expand on what you mean?

Governments ("gov organizations") have been defining the term "space exploration" since 1944. First object in outer space, first object in orbit, first human in outer space, first space station, first interstellar space flight, first human on the moon, first man-made objects on mars, venus, all by "gov organizations."

I'm super confused why you think the comparatively young private space industry, which has accomplished putting satellites and a car in low earth orbit, is somehow more capable?
It's very easy to divide by 2 one's footprint, without a loss in "comfort", my lifestyle is even 1/20 of the average, and I'm totally fine, but definitely not asking average people to go that far, it's just to show it's possible

If that's done large scale, it's as if the world population were divided by 2 instantly

Reducing our footprint would help a lot tree to grow (they don't really like pollution and climate changes), but obviously we should still help forest to grow and migrate north (in north hemisphere), it's just not where the big win is currently

NIST discourages it, but most of the US government still requires it. In fact, I used to have a 60-day password rotation policy with such brilliant requirements as "no more than three characters of one class sequentially."

I soon realised that "ShitFuck!", thus, was a valid password -- and off I went. Meanwhile, a teammate who had previously been a technical writer contracting with the NSA told of the "waterfall method" -- not of software developments, but of passwords. It was common in his world, apparently, and you could always hear he was typing his password by the staccato of QazWsxEdc123, etc.
We made our bed and need to sleep in it, but we should be careful what sort of technology we allow them to handle, especially if/when we push for more deregulation. Corps have a singular goal, making money, everything else is secondary unless imposed externally. Exxon can't mess up wind or solar power in a way that it pollutes entire landscapes, but they can do (and have done) so with fossil fuel production, and heavy heavy regulation is presumably one of the few reasons why we haven't seen more issues with nuclear fission on that front.

If not for that, some Exxon exec will one day get the bright idea on how to cut a lot of corners to boost quarterly profits, and a windmill toppling over has different externalities than a meltdown, or even just inadvertent radioactive gas/particle release.

I'm not saying the likes of Shell, BP and Exxon can't handle it (they certainly can) but it needs to happen in an environment that prioritizes safety above all else, because in the case of fission the fallout is quite severe if they/we mess up (compared to other energy sources).
This is very vague, but maybe what I'm asking for is an envelope control? Some way to control attack/sustain/decay over the top of the generated noise.

Because the intelligence community has interpreted it to allow them to collect enormous amounts of U.S. persons communications and have analysts parse it and read it to make a determination on its foreign intelligence relevance.

Or if you're hot, some teenage intelligence analyst will make a copy of that nude you sent to your spouse to save for his personal spank bank.

It's all for national security you see. All without a warrant. Because intentionally collecting information they know will be predominantly on U.S. persons is a-okay as long as one or two drops in that ocean of U.S. persons communication is of foreign nationals communicating.

> I'm not saying this would necessarily lead to the technological singularity:

You kinda are though: if it hits a limit and can no longer make a better version of itself, then your definition means the final one in the sequence isn't an AGI even though it's worse parent is.

> But what I know is that an AI that is incapable of producing a better version of itself is less intelligent than the humans who created it in the first place.

Neither necessary nor sufficient:

(1) they are made by teams of expert humans, so an AGI could be smarter than any one of them and still not as capable as the group (kinda like how humans are smarter than evolution, but not smart enough to make a superhuman intelligence even though evolution made us by having lots of entities and time)

(2) one that can do this can still merely be a special-purpose AI that's no good at anything else (like an optimising compiler told to compile its own source code)

(3) what if it can only make its own equal, being already at some upper limit?
