Your language suggests you’re an ideological supporter of trump but I’m curious:

What exactly is being imposed by anthropic?

This is from the anthropic letter:

> We held to our exceptions for two reasons. First, we do not believe that today’s frontier AI models are reliable enough to be used in fully autonomous weapons. Allowing current models to be used in this way would endanger America’s warfighters and civilians. Second, we believe that mass domestic surveillance of Americans constitutes a violation of fundamental rights.

Do you see these views as “left wing”? Or what do you disagree with here?

It isn't a left wing stance though. It's standing for the constitution. At the cost of going against the illegal state demands.

Compliance with the DoD doesn't remove big tech's complicity.

You don't decide what "RAG" means, a term that's been around for much, much less time than "database".

What if it's an appropriately scoped take-home assignment? 1-2 hours max. I would say that's fair and gives people with interview anxiety more of a chance.

Why don't they have a stake in the outcome anymore?

Because they won't be around for much longer, so they won't pay many taxes compared to someone aged 16.

(For the record: Devil's advocate take. I think this whole idea of voting in proportion to your monetary value is ridiculous.)

(For the record, I also think this voting in proportion to your monetary value is ridiculous.)

I was more thinking however that their average life expectency doesn't allow for long-term consequences of elections to affect them.

Of course it makes you a better voter. Because you have skin in the game.

What's absurd is allowing a minor to vote.

Such an overlooked aspect of this topic. Energy and the creation of physical resources are still major constraints. Intelligence on its own cannot magically manipulate reality to bootstrap its physical substrate.

Although this is true, remember that a human brain draws the equivalent of about 20 watt.

ASI doesn't exactly have to break any laws of physics to be orders of magnitude more intelligent and powerful than any human.

Exactly. It's so bleak that this industry throws integrity out the window in the name of productivity.

Wrong. Many anecdotes say, "He was scamming us in the first week."

When people with no integrity or ethics defraud their employers, "it's life"?

Yes. It's the same with wage theft.

Wage theft vastly outstrips other forms of theft[0] and it's considered a complete non priority by law enforcement, politicians, and the media.

These kinds of things just aren't a priority for one reason for another. Let's brainstorm some solutions to wage theft and overemployment.

I suggest a synergistic approach -- fix wage theft and it'll have a knock-on effective with things like overemployment or people pretending to work a single job.

What do you think?

How is it an ethical issue? If you don’t have enough in front of you and the pressure isn’t on to be superman, why take the slackoff job your employer is incentivizing for you? Rational take is to do this. See yourself as a consultancy sees itself. If the barriers towards forming your own LLC to represent your own labor in this way weren’t so high this wouldn’t even have to happen; we’d all be contracting projects because that actually makes sense over salary or even hourly. That is even how your own boss sees you without this arrangement: a sort of kept contractor to be let go of should restructuring happen after a project ends.

We pretend to work, they pretend to pay.

Get real. There's a difference between a self-proclaimed fraudster and an ineffectual executive. In intention, if not in effect.

In as much as there is a difference between a performing magician and one who shows you how a trick is done maybe
