We do, you might find legal sentencing guidelines to be informative, they’ve already been dealing with this for a very long time. (E.g. It’s why a first offence and repeat offence are never considered in the same light.)
The problem is that a lot of the most influential FOSS only exists because of VC capital (or other dysfunctional markets), either because they sponsor projects directly, or they pay the salaries of the people who happen to do it themselves. FOSS has become a form of economic dumping that could be causing more harm than good. If Google couldn’t “dump” Chrome for free, or Facebook couldn’t “dump” React for free, maybe browsers or front-end frameworks would be regular, functional, competitive markets. Making it “FOSS” is just an inoculation against what would otherwise be considered an anti-competitive practice.
Toyota at least invested in building a battery supply chain with Idmetsu Kosan years ago, and is working on battery tech national projects within Japan.
Apple hasn't done the same kind of homework yet, as Siri has largely been moribund nor will Apple be the reciever of significant state funding and subsidizes for R&D the same way Toyota is.
Well if you want to continue the analogy, I could say: Apple at least invested in a SoC architecture years ago has already put it in a different league as far as AI capabilities go.
So to say they haven't done "the same kind of homework yet" seems quite presumptive. Only Google has done anything remotely similar with TPUs and certainly not on the deployment scale that Apple has done.
FWIW I don't care either way, I don't get emotionally attached to corporations, I just think the entire framing of the original post is very reactionary and naive, and I continue to think that the comparison with Toyota is an apt way to illustrate that.
Sure, but when you can’t clearly attribute the survivor’s survival, there’s still no meaningful conclusion to draw. And given how many different ways there are for businesses to succeed or fail, that are never ever repeatable due to the passing of time in the market, then I think attribution is impossible, so having the humility to somewhat attribute luck is admirable.
I think if we referred to LLMs as AK (Artifical Knowledge) instead of AI it would be easier to have more cohesive discussions.
I don’t see how there can be a single truth when there is not even a single definition of many of the underlying terms (intelligence, AGI, etc) which this discipline supposedly defines itself by. Combine that with a lot of people with little philosophical perspective suddenly being confronted with philosophical topics and you end up with a discourse that personally I’ve mostly given up on participating in until things calm down again.
It feels like nobody remembers all the timelines for which we were supposed to have self-driving cars.
3rd world country or not - I hope you appreciate that you are incredibly fortunate for "ancient culture" and "history" to be 2 of your top 3 considerations for where to live and the quality of life that would give you.
Perhaps revalidate the "thriving economy" assertion before taking the plunge though (and be mindful of how hyper-localised that is).
Why did you choose to wake up as the child of a peasant in one country but the child of the president in another?
Quality of life is inherently tied to trust and morality - both in terms of the effect of fear (a lack of trust) or isolation (a lack of moral consensus, or equality and sense of shared belonging).
Yes I found the grayscale surprisingly effective. An additional tip is to bind it to the triple-click side button accessibility shortcut, so you can quickly enable/disable it if you need colour for something momentarily.
