Interesting they are all calling for regulation its almost pike they rralise that without it anyone can run an opensource model free and they are fucked
Yeah. This is critical. We really should protect our ability to run local models, or megacorps will hold all the keys.
Yep it gets even worse when u realise u can finetune a model tp hold a specific agenda then realise those models are being used to deliver "truth" to everyone.
Hell today bard wouldnt help me configure perms of a component in ejabberd cos it was a privacy risk to grant it so many perms good one google.
Why does Altman always look like he just sat down on a cactus?
I’m going to write a script that uses chatgpt to write letters of concern about AI to my representatives and senators daily.
Lobbying seriously needs to be abolished. Sickening practice.
Lobbying is a critical part of a working democracy, the issue is that lobbying has got out of control with regards to spending and in many cases outright corruption.
So what is so critical about lobbying?
In an ideal world, it informs politicians about issues seen in society, a healthy politician might not see the issues a person in a wheelchair does, thus the person in a a wheelchair needs to talk with others in the same situation and form a group that can lobby their cause.
Unfortunately, as with anything, wealth does have a huge advantage here, so limits on money spent lobbying is a very good idea, banning it outright is a very bad idea, probably impossible in any country with free speech.
Paid lobbying should be illegal. That's a bit better.
You're not wrong but I don't love the implication that people who use wheelchairs aren't healthy
Adding to your point: the freedom to petition the government for the redress of grievances is not just in the Bill of Rights, it's also in the Magna Carta.
That is fair, I was unsure on how to best describe the situation, I ment no disrespect.
Congresspeople would be even less informed than they are currently if there was no lobbying. There definitely needs to be limits to lobbying, but scientists lobby too, that’s why we have laws around ozone, chemicals in water, etc.
As long as corruption exists, lobbying will exist.
That’s like saying “as long as stabbing exists, stab wounds are here to stay.”
