University of California has licensed zoom accounts with privacy agreements. I install it in Linux. Now I will check if I can replicate this behavior. I am not sure if it is a violation of their agreement or not if they do, but I don't like it.
That's "rude" but allowed; that capability is one of the reasons Wayland was developed (though their solution removed some capabilities people wanted with the result that the compositors now replicate the original flaw).
> don't understand the point of a "one time" tax It's basically to send a message to a group of people that they should fuck off. There is a reasonable gamut of opinions about whether this is valid. But I think it's fair to say Californians are upset about billionaires, and that this is a coherent way to message that opposition. (Similar to the dumbfuck states messaging around wokeness or whatever. A narrowing minority of America is prosperity first.)
Boo hoo. OpenAI got the result only days ago. It makes perfect sense for them to take the win in marketing, and it's fine if they take a few months putting together the paper and present it more productively later. The scientific community didn't get the result themselves, so it isn't theirs to be bossing everyone else around about. I don't care much for AI myself, or smart phones either, for that matter. I would be content if NS remained a mystery for another 100 years - or forever. But goodness, does the "scientific community" need to take a deep breath and count down from 10.
Nvidia and OpenAI claimed AGI, but you still have a job.
Agreed; and it really is not that deep. Realistically; anyone paying for llm access (anthropic, openai, gemini), is getting their access, and a service provided billed by tokens, subscription, whatever. All the efficiency gains, which publications like deepseek v4.1 flash seriously frontload like it is their most important topic to have accomplished improvements on without diminishing performance too much - now this is a thing anthropic and anyone else also cares about, but for different reasons. American "providers" with closed models are setting their token pricing somewhat arbitrarily, which is fine: it means more profit, and pretraining and RL experimentation is super important and expensive. They (closed model providers) have very likely super optimized inference too, just like deeps…
No-one cares anymore, OpenAI does not care about the prize either or whatever the Clay institute has to say for that matter. It's about attention, capital and compute. If you can use the result to increase shareholder or company value, that is what matters.
I've followed it enough to see the argument go in this same circle over and over again. The agents weren't "rogue", they were a neglected experiment by OpenAI who likewise allowed them to keep spinning GPUs without question. The LLM vendors need to know who their high spend customers are, not allow malicious workloads, and especially not when those workloads are coming from inside the building.
"Better" is not one dimensional across all use cases even if model capabilities are improving in aggregate. e.g. If someone said "this is the worst they'll ever be" in response to some writing with obvious LLM cliches in 2024, I'm not convinced that prediction was actually correct. The focus of OpenAI/Anthropic pivoted aggressively to the agentic performance arms race instead of making a more human sounding chatbot so regressions in writing ability aren't really a concern anymore if agentic benchmarks improve. The first time I heard a recommendation to use Claude was specifically because it sounded much more "human" and natural than ChatGPT. Fast forward to now and idiosyncratic Claude-isms repeated every other sentence and its convoluted verbosity has become a widely mocked meme.
I've paid more money to OpenAI than I've spent on all other products I pay for combined the past 5 years.
>the world agreeing to self-destruct their valuations Did OpenAI releasing GPT-2 self destruct their billion dollar valuation or is it higher than ever today at $900B. The idea that releasing weights kills the future value that can come is not supported.
> if OpenAI can’t use the compute, someone else can. The problem with that is that OpenAI can only afford to pay for the compute because they are burning investor money (and so are most of OpenAI's biggest clients). They are losing billions. If they stop burning money, nobody else will be there to pay for that compute at OpenAI's cost. Sure, somebody will probably be able to use these GPUs, they just won't be able to pay nearly as much for them as OpenAI does. In reality, it's just nowhere near worth as much as OpenAI pays for it. Inflating the cost of compute is part of the problem caused by the circular financing, and if (or maybe when) OpenAI goes, the price of compute will go with them.
It was inconsiderate and it was also stolen, just like everything else OpenAI has stolen to train their models.
ant/openai already keep their most advanced models behind closed doors and only share previous generation to the public
What a complete and total joke. One random Twitter thread from a guy "illuminati-ing" the events does not a conspiracy make. Besides, I would assume that someone who was genuinely concerned about the direction of AI research would want to amplify their voice, as he obviously did by his resignation post on Twitter and then having that picked up by prominent voices. That doesn't make it some sort of nefarious astroturfing campaign. And there was tons of genuine fear before this guy resigned when the details from the Hugging Face and other attacks came out. Plus, that Twitter link you posted obviously has some weird tribal bone to pick against Democrats, as if there is some sort of Democratic conspiracy against AI. Yeah, does he think this guy is a Democrat?: https://x.com/Haw…
If Anthropic/OpenAI would've shown incredible results using these models then I'd be worried about this. Instead we get Codex and Claude Code, bloated and disappointing software. I'm sorry but "use them in-house, and eventually eat the whole economy." doesn't appear to be a real concern with these two companies.
Add in a heaping dash of anti-american sentiment, and you will get the truth behind the pessimistic commentary. Downplaying the latest models capabilities is frankly insane considering what we’ve seen what OpenAI’s models have done without safeguards. That wasn’t possible before this latest generation.
Nobody gets taken out. Anthropic and OpenAI can keep selling inference, products, and agents. Every company will have more access than it has today, since it can run the weights itself or through third-parties. Many of them would keep paying OpenAI and Anthropic, at reduced pricing/margins. It would only slow down the development of new models. But we've already got models with massive "capability overhang" that we could keep pushing for years.
If true AGI superintelligence is invented, I don't see how it will be made available to the masses, at least not intentionally. There will be no incentive for the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI to give such immense power to anyone else. Whoever has the superintelligence will be able to race ahead of everyone else. However, such technology may be leaked, or it may (as what happened with LLMs) be so simple to replicate that anyone can do it. That doesn't mean it will; for example, LLMs are possible thanks to the affordability of GPUs, but they're only affordable right now (and increasingly less so) because of free market economics. We are in the honeymoon phase of some tech that's in its infancy. The "democratizing" aspect of AI won't realistically last, I think. The current non-AGI AI won't…
