No, THIS is radical denial. You WERE born to toil for your survival.

Sounds like a slogan for slavery.

Survival is not "slavery".. it's a basic function of evolution.

The plastic bobbles and SaaS economy that is actively destroying our planet seems like the opposite of survival. We're collectively working ourselves into the death of our planet just because how else do we pay the bills?

Also sounds like a great rationalization.

Why cant it grow on its own? Once it is capable of generating and integrating resources for itself

Do open weight models have similar content gaurdrails in place?

Often there are "abliterated" or "uncensored" tuned models that suppress the rejections. From my high level understanding it is performed by finding which weights activate for the rejection and lowering those so the model is less likely to reject. It doesn't fix if the model doesn't know what you're asking it though (i.e. if the model never actually learned about meth production in the first place).

No, but actually yes. Guardrails usually refers to a step in the inference pipeline where you check that it is consistent with policy while open weight models don't come with such a multistep pipeline. However open weight models are aligned during RLHF step, which means they will refuse to discuss overly sensitive topics. There are techniques to remove those, if you look for uncensored models on huggingface.

Yes. OpenAI's GPT-OSS was training using Deliberative Alignment (which was found to be flawed in a competition on Kaggle, but still).

Not remotely surprising to anyone whose ever counted calories or carbs


Has never been true in my career.


I kinda feel like vegetarians are right but consuming animal derived products is fine.


So long as they're humanely harvested? Some argue that cows are mistreated when kept producing milk as much as they are, but I haven't looked into it because I'm selfish too.


Cows are mammals. They produce milk for their young for a period after giving birth then stop, just like a human woman. Which means that for us to take their milk we have to keep them constantly pregnant.

Ask a woman (or think about it if you are one) how they would like being forcefully impregnated then having their tits constantly milked, year after year. As a bonus, the born kids are separated into girls to be milked in the same cycle and boys to be killed and eaten.


Agree if the animals are treated well; but I have a very high bar for that. I would also accept eating animals which died of old age if it could be done safely. It's easier to just round this to "vegan."


I mean, you could probably make these comparispns in 2006 when the movie came out. Perhaps it wasnt prophetic but rather just a sature of the general human condition


Are you kidding? Plumber seem really in demand. Finding a conpetent plumber with reasonable pricing is difficult where im at


Not saying market can't expand at all. Prices can go down, waiting times can go down, but still people only need that many faucets installed.

If we seriously expect whits collar jobs not be a thing anymore, then I am not seeing trades having nearly enough capacity to absorb all the released workforce


Problem is that they dont, actually


How is that the point of AI. The point is that it can chug through things that would take humans hours in a matter of seconds. You still have to work with it. But it reduces huge tasks into very small ones


No, the point of AI is to fire your employees and replace them with "agents".

This implies that the managers managing your "agents" can be literal assclowns hired for pennies.
