If your city council meetings are running on Zoom (which many are since the pandemic) you should email them your concerns immediately about this...

Any alternative seems better at this point... For most tech savvy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46875837 is probably the best alternative

    > "Frontier model" means an artificial intelligence model that:

    > (1) is trained using greater than 10^26 computational operations, such as integer or floating-point operations; or

    > (2) has a compute cost that exceeds $100,000,000

Such a strange regulation, usually large thresholds like this are made to only apply burdening regulation to very-big-players (if you're spending 100 million on training, you can afford a dedicated team to follow such regulation).

But here it seems to be an anti- competitive move for market entrants who haven't made it into the big league yet...

Sounds like the saga for some players pushing for Biden's EO 14110 but this time at the state level?

Nice biography from Loopt to OpenAI. Why no mention of the Worldcoin cryptocurrency https://x.com/sama/status/1451203161029427208 in this piece? Was there nothing interesting to report in that area?

It was mentioned, but not by name.

Interestingly, Dartmouth, UPenn, and Cornell aren't on the Cancelled Senior Service College (SSC) Fellowships list. So this is some select Ivy Leagues only.

Each of those three bowed their head to D&I demands, paid the bribe-fine demanded by the U.S. president, and revised their diversity definitions as demanded. So of course they’re exempt; that’s why they chose to pay their protection fee, after all. For example:

> The university was reluctant to pay $30 million to the federal government to settle the OCR complaints; however, the alternative course of action would involve years of legal actions against the government with an uncertain outcome and untold costs to careers and livelihoods.

Maybe they like Cornell's existing military affiliation?

Meredith: You know, I once dated a couple of guys from Cornell. They were really nice, gave me a ride home.

Andy: I seriously doubt anyone from Cornell dated you.

Creed: It's pronounced "colonel." It's the highest rank in the military.

Andy: It's pronounced Cornell! It's the highest rank in the Ivy league.

"built their own" wrapper yes (which is a very important piece of a end-to-end Zoom like product)

But you can see:

> Powered by [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/)

Fine since this is an open source product, but not full EU sovereignty of the software stack.

Livekit could at any time change their license and drop support for the free open-source version like so many products have done in the past.

If a EU entity forks it and maintains it, then that'd be end-to-end sovereignty IMO.

That might be true philosophically, but tactically it makes no sense to fork until a potential future license change. Why lose the free maintenance from upstream?
