But coal's essential as a backup in case of a dead (civilizational) restart.

That seems to be based on the assumption that coal is easily accessible. I'm not sure that's true.

If it weren't for it being OpenAI, this story would not be noteworthy. I think a more interesting story is how many commenters on Hacker News have no idea how discovery or privilege works. Interesting blind spot.

With a duress password, it could have allowed him to destroy it, but that itself would be illegal and he'd likely be found in contempt of court and probably with some other charges related to tampering with evidence. But he wouldn't have had to have read it in court. IANAL

Yeah, cpaa is a loaded gun pointed at anyone who's ever touched a computer.

It's the increase in emotionality, principles loosely held, it allows a particular goal they get tossed, Tbc this extends far beyond the current topic and commenters.

Facebook isn't one of the companies that's been pushing for that.

How is that relevant?

"American executives have been pushing to criminalise copyright infringement...Why should Zuckerberg be exempt?" Implicit relevence in the comment to which I'm replying.

I think we're misunderstanding one another.

Zuckerberg saying anything about copyright infringement is irrelevant to the actions Meta has taken in consuming and promoting the practice, and he should face criminal liability.

We might actually be in full agreement. You can't get a faithful replay of these internal states. They're gone at end of generation. You can only query and re-derive from the visible context. Hence limited (though not zero) utility, depending on model, harness, and prompt.

Thank you kindly.
