I need to get myself a ThinkPad…

This is me with my husband 😅 Every month or two it’s something new and I love it so much

Not necessarily. I too have my doubts and even hope that this isn’t real, but it is always possible that singular border officers, empowered by the new definitions, take matters into their own hand. One look in Russia’s direction over the past few years and their propaganda laws, it starts with sporadic individual arrests. I visit the US on a semi-regular basis, but I think I will wait for at least a few months to see what comes of this, because even sparse arrests from bad-apple border officers are still a threat to my freedoms.

Sorry, I think I’m lacking context here. What is the problem with system76? A cursory search for problems with system76 tells me there are some Nvidia driver problems, but that’s surely not unique, right?

I don’t have experience with their hardware but I’ve been dailying pop os for about five years and have generally had no problems.

Yesss thank you

Wasn’t there some YouTuber a while ago who called it butter?

Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just… Ban Google if they don’t comply?

Makes sense to me. Most people probably don’t want the hassle of having to upgrade a non lts release. I’m still on 22.04 on the machine I use for work.

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/
