On one hand I like the idea, but I also suspect that as soon as AI bots find it they will weaponize and crap it up just like all the other mainstream platforms. For now I will keep my tiny silly blog self contained so it only has my lunatic ideas that people can poke fun at on other platforms.
I have to imagine that this could be the result of Anthropic C-Levels catastrophizing to push the idea their product is so powerful that it is also very dangerous and that opened them up to the government responded in kind. In other words I have to imagine they probably did this to themselves and should probably dial down the catastrophizing.
Anthropic has been trying to be a trust me bro and an I know better than you steward. All while Dario has been crying wolf since 2017. Not that I like the current administration. They are horrible human beings. But this effective altruism first from SBF and now from Amodei kills me too.
There is nothing worse than very highly intellectual people thinking they are entitled to make decisions for the rest of us.
They fully own this. They have built a narrative so powerful that now the government is going to shut them down.
Meanwhile OpenAI, who own their own data centers, infrastructure government officials, and are being smart about all this, will reap some of the benefits. They are loosing too.
Anthropic did indeed dig their own grave, and it saddens me. Fable was an amazing model. First of its kind. I will miss it.
Still let’s not forget: this was a two week trial. After that it would have been over, except for the enterprise customers.
Apologies for the tone of my post. It’s not easy to be neutral and unbiased. I am just so angry at all this nonsense. At home I got kids, and they are more mature than many of these people who are just ruling over the world.
"There is nothing worse than very highly intellectual people thinking they are entitled to make decisions for the rest of us."
Very powerful people are making decisions for the rest of us! If you have a plan to change that, I'm listening; in the meantime, I much prefer when they have some desire to do good, and a willingness to discuss and think about what that entails, than when they quietly act amorally (or, worse and not exactly uncommon, unashamedly act maliciously).
Maybe hire a team of architects, engineers and machinists to build machines that automate the building of "earth ships" and subterranean farms, ranches, homes, stores, roads, water storage and treatment, sewage treatment, walking and biking tunnels, light bending and directing mirrors / lenses under ground in places that will become too hot to survive. Each living unit must be modular and expandable yet engineered to survive significant asteroid impacts and last millions of years.
With time some of the tunnels would extend out below the oceans to further increase the probability that humans could survive a blanket of large asteroids and comets with the side effect of negating the usefulness of nuclear weapons thus nuclear weapons could be dismantled and repurposed in mini-micro-mini-micro subterranean nuclear power stations interlinked into neighborhood meshes. Every neighborhood would have a few dozen coolant filled clay heat batteries that would bring every home, road and walkway to 65F (18C) with fresh filtered air from the surface and from air storage geothermal tunnels.
With time the equipment and automation would sufficiently advance to move faster and more efficient. One trillion dollars will not be enough to complete the jobs, but rather to make an optimized blueprint so that every country can repeat and improve upon the process until the entire surface of the planet could be used to produce food until such a time that it has to be produced under ground. Anyone passing by the Earth should be convinced that the entire civilization is agrarian and non-technical thus not a threat. If the tunnels are deep enough and the tunnels are shielded enough from space then fiber networks could share a backup GPS network to reduce dependency on low powered space transmitters.
I believe this would be much easier to accomplish than moving parts of our civilization to the moon and especially more practical and safer than Mars.
This...non-nano zinc oxide is all you need. Ancient technology and still the safest & most effective.
Bemotrizinol is itself a very large molecule with near-zero skin absorption (like ZnO), so if you are thinking you will use this to avoid the "it doesn't rub in" aspect of mineral sunscreen, you are going to be disappointed.
I only buy sunblock from Korea and Japan that uses Bemotrizinol. Not sure where you got the idea that it wouldn't rub in, but I can confirm that it rubs in very well and doesn't stain white clothing like the avobenzone in US sunblock. The Japanese sunblocks feel light (not as greasy), smell better, and protect very well.
