"Canada is about to spend $2 billion on a Sovereign AI Compute Strategy. The Globe and Mail, the stalwart mouthpiece of Corporate Canada, is running op-eds for the need of a nationalized public AI. The AI Minister seems to be taking the bait while simultaneously taking meetings with Sam Altman who himself has been busy of late. He’s lobbying Ottawa for a piece of that $2 billion while negotiating guardrails with the Canadian AI Minister on the product his company failed to govern when it mattered. All while lifting those same guardrails entirely for his new partner, the US Department of Defence.
But that’s apparently not relevant to the sovereignty conversation."
The original... takers of these films are dying off. It's well known that many episodes exist within private collections. The prevailing belief in the fandom is that they will be get released as the owners pass away. Indeed, that's likely where these two came from.
Love the intent behind this.
I am of the opinion that small is where it's all gonna end up.
Politics are gonna mess with the Huge Frontier AIs so much that people will only use it for actual work (like Claude Code).
This kind of Local First tool will be what we all eventually build for.
they are saying what you are saying. At least Deirde Bosa did. I think there is a lot of folks internally who don't understand the gravity of it and keep questioning it.
You are right about the building of today's DC's. There is a small part of me that feels Oracle might be a bit toxic long term with all this debt him and his kid have taken on. And this could be the first reaction to it.
There are definitely companies out there working towards bots that can't be readily distinguished from human. Either for fake "organic" advertising or for propaganda purposes.
One way to test and refine the bots is to have them post in more discerning forums like HN, tweaking the system prompt until people stop calling them out as fake.
Once nobody can tell any more, then the comments will be subtly altered to deliver the intended message.
Personally, I suspect that the classic pseudoanonymous forums are cooked. Within five years, they'll all be totally overrun by chatbots and their "value" will tank.
The only recourse will be mobile-only "chat apps" that guarantee 100% human participation through specific hardware device and configuration attestation (TPMs, etc...), and also validating via the gyros that the device is moving appropriately for keypresses, etc...
Everything else will be > 50% bots soon, overrun by propaganda, etc...
Yes, I know, we're most of the way there already. Reddit and Twitter are already sinking into the swamp of sadness.
But trust me, it can get worse than that! Much worse.
I am of the opinion that it will be like this until voice becomes the UI and the next interface for this type of thing will be guarded against fraud. Wag The Dog has become the standard and it's going to be this aspect of personal agency that will prevail. And solve the issue you are talking about.
It’s because Oracle Cloud had a lot of unused capacity at the beginning. Because no one wanted to use Oracle Cloud. Cheap compute was hard to say no to.
They've always been dead for a segment of the population. And its the section of population "We" (royal) chose.
Unfortunately, We have exhausted the existing people we demolished. Now, who is being sacrificed is moving further up the economic foodchain with no real end in sight.
Anthropic was the only one that was cleared for use in classified systems though. So it doesnt really seem to matter much if it wasnt being used in those types of systems? xAi has now reached a deal though to be used in these circumstances and has signed the paper.
The funny thing is that is this keeps going like this, it could actually anoint Claude as the most used model globally because of the heightened anti-American sentiment currently in place.
