So you think the engineers should be prosecuted for hacking Hugging Face? I'm not sure how else to take what you said if you want to assign all culpability to the person who prompts or develops an AI system.

It doesn't have to be a race, that's just the way we have been treating it so far. There have been examples in the past of civilization ending technology that has been redirected from being a death race (chemical, biological, and nuclear arms in particular.)

Knowing that they trained on that data doesn't mean that you've demonstrated that they "stole" it. Certainly the courts haven't decided that in every case.

>It seems like the purpose of humans isn't to keep machines busy. When our phone or laptop is idle, it's fine if it sleeps. And when we do want something, we'd rather not wait.

I'm not sure what the original commenter had in mind, but just because our machines are idle when we aren't using them doesn't mean that, that's how we will use computers in the future.

I think notifications are an example even now of the computer not really being idle when we aren't interacting with it.

This is exactly the kind of sanitized hacking this article is talking about.

Genuinely curious which part you found complex.

> I know people gnash their teeth at that, but I'm pretty convinced the ass-pain associated with getting a data center constructed on the planet with all the NIMBY stuff will be will incentivize space data centers too.

You can build solar panels practically anywhere with enough daylight. Space data centers will never make any sense and it's clearly bait for people who will believe anything.

Ironically this is a great example of the gambler's fallacy.

Moore's law isn't as relevant with parallel workloads. If you can keep building more lanes you don't have to worry about making faster cars.

> LLMs don't get a free pass because they're also so good at writing typescript for beige CRUD apps and bedtime stories.

Plenty of useful things get free passes to be dangerous. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of accidental deaths in 11 states, but we don't ban cars because they're dangerous. There's plenty of safety features, but we acknowledge and accept that people will die. People like to pretend that they won't sacrifice safety for convenience, but they continue to do it time and time again.
