He was charged and faced a maximum of 50 years in prison.<p>OpenAI committed very similar crimes on a much larger scale, yet the most they will see is civil litigation.<p>Insiders have called it the largest theft of labor ever in history[1].<p>In the USA, corporations enjoy constitutional protections, the right to free speech etc, yet they are rarely if ever charged with crimes.

<p>A materialist might imagine consciousness is made up of constituent parts, like the organs of perception and the cells that make up those organs.<p>So perhaps you are a constituent part of the larger consciousness, and you feel your part of it (e.g. your roles and relationships in society)</p>

<p>The first part of the article reads like Z.AI is trying to get their piece of the “national security concern” pie.<p>The way these “AI is too powerful now” articles read about Mythos, Fable, GLM, etc is completely incongruent with my experience using them. It feels like they are all trying to position themselves to influence government policy.</p>

<p>I typically see the exact opposite problem when giving Claude the reins on a large undertaking.<p>Claude will, without prompting, break the implementation into 6 phases, and write AI slop “code as English” specs for each phase, each one with glaring errors and unintelligible terse jargon. It will review them all several times with major findings every time and tons of design churn…<p>Then it will implement a total heap of garbage over many hours of many agents, despite it working in “lanes” and in parallel, and with regular input needed.<p>Just thousands and thousands of lines of junk, which auto review then plays whack-a-mole to polish and fix. All the while it is able to see the errors and edge cases, yet fails to see the key architectural blunders that led to them in the first place.<p>I’ve had to fully rethink my approach to LLM tasks like this. For example, for library-esque modules, I have found that isolating the problem outside of the codebase is one useful approach. Something about the lack of noise. It can land on a cleaner solution that can be retrofitted.<p>I also find that asking it to implement end to end in one fell swoop with a very high level plan actually saves time and creates a cleaner result.</p>
