@nearcyan 1. “Fast track” isn’t a thing. This bill is going through the normal committee process and still has to go through four more committees with opportunities for amendments. The bill has had a lot of amendments since introduction and it's likely it will have many more before being…

I am not confident on whether we should ban or not ban non-compete agreements, but I do notice it seems like a choice that should be made by Congress, not the FTC?

Do I disagree with many related claims and notice the hype sure, but the core value is a slam dunk, if you are plausibly doing a start-up that could attend YC no matter how thin it is right now then obviously you should apply to YC.

Really tough break to anyone who bought META options in advance of the @dwarkesh_sp podcast. Truly brutal.

@Scott_Wiener Since I know you're unlikely to abandon this bill, I do have a suggested improvement: For a general technology like foundation models, the benefits will accrue to a broad section of society including criminals. My understanding is that the Federal Trade Commission decides whether…
@TheZvi Honestly don’t have a position on it. But one problem with the commentary is that a lot of people seem to confuse (innocently or not) “regulators get to make judgments” with Total Arbitrariness. This is, ah, not a new worry for the law, and they have many tools to avoid it.
The first container ship just called at the port of Baltimore since the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse on March 26th. Excellent work by the salvage crews clearing the channel in to restore Baltimore’s connection to the global ocean so quickly. I thought it would take longer.
@Scott_Wiener Please correct me if I'm wrong, but SB 1047 seems to open multiple straightforward paths for de facto banning any open model that improves on the current state of the art. E.g., - The 2023 FBI Internet Crime Report indicates cybercriminals caused ~$12.5 billion in total damages.…
@Scott_Wiener Thank you @Scott_Wiener for providing your perspective on the bill's intent. I'd appreciate it if you directly address the specific scenario Brain raises at the end of his thread. Suppose an open model developer releases an innocuous email writing model, and fraudsters then…

the only reason i deacc’d was to take a twitter detox break and reduce complexity for a while (not to create more drama!) but accidentally made all my friends concerned. im okay, everyone’s okay, and the singularity’s not yet here. i’ll just log off the normal way instead!
@TheZvi I'd love to watch the two of you have, like, a 24-min. argument about this on youtube.
Institutional drift seems so common that perhaps we should assume it's the default. Instead of taking institutions at their word when they point to their long and impressive histories, we should treat them as identical with what they've done in the past year.
@limits_stop I tried to think of some examples, but I couldn't. Can you?

@TheZvi dude posts that LLMs are alive, then immediately deletes his account. Either he's doing an elaborate cry for help/attention, or the OAI legal team got to him!
