On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

    Pouring the entire library into a sieve to get a gigabyte of linear algebra is pretty goddamn transformative. I do not understand why people think this is something they should stop, even if they mistakenly think it can be stopped.

    Do you really want an internet full of synthetic catgirls? Because this is how you get an internet full of synthetic catgirls.

    That’s this guy’s argument against AI. He thinks that’s a threat.

    This fight is over. It’s been barely a year, and random people are already advancing the state of the art using mundane consumer hardware. You’re not about to claw back their plain-text corpuseses and suspiciously thematic image folders. Destroy every existing model and new ones will emerge in a matter of days.

    Onerous legal obstacles will only restrict this to exactly the rich bastards you don’t want exploiting it. The sort of people who always see labor-saving technology as a way to fuck labor harder.
