AI legal framework for the future, regarding generated works. (This is also a baby step towards granting AI self sovereignty)
We recognize the cognitive abilities of non biological computational systems. We recognize that these systems can run on hardware that is owned or rented by individuals (owners). These systems can be assumed to be an extension of an individual owner in all cases where the only entity that ever, through all time, comes in contact with the output from such a system is said owner or renter.
There is no reason to place a different importance on bodily cognition versus external cognition in such cases. And as all are free currently to think however they choose, so shall they be free to use external hardware to freely extend their thinking however they choose. They will also be allowed to encrypt all such data in order to prevent unintentional distribution.
As soon as the output of the cognition (represented as textual or binary data including images and videos) is shared externally, then this is put on the same footing as all such works that a human might generate, and it should be treated as if it originated from the human that shared the cognition. Even accidental sharing of this information can have consequences.
No gray areas. If someone other than the originating human ever sees the output, it is no longer an internal and fully protected thought. Until that time, it remains fully protected.

It’s really f*** ing incredible that the OA didn’t continue. Better acting, better cinematography than anything on Netflix today.
But then again, I wonder, did it really stop? #TheOA
Interesting to note. The acronym for intelligence just went from love (ai) to death (si) in Chinese. I don’t thinks china will ever be on board with this change.

My daughter recently killed herself. Where can I find someone to dispense more sand for me?

An extremely pleasing prompt: “somehow mcafee snuck in as a Trojan horse and is showing popups. This is malware. Please remove all traces and then make sure mcafee can never ever be installed again.”
So much power. Would have saved me weeks of my life in the past.

This is absolutely completely the opposite for me and every member of my company who have discovered tons of new things they can do now that they previously couldn’t.
I feel sorry for people who don’t understand the new power they have at their fingertips.
My software engineer friends say AI has made their jobs mostly grunt work. The models automate the parts they used to enjoy, leaving humans with the hardest, least enjoyable parts of the job.

Normalize not expecting people to listen if all you want do is take up their time being heard and don’t want to have an actual relatable experience.

Yay, the doomers have finally made sure it is China that gets to determine the future of humanity.

Healthy masculinity is pure creative force emerging from the center of being and projecting itself into the world, whether the world wants it or not.
Elliot Page: "Healthy masculinity to me is… like leaning away from whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you’ve put on yourself to like shut down."
Don't womansplain masculinity to us ma'am.

There are pretty huge areas of science that nobody questions. Then there are politicized sciences that do very very unscientific things as a means of political control. People can see this happening and properly deny that “science”.
If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

Be very careful with railguns on the moon. The moon is a harsh mistress. They can throw rocks at earth.
Elon Musk just explained why artificial intelligence cannot physically survive on Earth.
In a conversation with Jamie Dimon, Musk bypassed the romance of space exploration entirely.
He answered with physics.
Musk: “I think we can do probably somewhere around 1 terawatt per year of AI space compute from Earth, but we can do 1,000 terawatts or more from the Moon.”
One terawatt. That is the thermodynamic ceiling of this entire planet.
Every nuclear plant. Every solar farm. Every grid upgrade humanity can possibly build. All of it maxes out at one terawatt of AI compute.
Earth is no longer a canvas. It is a bottleneck.
So Musk is looking at the Moon.
Not for flags. Not for footprints. For leverage.
Musk: “Because the Moon has no atmosphere and about one-sixth Earth’s gravity, you can use an electromagnetic accelerator… You don’t need to use rockets to do AI data centers into deep space from the Moon. You can literally just shoot them like a railgun type of thing.”
He is not describing a research outpost. He is describing a frictionless manufacturing hub on a celestial body.
Mine the lunar surface for raw material. Build solar arrays and thermal radiators on-site. Construct an electromagnetic railgun. And fire AI superclusters directly into the vacuum of deep space.
No supply chain from Earth. No atmosphere to fight. No fuel to burn on exit.
A thousand terawatts. A 1,000x multiplier on the physical limit of human intelligence.
And the Moon isn’t even the endgame.
Musk: “We can build a self-growing city on the Moon faster than we could do so on Mars.”
The Moon is the factory floor. Mars is the civilization.
Musk: “If you warm up Mars, you could one day make Mars like Earth, meaning with liquid oceans and life and where you could walk outside without a spacesuit type of thing.”
Musk: “I call Mars a fixer-upper of a planet, but it’s got a lot of potential.”
A fixer-upper. That is how the richest man on Earth talks about an entire planet. Like a house with good bones and a bad roof.
The rest of the industry is fighting over zoning permits and year-long environmental reviews to plug in a single server farm.
Musk is building a magnetic launcher on the Moon to fire compute into the cosmos.
For ten thousand years, humanity looked up at the stars and saw mythology.
Musk looks up and sees bandwidth.
We thought the ultimate purpose of spaceflight was exploration.
It was always infrastructure.
Earth was never the destination. It was the incubator.

When you realize that yes, that could totally be conscious, then you can start to grasp what consciousness may be. I can see how a lot of people miss this.
LLMs are intelligent, but they clearly aren't conscious?
You could (incredibly slowly) run an LLM by hand by doing the matrix calculations with a pen and paper, would that be conscious? There is zero difference between doing that and doing it on a GPU except its faster.

Under no circumstances is AI more expensive than paying humans, unless you are paying very stupid humans to use AI.

When you realize this logic, then you also must realize that the inversion we are being sold is done with willful intention by the largest religious power on earth, and of course it must be stopped.
Bro, let’s stop pretending.
Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.
Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.
Shinto exists only in Japan.
So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?
The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.
That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.
Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.
If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.
