Yeah it’s just unfortunate market timing with the hardware shortages

I’m still on the side of treating AI development with more caution than less. So depending where you live this could be a very good thing or a very bad thing in the long haul.

Depending on where you live it’s a good thing or a very bad thing.

I support their ethos but also can’t justify the purchase.

Yes I’m aware of his story. The Canadian company named themselves such because they were stealing Tesla’s (Elon musk’s company) idea for the electric semi namely because they never delivered and the guy really wanted one so figured he may as well make one himself. They seem like a pretty decent company, although very small.

Is your issue with the man or the company? I actually don’t know much about Edison trucks beyond that they exist.

You know what kills a lot of people? A collapse of the biosphere.

Sounds like it’s your chance to pull an Edison (like the Canadian Edison semi trucks).

Maybe not a minivan but I’m pretty sure you can configure this with a lot more seats for not too much more and that’s until after market parts become a thing.

Not much of a turnaround on plastic, but worth a shot I guess.

I thought /s meant small peen.

With what seems like millions upon millions of copyright infringements, seems like more than enough for a serious firm to take on. With some major copyright owners on board I don’t think it would be as David and Goliath as you’re making it out to be. I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of these cases come to pass when these labs actually become profitable. I haven’t heard any pushback on copyright for AI labs in other countries so far so it seems to be a uniquely western complaint although I’m more than happy to be proved incorrect. I honestly have no clue how copyright is managed in Israel, India, or China.

Hallelujah

Seems easy enough to prove with a court order. Short of that though I’ve seen people get models to perfectly complete content inferring that information is in there somewhere or at minimum the model is willing to go fetch that information breaching copyright. I am still curious if this is an issue in AI labs elsewhere or if it’s primarily a US / UK issue.

I mean yeah depends where one points their mind but still seems like the transition. I guess I’m thinking of minds trying to understand reality and how that often culminates in a compassion and acceptance practice. One for instance can choose to become increasingly aware of celebrity news or politics and will likely be trapped in that cycle you are mentioning. These days I personally don’t feel discontent like in the past, maybe disappointed like a parent might be of a child they know has so much promise and potential but that’s because I still choose to have attachments and desires. The goal is to expect nothing and accept everything, reality is going to be as it is regardless of our personal attachments or desires but I’m still hung up on wanting wellbeing for all minds. Generally I’m pretty content in the human ride, I wish it was better for others and I do my part to help.

There could be a class action lawsuit. I wonder how other major players in AI are managing this, particularly labs in China, Israel, UK, Singapore, and India. Of course each nation had its own laws around copyright. Like isn’t there an equal pushback like this for Chinese AI labs or is it a uniquely American or western thing?

I think the awareness depression / discontent thing is like the dunning kruger curve. That is the unaware are mostly content, as someone becomes aware they become increasingly discontent, often falling into some sort of nihilistic depression, then as one continues past that point in awareness they grow increasingly towards being content and feelings of internal wellbeing. This is a generalized statement, some follow very different curves.

I mean so are social networks mostly and most search engines and so on. Name of the game is to provide a service to gain people’s attention to serve them ads and / or collect their data. Either that or you pay for it up front and they still serve ads and collect your data.

I mean there’s almost no secret sauce about these AI’s currently which is why open source models are nearly as good. We are totally free to set up a nonprofit kinda like Wikipedia where people donate to train and run AI models for the public based on open source datasets. We’re now seeing people like PewDiePie kinda getting the ball rolling.
