Maybe there is a language barrier, but I didn’t understand if a legal framework is implied by “ethical restraints”. Can one be taken to court for violating an ethical restraint?

Good point… I guess I’m still curious if there could be a way he gets taken to court for this, but probably now.

Are there laws in the US about such conflicts of interest or was is basically tradition until this point not to do shit like this?

“My PC” was even replaced with “this PC” since Windows 11, which feels almost too symbolic…

Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just… Ban Google if they don’t comply?

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

This is a very good point. It makes me a bit uneasy, even though it is still better than driverless cars. Aside from this, I also have mixed feelings about the fact that every pound being put into development and purchasing of these busses could have been put into the expansion of existing routes…
And it’s not even something that would drastically improve my experience if it was fully successful. Busses are already one of the safest modes, being safer than trains in several countries. Maybe I’ve missed something and someone can correct me, but this feels like throwing money at technology for technology’s sake.

I mean… a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

I will never understand why this place is idolized by so many people…

I’m afraid of what this will mean for similar conspiracy theorists in other countries :( I’m very afraid that none of us are safe from people like this.

This is great! I love the classic elements combined with modern features like the search in the menu. Firefox looks surprisingly good with the theme too :)
