If we already were at the point that AI could self-direct effectively, then the world would already be very different (eg AI-driven technological progress and unemployment) in a way that we might have wished we prepared for more.
Do you mean policy-wise (like Dario is talking about), or more broadly?
I wonder about broad preparedness, but unfortunately there's not a lot that we "normal" people can do to prepare. Hoard savings and food? Learn physical trades?
They believe they're going to eventually develop AI that's capable of recursive self improvement into world-redefining super-intelligence. I wouldn't expect someone in that position to risk giving away their lead. I expect we're going to see more of the top labs selectively holding back their best stuff.
I accept your point, in the sense that I wouldn't suggest that they have any obligation to share their own research.
What seems to be different here, is that they are saying they won't let you use their tool to do your own research.
It is a subtle but important difference. They aren't saying "we have secret sauce we won't share", they seem to be saying "we will prevent the tool you are paying for from independently creating a competing idea".
This isn't that surprising after it was reported on that he had notes about claiming to "come out as a Republican and against the woke agenda" as a PR plan to defend himself. (https://gizmodo.com/sbf-floated-coming-out-republican-tucker...) I wonder if Trump is selling pardons and whether SBF still has the means for it. It's depressing that the US's state of affairs is such that this might be a workable strategy for him.
Even for English speakers, the subtitle experience with pirated movies is often lacking. Movies with non-English-speaking characters are often meant to have subtitles for their dialog and not for English speakers by default, but many pirated versions don't do this. I recently saw discussions online of a lot of people saying they went an embarrassingly long time without knowing there were supposed to be subtitles for the aliens in District 9 or the mute hand-signing girl in The Boys.
Lots of systems like Jellyfin/Emby/Plex etc will pull subtitles from a online repo. And yeah, exactly what you say will happen a lot of the time, and it's near imposable to work out which ones are correct.
I watched an English language TV show, that had a load of German in it. And I got subs for all the English, nothing from the German, then I switched to another source, then it had the inverse, which was great. But what if I wanted subs for the whole thing?
I think one even had the German words, in German....
That's considered a feature in the community. Burning subs on the video trace is considered bad, but most video player will not automatically show any subtitle track.
