Do we really care about this gap? If open models are 6 months to a year behind frontier models, does it really matter that much?

This is the first time in terms of model progress where my personal response is: It does not matter to me because the models 6-12 months ago were already good enough for most everything I need to do. I think 95% of dev work is perfectly fine 6 months behind, if that is truly where we are at now with these open models.

The concerns here, like most concerns about privacy, are hyperbolic hypothetical hypochondria, until they’re not.

As planned by whom?

The Epstein class. Bankers, Zionists who lost their civilization and Temple 2000 years ago:

A good google search to view art owned by one family: "Artist funded by de Rothschild's depicts racial violence and rape themes"

This take is oversimplified to where it’s literally scary - heres an honest book about the Rothchilds Bankers and Zionists with the additional context I hope you incorporate.

I've read it. A follow for you could be Jews vs Rome - Netanyahu recommended this with a review: "we lost that one, we won't lose the next one"

Another follow on for you could be the question of the origins of the Slave Trade: Jews and Negro Slavery in the Old South - 1789-1865.

The root of all western Ethnic issues are Zionists.

Telling me some art depicts a bad thing tells me next to nothing about the merits of that art.

That is fantastic news then, if commercial product products will always be better than open source, and open source products will continue to get better

Agreed. The only "issue" is that commercial products will always be ahead, with less friction for most users. This ultimately results in most people using these over open-weight variants. Users might not even be aware that the open-model variants exist. Similar to Windows / MacOS and Linux.

In a way that's ok, though? I run Linux on my laptop, and in some ways it's better than Windows or macOS, and in other ways it's lacking. But that's fine; the existence of Windows and macOS doesn't mean I can't run Linux, and doesn't mean I have a worse experience.

(Yet; I do worry about future required hardware attestation for basic things, but that's another issue.)

Then I guess I stop using computers that much outside of my job. It was fun while it lasted, but there’s other stuff.

You don’t _have_ to buy into the technocracy, there’s a whole outside going on.

This government has proved time and time again it does not deserve the presumption of regularity and that it is more than capable of acting in arbitrary and capricious manner for petty reasons.

I agree completely. If these things are so dangerous that they turn every person into an advanced persistent thread actor, capable of causing untold cyber destruction (oh, and they can make bio weapons etc), then they should be treated like the weapons they are.

Oh this happens all the time. When Apple announced they would be scanning everyone’s private iCloud data for CSAM, they had some “PSI” system which would at some point consider the content of a grayscale and reduced quality version of the image.

The problem is that security researchers for years have known about pre-processing attacks where photos which appear as one thing (a dog in a yard) appear ad something completely different (a cat on a couch) once put through machine learning pre-processing.

I would argue the person dispatching a rogue agent to do whatever has full control of the situation.

A beautiful prompt feels like something of a misnomer.
