Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished

@ailurocrat@scicomm.xyz @wod0bow@mastodon.social @aphedges@hachyderm.io @paulshryock@phpc.social Copyright does far more harm than good and should be abolished. It doesn't protect the livelihood of individuals and small businesses in practice. Instead, it's a weapon wielded by large corporations to protect their monopolies. It's abused to take down content that's not in violation of copyright and to restrict people being able to use/repair/modify/backup their property. Large corporations getting special exceptions from it didn't start with LLMs.

Tao: Open math problems being non-renewably mined by AI

I wrote recently about how the collection of good, fruitful open problems is now being mined in a non-renewable fashion, leading to the potential scenario of these problems becoming scarce. This may seem unintuitive at first, since the set of possible problems one could ask is infinite. Perhaps the following analogy can help: a country or region can suffer a critical shortage of drinking water while simultaneously being surrounded by a massive ocean. One can easily generate any number of open problems in mathematics at will, such as working out the 10^10^10th digit of pi. But the vast majority of such problems are not worth focusing attention on: they show no particular propensity to reveal any further insights or connections to other q

Tension wood: A 'muscle' that can both bend and straighten plants

A research team from INRAE and the University Clermont Auvergne has shown that trees are capable of correcting a curvature they detect in their stems through a specific biological process. In the study, young trees with bent stems were placed in an experimental set-up that prevented them from sensing their orientation relative to light and gravity. The only sense remaining to the trees was the perception of their own curvature. Under these conditions, the scientists observed the formation of a particular type of wood, known as tension wood, which acts like a muscle to correct the curvature of the stem, allowing it to realign within a few weeks.

Mercury 2.5

Mercury 2.5 is the most capable diffusion LLM on the market. It runs at 1,107 tokens/sec and offers a 40% increase in intelligence over Mercury 2, comparable to cost-optimized frontier models.

The origins of Partner’s computer case

Initially computers were complete and relatively closed products developed by individual manufacturers, which designed and produced all of their key components while also managing every aspect of their maintenance and use. The first significant departure from this production approach was brought on by minicomputers. Manufacturers no longer required an entirely original hardware or software design.

I resigned from Anthropic today

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

A Biography of Lee Holloway, the Architect of Cloudflare's Technology (Part 1)

Cloudflare's rapid growth as a cloud service is due in part to its many unique technologies. Technologies like Anycast and same-IP access are just a few examples, and it was CTO and co-founder Lee Holloway who created these mechanisms. However, he was forced to step down due to a serious brain d
