Just put more combos in your deck and less life gain and you solve the problem of long games and commander damage 😅

Find a way to charge companies benefitting from the public commons rent, the way we pay rent to private rights holders today.

How do we spread the riches of society so that you can live and create without having to compete with the machine I guess is the question.
I want to see studies of taxes. Especially on things like water use for industrial uses data centers. Water is part of the commons.

I think the real problem though is a society where your ability to participate is almost entirely dictated by your economic output. And banning technological progress will a) not work unless everyone does it and b) leave that unsolved.

I have a great deal of empathy, I used to be a web developer and I mentor new web developers in the field. It’s crushing the parts of the job they enjoyed and the opportunities for them too. They thought they were doing the sensible thing by learning to code.

Fascists are using AI tools, yes, but I think that doesn’t make AI inherently fascist. Not trying to play semantic games, we can imagine a world where compute is treated like public infrastructure instead of owned by private oligarchs, and the people have a say in how it is used.

Makes sense, this is probably an artifact of the dataset they used when making 4o mini a “mini” model then

Or alternatively small models like the qwen series or some of what Mistral is doing. Would love to see a new non-English poetry benchmark! It could be the next pelicans riding bicycles haha.

Would also be interesting to compare the new 20b p OpenAi open weights model which is 4o-mini class, to see if it still struggles with this. Like, does non-English fluency seem to be a persistent thing that is lost when you distill models down.

Chatgpt might let you use 4.1 a little for free now? I think claude sonnet 4 has some free tier on anthropic’s site, same with google/Gemini

Perhaps this is an opportunity for distilled models like 4o-mini could to be trained in locale-aware versions, by local companies. Unfortunately I don’t think the advantage will persist long term but it might long enough to grow a comany like Mistral.

I think this is as bad as the models will ever be, they will only get more useful.
I want to have the conversation about how we can use it against fascism, or at least not only be a power multiplier for capital, but I think the left is having the conversation about how to shut it down completely.

Does this hold as models get larger? 4o-mini is an older, smaller (presumably distilled) model, maybe one of the things that is lost in this process is non-English fluency. I bet GPT 4.1 would nail this (as would Claude and Gemini 2.5).

I don’t know if I buy this; because the American GDP is made of a lot of different sectors, some of them are crucial to society (food) but we likely aren’t going to be able to absorb excess demand domestically, (and instead farmers are going to be hit with retaliatory tariffs).

In general a trend with the US system is that the government gets very broad powers and the electorate is relied upon to punish them (at the ballot box) for using them improperly.
The current electorate just doesn’t really care about a lot of things.

They want different moderators. I agree the open protocol is an implementation detail they don’t care about, but the result could be moderation they trust over something like Threads.
