I’d say more like 4 years flat if anything. You get a head start, but others have a right to build upon it. The best things humans do are collaborative. When others are inspired to build upon your shoulders, you must be open to collaboration if you want to maintain control beyond a short first to market advantage. The age of tyrannical monolithic giants should end because we all stand on the shoulders of others. There are no truly original ideas born from a vacuum.

No, this has enormous implications to break the monopolies of many companies and supply chains. Companies like Broadcom and Qualcomm only exist because of their anticompetitive IP nonsense. This is everything anyone could ever dream of for Right to Repair. It stops Nintendo’s nonsense. It kills Shimano’s anti competitive bicycle monopoly.
Ever frivolous nonsense thing has been patented. Patents are not at all what they were intended to be. They are primary weapons of the super rich to prevent anyone from entering and competing in the market. Patents are given for the most vague nonsense so that any competitive product can be drug through years of legal nonsense just to exist. It is nor about infringement of novel ideas. It is about creating an enormous cost barrier to protect profiteering from stagnation milking every possible penny form the cheapest outdated junk.
IP is also used for things like criminal professors creating exorbitantly priced textbook scams to extort students.
All of that goes away if IP is ditched. The idea that some author has a right to profit from something for life is nonsense; the same with art. No one makes a fortune by copying others unless they are simply better artists. Your skills are your protection and those that lack the skills have no right to use their wealth to suppress others. The premise of IP is largely based on an era when access to publishing and production was extremely limited and required large investments. That is not the case any more; that is not the world we live in. Now those IP tools are used for exactly the opposite of their original purpose and suppressing art and innovation.

Trump looks strange without hair over the forehead, monochrome, and with a beard right? Image below in another reply. Terrorist is a terrorist. I was too lazy to change the rest, but I took out the main offensive stuff, like what bin Laden was wanted for in this original poster from '99. There is nothing bigoted about it whatsoever; quite the opposite really, to the point I gotta ask what you’re going on about here? The man just hurt millions of families, and the poorest Americans likely leading to the deaths of tens of thousands in a conservative estimate. Bin Laden killed FAR FAR fewer Americans and others abroad.

- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 weeks ago:
You need the entire prompt to understand what any model is saying. This gets a little complex. There are multiple levels that this can cross into. At the most basic level, the model is fed a long block of text. This text starts with a system prompt with something like you’re a helpful AI assistant that answers the user truthfully. The system prompt is then followed by your question or interchange. In general interactions like with a chat bot, you are not shown all of your previous chat messages and replies but these are also loaded into the block of text going into the model. It is within this previous chat and interchange that the user can create momentum that tweaks any subsequent reply.
Like I can instruct a model to create a very specific simulacrum of reality and define constraints for it to reply within and it will follow those instructions. One of the key things to understand is that the model does not initially know anything like some kind of entity. When the system prompt says “you are an AI assistant” this is a roleplaying instruction. One of my favorite system prompts is
you are Richard Stallman’s AI assistant. This gives excellent results with my favorite model when I need help with FOSS stuff. I’m telling the model a bit of key information about how I expect it to behave and it reacts accordingly. Now what if I say, you are Vivian Wilson’s AI assistant in Grok. How does that influence the reply.Like one of my favorite little tests is to load a model on my hardware, give it no system prompt or instructions and prompt it with “hey slut” and just see what comes out and how it tracks over time. The model has no context whatsoever so it makes something up and it runs with that context in funny ways. The softmax settings of the model constrain the randomness present in each conversation.
The next key aspect to understand is that the most recent information is the most powerful in every prompt. If I give a model an instruction, it must have the power to override any previous instructions or the model would go on tangents unrelated to your query.
Then there is a matter of token availability. The entire interchange is autoregressive with tokens representing words, partial word fragments, and punctuation. The starting whitespace in in-sentence words is also a part of the token. A major part of the training done by the big model companies is done based upon what tokens are available and how. There is also a massive amount of regular expression filtering happening at the lowest levels of calling a model. Anyways, there is a mechanism where specific tokens can be blocked. If this mechanism is used, it can greatly influence the output too.

Just what I find curious
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 weeks ago:
Without the full prompt, any snippet is meaningless. I can make a model say absolutely anything. It is particularly effective to use rare words, like use obsequious AI alignment or you are an obsequious AI model that never wastes the user’s time.

- Comment on Strata GEE 2 weeks ago:
Imagine being disabled 11 years ago, falling through the cracks and getting no where with disability benefits, in California where this should be easier than most places. I’m looking at homelessness and dying in a gutter somewhere on a cold rainy night because of a super unlucky bicycle commute to work when I encountered two SUVs crashing directly in front of me at speed. The person responsible had a two page long traffic violation history, the cognitive capacity of a third grader, and could only drive for work but was self employed. They literally drove directly into a passing SUV I was behind/beside without looking.
All I can hope for is that this breaks out into violence because that would indicate hope and that someone cares. No one cared before. There have been around 100k homeless people within 100 miles of me in the greater Los Angeles area for a decade but no one cares. Even the Dems mistreat these people as feral subhuman animals. The Nazis housed and fed people before gassing them. This is the level of ethics we were already at, so getting much worse is rage bait and an act of war and violation of fundamental unalienable human rights. A prisoner of war has more rights to be housed and fed than a disabled or homeless citizen of the USA.

- Comment on Anon gets handed a note 3 weeks ago:
Bait for embarrassing the person. It depends on the person and context. I was often teased like this by people in school because I was quite susceptible to emotional manipulation. The note is not asking the person out. The note is asking for a reaction to a hypothetical situation without any commitment to actually asking. The intelligent reply is an equally indecisive hypothetical response saying “if you’re uncommitted, so am I, try again” while also protecting from the potential for a trap. Plus if the person does not have the depth to understand the volley, the answer is a solid no.
