Actually, fair point. While the Anthropic judge case is awful for artists and such, it is actually a great thing for libraries and especially the internet archive, which has faced heavy pressure in the last years.
It’s really ironic that the public good library that has been facing heavy pressure from giant corporations is now… being saved by other giant cooperations which are now deemed more important

LLMs are one version of AI. It’s just one tiny part of AIs that are used every day, from chess bots to voice transcription, but they also are AI.

Would be interesting though

…no? It obviously is

That’s not my point. We’ve had good AIs and much development in that area of research already 50 years ago. Chess computers started being better than the best humans in the early 2000s. It’s not a particularly new field. But the development and research of artificial intelligence already completely stopped two times and it took over a decade each time to really start research in the field as well.
The reasons why this happened is because of too big promises; even if they succeeded in some things, they promised way too much. If they continue promising way too much in the current AI hype as well, I can see the exact same thing happening again: People getting disappointed and the field getting isolated for another decade.
I’m not saying the current successes will disappear, but that future development might, for a good while, just as it happened back then.

The worst part about is it that there have been already two winters in AI development, in the early twothousands and sometimes in the 70/80s? I think? because of exactly this: They always hyped up AI and said they’d solve all the world’s problems in a short time, and when that obviously didn’t happen, people got disappointed in it and pulled funding…

Connecting superintelligence to the board’s recent actions, which Sutskever initially supported, might be a stretch.

Why do you do that in your headline then?

It is, the whole purpose of Ruffle is to play flash files, but without a security threat (which is the whole reason Flash doesn’t exist anymore).

It’s running in a sandbox afaik, and the goal is to replace Flash but stay secure. Since it uses Web Assembly, you can’t use Ruffle in any way to create any security threat, you couldn’t create without using Ruffle. (Different to Flash, which created tons of new security threats, even leading to the plugin being disable).
