They need to be competitive to some degree for the hardware to actually work as a valid reference and explore those spaces. They also need the business to be successful enough to be a proper threat to would be rebellions from the hardware partners. In general, it is about the software.
Who says they're not advocating? Who says they were aware of this before today?
Extend this to other disciplines - if everyone who cared about security resigned every time leadership pushed to rush something out without proper testing, the world would be a worse place. Sticking around and continuing to try to change the culture is how good companies are made.
They're out of ideas. Quitting is an idea. There are plenty of other things to do but if they're not going to bother, then quitting in protest is better than going along, no?
No, not regardless of magnitude. But anything that have a large impact on food prices will decrease the ability of poor people to pay for it. It’s not rocket science.
People are already starving in the world. With higher prices the amount of people starving would be more. It's gonna be ten thousand more or a million more? That's up for debate.
Price increases due to disruption of Ukrainian grain shipments from the war substantially threatened African food stability.
Despite their being plenty of capacity elsewhere because the smaller redirects of trucking into the European markets crashed prices enough that it led to protests in Poland and discontent elsewhere (though probably with significant Russian psyops involvement).
Lets just base benchmarks on bounty rankings. To bench a model, you have it look at PRs on some open source projects. It has to complete a novel task or improve a previous task but no points for just re-doing a task with an existing PR. We rank the tasks by difficulty for the benchmark post-facto, once completed.
If an AI company wants to show off, it'll have to crush some OSS PRs. If another company wants to say their model remains supreme, it'll have to complete other tasks that were left on the table.
Of course, you would only bother the OSS project with new PRs once you were actually not embarrassed by what your model did.
In this way, rankings are created from jolly combat and one-ups-manship and we get some OSS work done.
(mostly joking but it would be a fun way to do things)
