We don’t know that… I also don’t think the current LLM architecture will achieve human-level thinking, but I do think that people will use agents & LLMs to try a 100 billion or so times to get us there… we’ll likely see many different architectures in the coming years as a result, and some that are close enough to be bloody scary (and some different enough to be even scarier!) We might very well still have LLMs as part of the bigger system.

They represent the values of the American people

I don’t get the impression that most American people vote based on values, but out of fear of “the other party” (and its voter base). Meme driven democracy.

It’s always amusing to see US folks visiting other countries and realising how things mostly just work. Even in Switzerland, with the world’s second most expensive healthcare spending per person.

The government can choose to sue (civil) or prosecute individuals/executives (criminal liability).

Assuming there is some legitimate explanation (I’ll be interested in hearing this one!) they likely won’t, but will now establish higher level reporting channels with OpenAI and Anthropic, and perhaps check their important email boxes more often regardless. ;-)

If Microsoft lets the patent sit idle and refuses to license it to others, it would be a very good thing for a few years. Let’s see what happens, though.
