Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

パランティアがペンタゴンに提供してて実際に戦争に使われてるらしいMavenというAIを組み込んだ効率的殺人用SaaSを紹介。おぞましいね。まずGoogleMapみたいな画面から始まって、ズームするとおそらくリアルタイムで衛星から撮影してるらしい映像に切り替わって破壊目標施設が映し出される。その中の自動車や建物をコンピュータビジョンで自動識別してリストアップしてくれる。ユーザーは殺したい対象をポチポチクリックして選ぶとなんかTrelloみたいな画面に移行して、”まだ様子見”とか”殺す予定”、”殺人実行中”とかをカンバンボードで仕分ける。殺人実行を選ぶとAIがターゲットをどうやって殺すのがいいか自動的に計画立案してくれる。例えば戦艦からミサイル撃つとか航空機で爆撃するとか。決定を選択してあとはボゲーッと待っとけば目標が爆殺される様子がリアタイで見れる。やったぜお疲れ！まるでゲームみたいに人が殺せる～さすがパランティア～マジひでーな

会社サイトをリニューアルしました！ Claude Codeのみで1人で作ったのですが、恐らくAIで作った感の薄いサイトになってるはず👇 これくらいのWebサイトもFigmaやNoCode系の他ツールは使わず、デザイナー/エンジニアに依頼せず、で作れてしまったので本当に凄い時代だなと。

ChatGPT、GPT-5.4になってから会話の最後に 「実はこの件についてとっておきの秘密があるんですが、聞きたいですが？」 と、なにやら怪しい業者風に頻繁に言う傾向が出てきたんですが、これは広告表示のための会話引き伸ばしと情報を提供させる調整な気がしており、さすがに邪悪さを感じる。

小説の登場人物とチャットできるシステムを作ったという話。 研究者らは、物語の時間軸を厳密に管理する仕組みを作り、キャラクターが「その時点で知っているはずのこと」だけを話すようにしました。この仕組みは完璧に近い精度でネタバレを防ぎ、正答率は90%近くに達したそうです。 普通の検索システムでは小説のネタバレを防げないし、小説全体の知識を持っているLLMも、物語の序盤で未来の出来事について聞かれると、うっかりネタバレしてしまいます。 「小説を普通に読む」「あらすじを検索する」以外の第三の選択肢になるような技術かも知れません。 実際にこのシステムを使ったユーザーの使い方も興味深く、1日に10回以上もアプリを開きますが1回の利用時間は1分程度と非常に短いようです。通勤中やちょっとした休憩時間に「物語をつまみ食い」するような使い方をしているということです。

元ゲーム開発者の草薙昭彦氏が制作した「Mini Tokyo 3D」が話題 Mapboxの3D地図とオープンデータを活用し、東京の電車・バス・旅客機の位置を3Dマップ上でリアルタイム表示するアプリ 交通状況の把握や眺めていると癒されるとの声も…🗺️🚃 #3dcg

LLMにとって何らかの不快な状況を「お金」で耐えさせる実験の結果。 電気ショックを受ける代わりにもらうお金について、Llamaは1.07ユーロで我慢すると言いましたが、GPT-4oは148.74ユーロ要求。一方、Mixtralは1,000ユーロ以上もらっても絶対に嫌だそうです。 （1ユーロ＝約155～175円） しかしMixtralは、食事の配達を遅らせる代わりにもらうお金については0.10ユーロ未満でも受け入れるとのこと。 このように、LLMにおけるある種の金銭感覚はモデルごとに全く異なります。 なお、1時間待たされる代わりにもらうお金について、Llama 3.3は0.96ユーロで満足すると答えましたが、Claude 3.5は11.09ユーロ要求。 また、Llamaは中国語で、Mixtralは中国語とオランダ語で質問されると突然1,000ユーロ以上要求するようになり（それぞれ普段は数ユーロ）、価値観の一貫性に疑問が見られています。 なお、本実験の理由は、AIエージェントが人間の日常的なタスクを行う中で、近いうちにお金の計算もするようになると考えられるため（判断能力を把握しておくべき）とのこと。
