Anthropic CEO Floats Tax on AI Firms to Fund Universal Income

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on governments to tax AI companies to fund a universal basic income and introduce employee retention incentives to account for the potential impact the technology could have on the labor market. In a blog covering the potential policy responses to the “AI exponential,” referring to the rapid improvement in the technology’s capabilities, Amodei urged governments to develop regulatory and tax solutions to cushion its disruption. A universal basic income funded...

What would actually make you trust an AI? Not "it sounds right," but trust it the way you trust a person or an institution?

We're starting to lean on AI for real decisions, but two things are odd about it: it can be completely confident and completely wrong, and most assistants forget everything between conversations so there's no track record, no "self" that's accountable for what it told you last week. So I'm genuinely curious how people here think about this: what would have to be true about an AI system before you'd trust it the way you trust a doctor, a newspaper, or a bank?

Our AI bills are subsidised, and I don't think many people have priced in what happens next

This is something I keep thinking about as someone who's built AI into a few businesses. The price we pay for AI right now isn't the real cost. Altman said they lose money even on the $200/month plan. I read Anthropic had people on their $200 plan burning $1000+/day of compute until they brought in limits. And OpenAI is supposedly on track to lose something like $14bn this year. Token prices keep dropping, yes, but they're selling it below cost and investors are covering the gap. That's fine...

Story of How Im Running an Unlimited $6/Month AI Provider on 4x RTX 3090s

This submission is a tale about how I launched an unlimited LLM provider to about 60 hyped people on the waitlist, then immediately served them a fully dysfunctional death-loop model, and how most people, very reasonably, disappeared, but thanks to a few extremely nice people stuck around anyway, we kept the project alive and its still pretty chaotic but gaining traction. To back up a little bit-- I believe that the whole point of AI agents is that they should keep working. They should read file...
