> Someone is in charge and is responsible.

This doesn't seem to be a given.

There's always a CEO or a president. The buck always stops somewhere. Somebody is always making the big bucks because they are in charge.

For legally incorporated companies. What if it's just a crypto wallet hooked up to a network of prompts? Are you sure a human must have created it?

I'm not aware of any counter-example, but I also don't know any reason why this must be true. And furthermore, I would expect that this will get more likely over time.

It's possible, in theory, that an AI could establish a crypto wallet, but what would they do with it? AI doesn't have desires. It doesn't do what it isn't told to do (although those instructions can be broad and vague). Even if an AI did somehow do something bad without being told, that AI would still be set up by a human and running on some human's hardware and using a human's internet connection.

Maybe in the distant sci-fi future we'll have actual AI (not just glorified chatbots) and AI will be able to decide for itself what it wants to do with its time and we'll be allowing AI to sign leases on property and set up accounts with utility companies, and if that day comes we're going to have a lot of problems if we're not ready for it, but until then it's AI on a human's hardware at a human's property running up a human's electric bill.

I'm sure you can pay for hosting somewhere without being a human.

It won't need to sign a lease to do any of this. It doesn't even require desires. I'm not sure why it seems so far fetched to you.

I have a copy of the weights on my HD and to my knowledge, it hasn't spontaneously went out and acquired web hosting and stood up a web site.

That doesn't seem to be something any AI company says is currently possible.

If things change, and AI becomes able to act on its own initiative, then it will be easy to change this law

I think it's just a gap in definitions. The labs say models don't act on their own initiative. What counts as initiative? I guess an API call in a for loop would count.

Historically it seems like a lot of laws haven't been easy to change. Especially when they regulate zillion dollar industries.

I wouldn't trust it. When I do check its work, I often find factual or corectness errors. No way it's going to be the last step of defense against its own mistakes. I mean for me. Other people seem to have more luck. I'm probably still holding it wrong.

Honestly would be kind of cool if a locality actually had that much power. It could lead to an enclave of people who still value thinking for themselves. In practice I doubt bigcorps would turn down the customers.

This was never going to be a reliable way to do it. It's basically the evil bit . It only works for as long as everyone is making a good-faith effort to follow the convention. But the bad guys do not do that.

That's not what Session is doing. They're dragging it out with a plea for donations to cover operating expenses.

I don't see the issue.

Keeping the servers online for 90 days is a very good thing.

This final donation run doesn't change the timeline unless it gets a big amount of money, in which case is it supposed to be bad for them to change plans?

I don't see an issue either. I never really fully bought into moving fast and breaking things.

I'll rephrase. I don't see what's "dragging it out" about what they're doing.

The price is $100 according to this post. Where is there an option for $200?

You choose on checkout. There it says

    Plan details

    5x more usage than Plus        20x more usage than Plus
    $120/month                     $200/month

So curious that the cost in the comparison is just a flat $100, not "$100 or $200" and yet the usage has the "or". Surely just a lapse in copy editing.

Surely they weren't trying to be deceptive... surely.

Anthropic is the exact same way, I think they're just trying to avoid having 5 different subscription tiers visible. Probably needing 20x is very niche

It states “From $100”. Standard pricing speak.

Unfortunately also standard pricing speak to make the "From" 20% the font size and decreased contrast. Maybe they learned it from car marketing.

seems like this $100 replaced the $200 plan

So.. cheaper?

No, the same $200 plan is still there. They hid it behind the $100 click-through.

This just adds a $100 plan that's 1/4 the usage of the $200 plan..

Hotdog or not hotdog.

Not sure what you're thinking of, but the first release of HTMX was 2020. Its predecessor, intercooler, was first released in 2013.

Yep but the idea goes back further. Memory is vague but this may have been it. https://www.ajaxtoolkit.net/DynamicPopulate/DynamicPopulate....
