"But my idea is great! I'm sure an engineer will understand and work for equity"
The problem is that Angels/VCs have a lower bar for seed investment than the engineer. So if you can't get seed investment, it is a bad signal.
Wonder if any anomaly detection would work on that
AI is on a path to outperform humans at a large number of tasks and jobs that previously would have been described as requiring intelligence.
Look at the starship program for an example of where you can get in 20 iterations
They feel that they are entitled to be dishonest while writing articles about how CEOs are dishonest.
This is why Sama said compute is the currency of the future.
The networking alone is a huge bottleneck at scale. A competitor has to be better at networking AND chips to be competitive.
On a personal level I feel bad for the people who enjoyed wiring up small data centers or enjoyed writing GitHub comments about which lint rules were the best. But I'm glad those are no longer necessary.
I actually put 40% of my TSLA into NVDA last year, because the demand for AI hardware is going to keep going up. I'm not saying the stock will never go down, I'm sure it will be volatile, but don't confuse short term volatility with long term technologic transformations.
Pragmatically, it doesn't make much sense given that it would take years for this approach to have any real work use cases in a best case scenario. It seems way more likey that efficiency gains in digital chips will happen first making these chips less economically valuable.
GLD is an ETF that tracks gold.
BTC is for gambling.
This is kind of the main use case for crypto. Fear and Greed
The solution to this problem is to not use this technology for things it cannot do. It is a mistake to distribute your political agenda with this tool unless you somehow have curated a propagandized training dataset.
You will still get cold emails and LinkedIn messages from these people but you don't have to respond
Is it possible that someone who regularly eats 4000 calories of pizza and fast food in a day would gain less weight than someone who eats 800 calories of bread in a day?
And all the obese Americans eating pizza and fast food regularly just have hormone issues.
It is the same concept, your body can only process and use a limited amount of carbohydrates before it makes you obese and give you diabetes.
You can only drink a cup sized amount of water at a time. A building sized amount of water dumped on you would kill you.
Edit: I'm getting a lot of responses. It seems like there is a general misunderstanding of what happened during the previous ice age. Humans existed during the previous ice age and humanity survived a major increase in temperature. Obviously any tribe or culture that needed to be able to walk across the bearing straight didn't survive, but humanity did. And without any modern technology.
I get that an unknown future is scary, but just giving into the gloom and doom isn't productive. We need to increase out technologies for many reasons, not just climate change and we can survive and thrive, even if the world will be different that doesn't mean it will be terrible.
