Honestly I find these cavalier statements to be in incredibly poor taste. Unless you are completely blind it's obvious that AI is the most significant piece of technology invented since the Atomic Bomb and could very well be the most important thing ever built by Humans full stop. This kind of dismissive attitude is childish and will likely lead to incredibly bad outcomes for humanity.

The economy is already largely propped up by spending from the wealthiest decile.

>(SOMEHOW! I guess we forgot about Sora already)

Yes if theres one thing we know about Chips and AI its that the price of equivalent performance literally never decreases...

I think he's literally conceding your point by writing this essay. That there will be massive upheaval and yes maybe pitchforks if we don't get ahead of the problems.

Only a P-zombie would say this.

Yes thats exactly what a P-zombie would say.

Jevons Paradox says no. Even more "efficient" models will increase overall GPU demand and be good for NVIDIA.

"If you don't understand that the AI driven memory boom has totally broken the cycle you are going to lose a lot of money."

If you don't understand that the AI driven memory boom has totally broken the cycle you are going to lose a lot of money. There is infinite demand for Intelligence and that translates directly to chips.

Which essentially makes the phone a brick and unusable for 99% of consumers. Average users don't care about your weird esoteric privacy and security concerns.

Idk what their vetting includes but I doubt it's a full security audit of the codebase of each app for example and so without something like that why would you ever expect a 3p app to get the same permissions as an Apple internal one?

>Apple's own apps are still blessed with permissions that other apps have to ask for. This needs to be addressed too.

This is a strange position imo. Why would we expect third party apps written by totally unknown people with unknown goals to have the same permissions as apps written by Apple itself?

Not sure what the parent comment is referring to exactly or if they are also conflating things but:

Nitric Oxide = NO

is not the same as common carcinogens in foods like

Sodium Nitrite = NaNO2 or Potassium Nitrate = KNO3

Its a well trod problem: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S254243511...

Not exactly background noise but totally incomparable to the normal CO2 outputs of major nations like the US or China. I.e. ~20 Million Tons CO2 vs 4 Trillion and 13 Trillion Tons respectively.

>Scale actually matters

Is this actually born out in Court Cases? Warrantless Surveillance by NSA seems to be blanket legal for example.

Whats the criteria for getting included on the map? The few I clicked seemed to be clustered at Railyards but were also pretty high quality.

>The scientific basis for this statement is unclear.

Is it? Actually this seems like one of the MOST clear aspects of LLM performance we can measure.

Idk about other people but the way I usefully use llms to help with study is to treat them as a good tutor. If you are stuck on a problem or need an explanation of a concept it helps greatly. Much of the actual process of studying Math, Physics, CS, etc in University is sitting in a room working on problem sets and now you can do that with the equivalent of a highly competent Grad Student to bug with any issue you run in to. However yes trying to get an LLM to draft a 1000 ft view of an entire field and calling that learning is a poor use case.

But Micron is overpriced and new capacity is about to come online right? Right???

Wow how many years of experience with Claude Code and Codex do you have? lol

>Google is already doing this and has an experimental project on top of already having TPUs and cramming their quantized flash onto individual TPUs for inference.

Google is no longer a serious player in frontier AI. I doubt they will ever hit a SOTA model again.

>He apparently had to sell every liquid thing in the portfolio.

You can read in their investor letter exactly what happened and where they stand and explicitly they did not sell every liquid thing nor did they sell all their public equities. Are you just lying or stupid?

Its up 80% on the year. How do your investments compare?

Honestly I discount any company named after Tolkien lore as most likely evil and probably incompetent.

Free ChatGPT on Chat mode.

It's almost always a version of "I used the free version of ChatGPT 10 months ago and it couldn't code well."

"Distillation doesn't work"

lol

You're misunderstanding my comment. The OP was amazed by people who can manipulate symbols on paper. Von Neumann would have been considered an incredibly POTENT wizard. He actually impacted the world.

His work was incredibly APPLIED. Which is precisely why he is remembered and lauded.

Can anyone here not involved in theoretical math name 5 Fields Medalists? Take out Terry Tao or Andrew Wiles or Gigori Perelman and can you name any Pure Mathematicians from the last century at all?

>Why should OpenAI (or any frontier lab) be building these systems if they can't get a secure environment / containment right?

Yes why indeed. If you take it a step further and we reach a point with superhuman systems then there is arguably no possible secure environment or containment.
