It’s wild that $goog is so undervalued (p/e 27) given Alphabet owns Waymo in addition to everything else, and yet Tesla is so overvalued (p/e 243!!!) despite zero Robotaxis in the near (or far) future and lackluster sales. Goes to

And the ads haven’t even showed up in the night sky yet! It’s going to be much sadder once we start seeing McDonald’s ads wherever and whenever we look up.

Unless the whole presentation was generated using sora-gpt-5 or something, this was very underwhelming. We know for a fact the slides/charts were generated using an LLM, so the hypothesis is not totally unfounded. /s

What’s the profile of these talents like? And what are the skills that are most highly sought after? Is it the researchers or the system engineers that scale the prototypes? Or other skills/expertise?

Thanks for the tips. I placed an order for the AD3+Parts Kit and excited to dive in!

Thanks a lot for the recommendations. Would you recommend the Real Analog course independently? What does the Propscope one offer that Real Analog doesn’t? The Propscope one looks kinda old so I was wondering what I’d miss if I only used Re

False dichotomy, when you could have both, and they can have non-overlapping censorship criteria. What one censors the other doesn't, and you get less censorship when there are more options available.

It's a breath of fresh air how grounded and coherent Wenfeg's argument is as a CEO of an AI startup. He actually talks like someone technical and not a snake oil salesman. Compare this to the interviews of Altman or Musk, talking

“… we have a verbal agreement that these materials will not be used in model training” Ha ha ha. Even written agreements are routinely violated as long as the potential upside > downside, and all you have is verbal agreement? And you did

I had the ARC AGI in mind when I suggested human workers. I agree the other benchmark results make the use of human workers unlikely.

How can people check their data? In the medium term the plan could be to achieve AGI, and then AGI would figure out how to actually write o3. (Probably after AGI figures out the business model though: https://www.reddit.com/

Just because you can generate numbers between 0 and 1 doesn't make them meaningful probabilities. Are these based on data? No, they're rhetorical tools used to sound quantitative and scientific. Nobody will be applying the calculu

I think the achievements in the past couple of years are astonishing, bordering on magic. Yet, confidently promising AGI/self-driving/mars landing in the next couple of years over and over when the confidence is not justified make

At his level of wealth and power he can unfortunately peddle in all sorts of highfalutin technical-sounding nonsense with zero accountability. Few people like Yann LeCun can afford to call his bullshit and survive the reality distortion fie
