Wow, so you think everyone must have the right to disrupt other people's lives with force? To block roads, to heckle meetings, is a god given right? If someone wants to be heard, they have like 5 hours after work, an infinite amount of

Pretty sure the US explicitly restricts investment in Chinese AI companies now. The US has learnt its lesson investing in China too.

This is the second problem with the EU. They can't defend their own backyard, refuses to pay for their 2%, and free-rides off of US protection. They tried to court China as their partner, only to now face a flood of Chinese car imports

You don't own what you can't sell. Any asset value will be massively reduced if its untransferable. Mistral isn't exactly some decade-long state funded national champion. Its a 1 year old startup whose core staff all come fro

What makes US investors so uniquely ambitious and generous? I'm starting to appreciate the US financial sector more and more.

All 70 year old companies is not helping your point. US has new upstarts like Tesla and Nvidia, which at their prime, add like 1 IKEA per fortnight to their market cap.

Wow, skimping on 150 people for the biggest change to the tech industry in since the invention of the computer. You understand Apple spent like billions for this electric car industry that never produced anything? Why would they want to sta

Where does it say only 5% will move jobs? You underestimate the overlap between GenAI and EVs. Apple is not merely a software company, their AI strategy will not be merely send data to datacenter to run LLMs. Apple has to run local LLMs hea

It at least disproves LLMs from being 'god models'. They will never be able to solve every problem perfectly.

Children have a sense of wonder, to them, AI will just be magic actualized. And in fact AI IS magic by every definition, its incomprehensible and incredibly powerful. Now AI progress may outpace their ability to understand it, but they&#x27

They are preferred not because of inherent superiority of AMD GPUs. But simply because they have to price lower and have lower margins. Nvidia could always just half their prices one day, and wipe out every non-state-funded competitor. But

"it seems to me that AI is best at replacing jobs I have a layman's understanding of, and AI is no good at replacing jobs I have a professional understanding in." You attribute this to a 'bias of underestimating other pe

Its not a lie that people fall for. Its a lie people want to believe. Try telling people about the pace of AI advancement, scaling laws, how AI art managed to surpass 90% of human artists in 1 year. And it'll either result in visceral

Softbank's belief was that throwing capital would just make things work. But from wework to many other of their startups shows its not the case. Telsa had to deploy their capital very efficiently in a capital intensive industry. Say th

You don't. It took like 2 extra months for Azure OpenAI to get GPT-4 turbo. There's a noticeable time delay between OpenAI deploying their latest model and when Microsoft manages to shove it in Azure.

If you don't trust OpenAI, you can choose to trust Microsoft. Azure OpenAI is 3-months behind OpenAI that costs 3x as much, but you get more 'security' and better performance.

Your average SQL query is worthless, there no special sauce in SQL queries, their value comes from the dataset they run on. These small SQL LLMs are indeed worthless, since LLM performance on SQL queries is quite limited right now, every %

Are you aware of the recent developments in AI at all? This isn't an unsolved challenge, video multimodals would likely crush this problem. However, the advanced, LLM based systems with tons of world knowledge (and therefore can easily

The thesis of that essay, is that 1. Nvidia GPUs are dominant at training 2. Inference is easier than training, so other cards will become competitive in inference performance. 3. As AI applications start to proliferate, inference costs wil

Data centers cost 2% of electricity (Statistics from a few years ago). AI inference is so costly at scale, one can easily see data centers start using 4% of total electricity, and in the next decade 8%. That will start to have severe effect

It depends, owner-CEOs have true stock, not just options, so are balanced between upside and downside risk. For-hire CEOs often are also paid in equity, not just stock options. But even with just call options (Which have no downside risk),
