The top companies are already doing double digit billions in revenue. They're valuations aren't insane given that.

The idea is that with AGI it will then be able to self improve orders of magnitude faster than it would if relying on humans for making the advances. It tracks that the improvements are all relatively similar at this point since they'r

Got it. I should have stated Elon used to describe their latest model release, not coined. Thank you

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that. Very curious how they'll measure that. Given they're in the double-digit billions of revenue I'd assume they can reason they'll be there very soon.

It's very interesting how memetic the language around different models is. Elon seems to have coined "PhD level intelligence in all topics" and now Sam repeated it in his presentation. Despite it not having an actual meaning.

Customer Service keeps being touted as a success story of LLMs, but as a business owner and user I'd be very curious to see if it actually improves any UX CS metrics (NPS, CSAT) - as my experiences with AI chatbots are almost always ne

The significance, though, is that the "very limited space and well defined problems" continue to expand. Moving from a purpose built system for playing a single game, vs. having a system that can address a broader set of problems

The prevailing idea seems to be that the first company to achieve superintelligence will be able to leverage it into a permanent advantage via exponential self improvement, etc.

Amazing! Hopefully the effects are sustained over the long term and can be replicated. The potential of the stem cell space is incredible. Another interesting development is patients "cured" of HIV following stem cell transplants

It's important to note this isn't banning TikTok. It's forcing the sale of it from a CCP-linked parent company. The precedent for this would be US pressuring sale of Grindr from Chinese ownership due to privacy concerns: htt

I thought this was DOA once Trump came out against it (after speaking with major donor Jeff Yass). Wondering who will end up being candidate buyers - Microsoft? Google?

Much of the public support around the TikTok "shutdown" is to avoid it rotting our brains, but shutting down TikTok (which isn't even what the bill is proposing) is only freeing up space for similar platforms to come about. I

I'm still surprised we haven't seen more gov. regulation around cryptocurrencies. They're a huge investment of power (0.6% to 2.3% of US electricity demand [1]) and it seems like they are a direct threat to a government'

From my experience you'll receive a partial refund - and in some instances like inexplicable overspending, etc. - you won't receive anything. This may be an exception given a full sitewide outage, though
