Well we have 8 billion non-artificial general intelligences walking around on earth yet we’re dedicating enormous resources trying to electronically replace them. This is in the name of tech companies stealing value rather than spreading it

Boomer harems lol that’s a new one on me but undoubtedly a thing. My whole career in the UK I’ve noticed a similar thing in HR harems - in many places, particularly recruitment companies but it’s common everywhere, 90%-100% of the HR staff

Twitter really is a hellscape. I was drawn in for a few days recently and started getting affected by the barrage of relentless right-wing garbage. And for those on twitter it seems like the most important information in the world when it’s

I always found this a bit of an omission in Bostrom’s argument in Superintelligence - on one hand he’d say we should avoid giving AI a goal like paperclip maximisation while overlooking that the method of transistor maximisation used to att

Yeah that happens too. I generally say UK. In Europe I’m maybe prone to saying England/English perhaps, like in Italy “Io sono Inglese” but in the UK my parents are welsh and I was born in England so don’t really identify with either v

Well half of Northern Ireland would happily burn your ISO rulebook to the ground. Plus nobody says “I’m from GB” when abroad, we all say “I’m from the UK”. Country is called UK.

This short sentence cadence always stands out to me – a native British English speaker – as a hallmark of a contemporary American writer trying to write something deep and impactful and profound. Usually just comes across as the opposite.

Why is not using .gb a mistake? The official name of the country is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - Great Britain is the island containing England, Scotland and Wales. The UK also contains Northern Ireland. It wou

Where I live in the UK there’s a chain of shops called Home Bargains that for some bizarre reason has a life-size cardboard cutout of a security guard at the door of every store instead of the real thing. This seems like a version of that b

Given there’s fabs doing essentially the same thing elsewhere then yes. Getting down to 3nm and the technology and secrets that involves would take a while though. TSMC can’t do it either without xUV lithography machines made by ASML in the

Nvidia has a market cap of 4.5 trillion dollars and everyone is committing hundreds of billions to AI CapEx in their direction - they can afford to organise chip fabs if it really came to it. Ok TSMC and ASML would need to be on board but i
