No, I believe AGI will have a net benefit for all of humanity. The telephone system was a net benefit for all Americans even though for a time AT& T (Ma Bell) controlled it.

Exactly. That's why I called them speculative.

That's a different conversation. I believe AGI will be a net benefit.

The charity was premised on either: - AGI being cheap to develop, or - finding funders willing to risk billions for capped returns. Neither happened. And I'm not sure the public would invest 100's of billions on the promise of AGI

I tested Google Search, Google Gemini and Claude with "Taylor Swift showgirl". Gemini and Claude gave me a description plus some links. Both were organized better than the Google search page. If I didn't like the description

The first sentence is mine. The second I adapted from Claude after it helped me understand why someone called my original reply insane. Turns out we're talking about different approaches to using LLMs.

Also, the article doesn't mention there are many well written books in the training data so there's a chance you'll get well written output. It's not all slop. There will always be a need for a human in the loop to serve

The training data contains all kinds of truths. Say I told Claude I was a Christian at some point and then later on I told it I was thinking of stealing office supplies and quitting to start my own business. If Claude said "thou shalt

Parent is not chatting though. Parent is crafting a precise prompt. I agree, in that case you don't want memory to introduce global state. I see the distinction between two workflows: one where you need deterministic control and one wh

I doubt it. It's more for conversational ability to enhance the illusion that Claude knows you. I doubt you'd want old code to bleed into new code on Claude code.

I should have been more clear. I'm saying sodium ion will be chosen when litium ion otherwise would have. We have a large battery at Moss Landing CA where I live. When those batteries need replacing, I'd bet they'll use sodiu

It seems clear that na-ion batteries will replace large scale grid storage especially in cold climates. This isn't another hyped up battery.
