I would say they do yes. But "environmentalism" without an aimed-for energy consumption target and serious plans for the associated technological and ways-of life adjustments is something else: just pure entitlement. Ref: In 2009,

We are extremely energy-efficient. My lunch was one fruit, had no breakfast, a bit hungry but can still type in the sequence of word you're reading right now. Compare this with the wattage of OpenAI, from what I can find 2.9 Watt-hours

OK, apart from the old (under air conditioning) remaining placid, what else do you have that makes you think that (quote) "We are as prepared as we can get for the shit thats about to go down" ? First question would be who is &quo

One question about the Novels challenge: as there are two true/false questions, a random pick of answer will give a 25% success rate right? How do some model manage to be below 25?

Yes, but... Not often have horrible people been paid an incentive to trigger responses and emotions in others, at world-scale, and with complete immunity from the consequences. We'll see how the Brazilian experiment goes but I suspect

Oh wow this statement of yours is a blast from the past, it's like I'm back in the twentieth century for a bit. But seriously, where are all the new discoveries then? Also... where is the energy coming from in this spontaneous pr
