More likely a legal opinion in Google that is waving a shroud of non-compliance and a $200m fine. Result : every exec immediately stops everything until this is clarified. They have to, it's their legal duty and if we are talking Googl

TBF that's not an option in London, or in apartments. But - other comments have noted, some backup generation capability that use less green resources should be acceptable for such rare contingencies.

I think most people expect(ed) that performance vs. size would (is) be an s-curve. The surprise for most is that we have climbed up the slopes so far and so fast. What the shape is is not clear to me.

10^16 -> 10^24 flops isn't 100x, it's 100,000,000x This happened in 10 years (training cost of largest model according to the batshit crazy god AI article in the FT). On the one hand compute power increased by about 100x and th

With the lever of chatgpt they can spew more hate more quickly. Like write 100k personalised emails advocating whatever per day quickly. We're all getting ChatGPT approaches from people on Linkedin.... I have a can of gas in the shed,

The technical change is that you can build very useful, very small sats, which are cheap. Current SpaceX launch costs are lower, but like 1/2 price and 2x is not a big premium for a national security need.
