Ironically I had a job figuring out what he meant by strike at its roots so I asked an LLM. Gemini seems to think he means labour bargaining/strikes, attacking the stock bubble with better accounting regulations and open source. I&#x27

I find the industrial revolution parallels interesting too. I figure we're in the steam age and this is a bit like the railway bubble. Or maybe a bit before that - I'm not sure current AI is as useful as railways.

But what about the damage along the way? Misallocation of capital? Too many data centers and not enough jobs? CO2? Expensive RAM? Endless articles on HN about AI saying there are too many articles on HN about AI?

You know I think people might be more flexible. When I was last in the US I was driving a 15 seat minibus and at the moment I'm using an e-bike. Doesn't make that much difference to me. I'm pretty flexible depending on what s

Just a 100% tax on monster vehicles and maybe some subsidy for normal cars / evs would sort it.

Sitting here in central London on the day of the conference it seems a bit wimpy to me. Max today is 34C which is hot but not life threatening. Some trains may be delayed but they do that all the time. I assume the LSE library is aircon. Mo

How can you misgender with xe? It's unisex. Although Sanger may not want to be treated as unisex I guess.

Trouble is if ethical people don't develop it, less ethical will instead. Like if the US had said nukes are dangerous so we won't develop them and let some dictator get there first instead.

Still above the actual IPO price of 135. It's below where it opened trading on the first day which I guess is what the editorialised headline is supposed to mean. Trading opened at about 160 on the 12th and is about 155 now. Such fluct

There isn't that easy a fix. Since Brexit "cake and eat it" lies, and "fuck business" deal (both Boris quotes), business has been a bit well, fucked. Hence high debt, poor economy, seven different prime ministers as

To take the other side as nearly all comments agree, I'm not too worried about my face. My socials - twitter, fb, linkedin all have my face and 2/3 real name. When I do things in the real world I also have a face. Also if I want t

I think the trouble is the LLM is quite catchy and so gets more upvotes. We are losing to the clankers!

>It’s all just nonsensical hype, ... It’s a questionable promise of future technology. I don't see why pondering the future and planning for eventualities is bad. Better to ignore it and have no plans?

The argument in the article seems dumb. Basically if companies believe AI is risky then morally they have to stop developing it. Which would be kind of stupid - if Anthropic etc. don't do it the Chinese or some other bunch will and lik

I think the counter arguments to doom are more social and economic. If we make AI smarter than ourselves it's likely people will still have jobs/income and a higher standard of living in the same way that in invention of the tract

"Big Tech" seems to basically be Elon Musk, known for nazi salutes and nazi grandparents who moved out of South Africa because it wasn't racist enough.

It does seem to have some sort of element picker / own filters. I've been using that. Fair enough with the other stuff.

It's not for Grok/xAI. It's an estimate for the total market for AI at some future time. As one datapoint: >Morgan Stanley projects a $25 trillion market for AI-powered robots alone by 2050, It's about 10x current AI

Mystery fatigue is tricky because there are generally no tests for what's going on and it tends to get better after a while on its own so it's hard to tell if anything worked. I got an odd fatigue myself and went to the doctor for

The article has uBlock lite, which works fine - I use it. It's actually a bit easier to add/remove custom filters compared to Origin.

I don't have much of a problem with becoming self aware. More questionable is hooking up AI to launch nukes - you wouldn't want to do that with Claude. There's also the time travel thing.

That's not quite right. TAM is the total addressable market so if SpaceX's share of that is 10% in means they'd have to give SpaceX $2.85K every year forever. To sane wash things a bit, the assumption, I guess, is AI will sur

The tech is kind of cool - cars that do 0-60 in ~2 seconds, reusable rockets etc. And back to trying to make cool things. I was around during the Space Shuttle era when it seemed things had been reduced to stuff that sort of worked and cost
