Well I "tried it out" I asked it one question, and it gave no answer and said "Sign up to use more!" I don't think I'll be doing that, no. I can't think of a single dimension grok is winning on (capability

I think this is a bit of a simplistic mental approach. I've certainly seen a lot of "The engineer owns the outcome, AI is just a tool, don't release anything you don't vouch for." However, I just don't think th

I feel like this is a willfully confusing article. So autism may involve disrupted genetics, but you may not have inherited those genes from your parents, they may be what are called "de novo mutations" which are mutations to the

Did you read your link? It says that 33% of people adopt AI, not that AI makes all workers 33% more effective, that would be absolutely insane. For that to be true we'd expect to see either companies who use it have revenues all sudden

Okay but like... so what? Like does that even really pass the common-sense test that that is enough? Like my bank would give me a phone call before I wired $20k oversees. Google should by default send you a sms confirmation on your first $1

You said 10s of trillions of dollars of revenue, which when the sum of all salaries is 65T, is minimum 15.3% of all salaries best case. It really feels like you're just pulling numbers out of nowhere here.

That's what the 30x instead of 20x multiple is, for a "growth" tech company. There's no strong evidence that openAI or anthropic will have non-linear revenue growth, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to

Well if we make AI that learns at the rates humans do, it'll fundamentally undermine and destroy the relevance of all existing AI. It sounds to me like you're saying "we basically are there it's just a matter of degree&q

I blame youtube. I feel like any online service provider has a duty to verify your identity on transactions over $10k USD by default and that should be enshrined in law. Honestly maybe lower.

Well except AlphaZero played 44 million chess games in that time (and actually played with a 44 core computer). So I'd like to point out that the human is still just a few orders of magnitude more efficient.

I looked at the math and I think it's true. Remember revenue is just sales, not profit. These labs are shooting for > $1T valuations, which traditionally means your PROFIT is at least 1/20th or 1/30th of that (so let'

> The "value" of most knowledge workers -- based on what enterprises currently pay for them -- is $50 - 70 trillion annually. What do you mean? The sum of ALL US salaries is $13.4 Trillion per year. According to google $65T is

So you can see an actual game on that website, and the play seems pretty decent to me for a while (~1700 lichess = 1300 elo) until move 28 when black throws away their queen for absolutely no reason in an incomprehensible blunder. In some w

100%. There's an implicit threat as a journalist -- I'll write this story up if I don't get my way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an inherent vicious cycle in that if the price gets too high our ability to pay it off becomes uncertain, at which point the premium for the risk would shoot up dramatically (and so on)?

Hopefully it’s apparent to you now at least, that providing names and political affiliations to the current administration is dangerous.

I spent a few hours trying to run all the numbers myself from first principles (e.g. sum of all American salaries is 11.7T, plus international), to see what I could come up with. What I came up with was Nvidia is maybe slightly overpriced c

In an alternate universe where all research is completely auditable and we all have infinite time, yes that's a valid approach. And you're welcome to spend your life going that route, but the rest of us are gonna trust our common

We need to start using AI to hack our own devices and make our own TV os, sort of like was done for routers. Probably relatively doable these days.

I've looked up animal farm in more detail, and it seems like you're fundamentally undereducated on the topic. Animal Farm entered Anglo-American classrooms in the late 1950s, and its adoption was heavily influenced by the Cold War

I agree that a lot of what I didn't like about Animal Farm could have been fixed in a different context (deep dive into the theory of socialism as a classless society, overloading of the word communism, actual history of Russia and how

You know that's not the chief goal -- if that's the chief goal, we'd all be assigned to watch Babe rather than read animal farm.

For what it's worth, there seems to be no evidence that reading increases IQ. And it's kinda always struck me as slightly weird how proponents don't feel the need to gather evidence on the matter before making bold prescripti

Well for whatever it's worth, I feel like I understand why. At least when I was in school, nobody really made a very persuasive case for why reading was important (which I think it is) and I'd routinely get assigned books like Ani
