So... This is more comparable to a guppy tank than a farm. Generally, yes you are right. Home farming (eg vegetable gardening) generally isn't economical. That doesn't mean it's no…

Our one dominant model of technology-driven economic progress is the industrial revolution. Manufacturing. As Ai companies argue for market cap based on projected economic output..…

Bingo. This is the literal answer to "why." Also bans on various casino hacks.

Can anyone bring this down to earth for me? What's the actual state of these "ML compilers" currently, and what is rhe near term promise?

So... Bodybuilders do this thing called "bulking and cutting." The best way to add muscle fast is to overeat. Work out lots. Sleep lots. Eat lots. You get fat, but you also get mus…

Yiooo!

What makes this hard to read/follow is the grandiose moral vision... and the various levels of credulity it's met with. If it's words from Ilya, Sam, the board... the words are all…

>>Many corporations work like this also. One of those things that are widely true, but rarely admitted to. It seems to be very much a maturity thing. The older,larger and more gove…

Precisely. Sure, considering the platform-game paradigm different products sources cross subsidize one another a different stages of their life cycles. This is just how firms work,…

Yes... Investors and executives.. everyone in 2023 is hyper focused on "Thiel Monopoly." Platform, moat, aggregation theory, network effects, first mover advantages.. all those way…

It's all very abstract, and hard to narrow objectively, considering considering that we don't really know what a "memory" or skill is. The mechanism.

Ok... So the alternative to great man theory, in this case, is terrible man theory... I'm not following. If focusing on control over openai, is great man theory... What's the contr…

Objective in what way? What claim are you rejecting? Anyway.. if you want to have a conversation about childhood, parenting, suburbs.. quantifications and statistics (assuming that…

True. Arguably, work and social life have also gotten more difficult, at least for some. Meanwhile.. it's also not overwhelmingly true that administration, and other things heavily…

Perhaps, but that is a seperate debate. Arguably everyone has always been in the bubble of our own life. OP had an intention, using the term. He's not talking about stereotypes or …

>>Parents, meanwhile, can either work to balance the easy sources with... It's possible to some extent. Different parents will have different levels of ability and success. This is…

The bubble op referred to is not a particular place or lifestyle. The bubble, in this context, is the average/representative lifestyle and parenting depicted in lifestyle journalis…

Is the alternative theory that the ownership, control and leadership of OpenAI is immaterial?

I'm not criticizing these projects, their current legal structure. What I mean is that these were created as public goods and functioned as such. Each had unique way of being open,…

Well written. Well done. Early hn vibes. A lot more in here, that actually helps to understand what's going on with openai, and what might happen next in the space. I think the las…

IDK. Let's proceed with caution in gauging intentions and interests. Altamans', Microsoft's, the Jedi council's. "Humanity's interest at heart" is a mouthful. I'm not denigrating i…

>> There's a thin possibility that Microsoft would have to write-off its whole $10B (or more?) investment in OpenAI, but that isn't Satya's focus. The focus is on what he can do ne…
