    You’re talking about manipulated/malicious/intentfully steered hallucination but the parent is referring to trained emergent hallucination (even if sycophantic). These are two diff…

    Would you use FSD with your children in the car? I sure as hell wouldn’t. Progress is not safety.

    You and I must not drive the same Tesla brand then because my Model Y is a terrifying experience when “self-driving” anywhere besides on highways. I do wonder if folks who say Tesl…

    Not arguing against your overall point, but Texas is a well-known lesson in failed power grid management, market design, and policy - which in combination is the driving force behi…

    You are stating a common misconception. That being that solar owners should be paying for anything other than the cost to push power into the distribution grid. The grid fees solar…

    I read the parent’s comment as arguing that the existence of profits implies exploitation of workers in the quoted instance (p perhaps broadly in England at the time) and that ther…

    Distributed energy resources eliminate a large portion of the transmission cost, leaving only the distribution grid in an idealized/future-state scenario (as I assume you’re talkin…

    Regressive in that solar programs are not inflated, but do require distribution upgrades to realize their efficiency advantages over centralized power transmission. These distribut…

    He’s saying Texas is hot for humans, which is objectively true. One’s willingness to tolerate it is subjective, but that’s not the point here. Don’t take it so personally.

    You are uninformed. ERCOT is heavily influenced (“owned”) by Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) and market makers that are profit seeking entities. This is true of all ISOs for all in…

    I can assure you it’s much higher. Much higher.

    That’s very subjective and case dependent. I use local models most often myself with great utility and advocate for giving my companies the choice of using either local models or c…

    Many disagree. “Not even close” is a strong position to take on this.

    They are opening themselves up to massive liability even with “fine print” — this is meaningful and should not be disregarded. Just because there’s some super indem clause in their…

    Agreed. Every time I’ve used it or been in a Tesla as a passenger with FSD engaged, human intervention has been required several times each trip to avoid accidents, harm to pedestr…

    This is spot on. The liability difference between L2 and L3 is enormous and key to the progression that this announcement represents.

    Fair enough. Indeed my only point was that lithium-sulfur has production potential, as does solid-state, etc. and that’s where the industry interest originates.

    Who cares? It’s a technology in development intended to help solve an unsolved problem — efficient energy storage. This is research.

    As someone who buys, sells, installs, and operates enormous volumes of battery assets, I disagree. No one I know who is in battery tech for a living is writing off sulfur batteries…

    HuggingFace is the place to go for easily downloading model weights. Search for the user TheBloke if you’re particularly interested in GGUF formatted weights.

    Or they’re simply commenting on Google suffering from a commonplace malady seen in many enterprises.

    This is a bit of a reductionist viewpoint. Perhaps you’re disregarding the emergent properties of fitted functions at scale.

    You have to prove your understanding of consciousness to be certain that LLMs are not conscious. It’s your certainty that I suspect most are reacting to here.
