    I'm a designer by profession but the majority of my actual schooling was in photography. Capturing a great visual moment feels second nature to me and the process feels so involunt…

    If you're a fan of the holographic brain, you could postulate that perhaps the brain’s usual filtering mechanisms are being sufficiently degraded to allow for consciousness to tap …

    Yeah, what you said represents a 'net gain' over not having any of that at all.

    > Can't we just send LLMs back to the drawing board until they have some semblance of reliability? Well at this point they've certainly proven a net gain for everyone regardless of…

    Wouldn't 500bn into quantum computing show better returns for civilization? Assuming it's about progress and ... not money.

    They don't seem to care about that part.

    Saving the planet doesn't make the stock prices go up, so no one will care. Private companies are now getting their own nuclear power stations to power AI. We can't get new nuclear…

    I've always wondered if the US Government's AI research is as advanced as their general technological lead (usually 10-15 years ahead of consumer tech). If so, it would mean OpenAI…
