Situation is quite different than the article paints it. The venture was risky to begin with, and already dead in 2026. Subsidies are gone, GE didn't produce their new 18MW turbine…

I was reading the post and thinking "wow, that's pretty clear for a smart man used to writing for other smart men. it'll be really difficult to misunderstand". I read the first cou…

I don't think it does? Nor is it trying to. LotR was something that happens once every 50 years - a movie series that's as good as the source material and holds quality over 3 movi…

Umbrella term for political opponents? Those always exist. Some variation of "jew puppet", if I had to guess.

If it helps, the nazis themselves probably asked this very question before they started killing ... whatever the contemporary term for nazis was back than.

What this does is make it harder for new AI companies to train from scratch. Anthropic should take it from its marketing/strategic budget. It just bought itself a 1.5B moat at exac…

> To prevent misuse, businesses relying on these exemptions must provide proof (e.g. documents or test results) and publish annual reports on what they have discarded. I wonder if …

> Is supression of opinions and emotions even a good idea? This is the wrong question. Having free opinions and emotions is such a basic and fundamental good, that any restriction …

Ideally, one would have a meta cognitive toolkit and regularly retest their beliefs, sincerely. But that's unfortunately advanced technique, and likely requires the better part of …

What you're doing now is taking a reasonable standard when going 200 on the autobahn and applying it everywhere else. And you don't see any problem with this because... think of th…

Considering how skewed tax participation is, this would be a very one sided view. Just tax the top 49% more, no matter what's their current level of taxation, and redistribute to t…

Could just be infra. I'm betting Anthropic is much better prepared.

On the other hand, when I visit Venice - which is as tight a city as can be, small streets with stone in every direction except the sky - they somehow manage to drop trees in stone…

... carbon is fungible. Are they sure the effort of recycling them isn't higher than the effort of producing a single modern GPU?

Well, I'm pretty sure ambulances occasionally run people over. Doesn't mean we should ban them. Orders of magnitude matter.

My biggest problem with Fable is that it includes health into its biology restrictions. Which means half the use I'd get from it ... doesn't exist. I'm not as bitter as I could be.…

For consumer products, definitely. Any unreasonably large charge (with a comfortable margin, like 10x) should be waived by default, unless the client specifically requested the lim…

A steelman of this would be that they left OpenAI to build a company more focused on safety, and they're doing exactly that.

Well, yeah, which is why it's evil. Socialism I mean. How else would you call failing to do basic utility math while insisting you should govern and shape society? My answer to the…

Those who are excited are a lot less likely to be out of a job in a year. I'm not saying that's _why_ they're excited. But it's a great time to be a builder, and a terrible time to…

> WTF is Africa doing? Exactly what Ukraine was doing before the war, only more of it. A mixture of low level corruption, kleptocracy and outright feudalism.

Buy "Cursor", not "Cursor's IP". This means brand, users, and a shitton of data. And if you combine a shitton of data with a lot of compute, large userbase and good engineers, you …
