I weep for humanity.
People say that sort of thing when it’s a hypothetical. It’s a little different when a quarter billion dollars is actually on offer. Hitmen get what, $5-50k? And that’s for murder.

Yeah man, that’s not fucking good.
no it's capitalism at it's finest. We get less violent because AI research pays more than murder, so more people focus on being good AI researchers than good killers, and the world is happier for it.
You're broken

Nuclear is actually a great example. It's a major scientific accomplishment but pretty much the least cost effective method of energy generation. Nuclear allowed us to generate huge amounts of energy to waste on whatever we like when the real focus should be on massively decreasing energy demands. But of course that doesn't make anyone money.
Decreasing energy demands isn't going to happen though, and energy should not be thought of as a profit generator. You can spend all your effort trying to do something that isn't going to happen without forcing people to do it, and you can lament that public needs don't make profits, or you can deal with the reality of the situation and accept that things aren't ideal.
>energy should not be thought of as a profit generator
By whom are you referring to? By me? The general public? Or the stock holders of the power company?
Energy is a HUGE profit center.

Sure. $250M buys a lot of help.
Zuck can take the glory if he wants. Glory doesn’t pay my bills.

#575It's almost certain these pay packages aren't being negotiated, but are instead ways for players (e.g., sama) to keep their talent from leaving their current positions.
Oh, you got a $8M offer from Meta? That's it? Interesting... They're offering Jane $250M.
