I assume many who work at OpenAI have seen Pantheon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_(TV_series)
I assume people at OpenAI take inspiration from dystopian SciFi (like 'Her')
Have we as a species considered that the very last thing we need given our climate crisis and already near-apocalyptic state (fires, floods, storms - it's biblical!), is some risky tech bro vanity project gamble eating up the rest of our resources and accelerating the death of our species? That maybe the attempt of capital to finally replace pesky labor with cheap machines isn't worth risking it all? No? Guess it's t…
Who's gonna purchase the goods if noone gets a salary? That will work out like the french revolution.

That was my first thought as well. Sounds like a cool name for a black site.
Huh. I guess I'm old now, but my first thought was obviously the interstellar transportation device with a big honkin' rotary dial to select your destination. ᐰ
It is a tense moment.
The serpent guard's eyes glow.
The Horus guard's beak glistens.
The Setesh guard's nose drips.
North Norwegians will finally experience higher electricity prices like us in the south experience since a few years.
On the plus side, a ton of electricity generation capacity is being built for AI datacenters. If this is a bubble and it pops, electricity prices are going to fall faster than you've ever seen before.

I do not understand why they chose Norway. I would choose a country where it is easy to build up a new power plant quickly with solar and wind, close to the site of the data center. Maybe they just have too much electricity up there that is not needed by the population or existing industry?

Even if it pops, I think the cat is already out of the bag. About LLMs: Maybe there won't be much training going around as model we might starting to hit diminishing returns with the current model architectures/approaches, but I believe inference is here to stay. Scaffolding code, trivial functions, ... are things that LLMs excel at doing and once you get used to offload those to the LLM it is really hard to get back…
True, but local models cover that use-case very well already and consume little power doing so.
So another major bidder for electricity in my area comes online. Not looking forward to the invoices next winter…
(Didn't they at some point also say they wanted to build their own semiconductor fabs? That went in the same direction).
