And I hedged that. Anything short of 100% responsibility with humans is a failure. I get investigating how it occurred, but that needs be very careful to separate ought from is.

2) Not part of the ruling class, my life is somewhat well documented on my blog. Just an average dude at my computer.

I cannot believe this has come to pass.

Of course it is nowhere near as complex as phase 2. But it is not remotely trivial.

It's ~6 GB for "98.2% of Qwen3.8 27B's performance". It is significantly faster as well. Remains to be seen how well it works, I had significant issues with the previous Bonsai 27 compared to the parent Qwen model (documented here: https://humanparadox.org/local-vs-frontier-benchmarks-for-my...) but that also graded a bit worse (~95% of Qwen3.6 27B).

For instance, lets say I have a meeting with Bob, but look Bob emailed me 30 minutes ago saying to bring XYZ to the meeting - that's worth notifying me. But pinging me to say "Nothing in the next 3 hours, good time to work on <overdue reminder from 3 months ago to take garbage out". Boggles my mind they can solve novel math problems but can't figure out what is worth my attention and what is not.

I make restaurant reservations 7-8 times a year? My wife and I go on dates and you simply aren't getting a table where I live if you don't. Fyi we typically spend $120 or so on those dinners.

On the one hand you, if you bought a lot of compute a couple years ago (perceived demand, perceived shortage) you are in a good spot temporarily. But the counter to that is that everyone else is becoming more compute efficient so maybe that advantage isn't what people thought it would be. I can almost, almost run DS4.1 Flash at home. 4 sparks can do it at 200+ tokens per second. I have two Sparks, so I am not in the club. Neither is your average laptop owner or gamer either. But your average HN software engineer can probably easily swing 2 sparks.

Let's look at it in an inverse way. Making a single drug that impacts a single protein, intelligently, from the ground up, has arguably never actually been done. Despite unbelievable financial incentive. And with AI.

I do not have the words how tired I am of hearing tech people and economists talk about biology.

Can we just think through the logistics of AI taking over the world? Like, we won't notice it using all our GPUs? Like it somehow would have enough context to take over the world? lol.

For example, exploitation is bad, but child exploitation is worse. So moving from just child exploitation to adult exploitation is a positive move that still results in an abhorrent status quo. On the other hand I can't think of an example where we went from child exploitation --> no exploitation of any kind...
