Re:AI 'godfather' LeCun has 'zero concerns' about human extinction

I don't think he's concerned at all. He wants to destroy their profitability before they remove his chips from inference. Thats why they are selling billions at scale of chips to China, he needs llms to be commodities. He wants to eliminate any company that can rival him, like any monopolist oligarch.

Re:Tesla killing Solar Roof is leaving installers with six-figure losses
on Monday September 07, 2026 @04:04PM (#49602400)
The entire premise is stupid. Panels need to be large to have reduced install costs and wiring costs. Install costs dominate solar install pricing in the United states. It is far far cheaper to install a new roof and giant solar installation than to go with a solar roof. It's just a broken concept at the very start.

You can't exceed roofline performance on hardware. There is an performance cap you can hit. This recursive self improvement stuff lets you be closer to the pareto frontier, but the idea that it is leading to some exponential growth is a total pipe dream.

well, California currently is guaranteeing that benefit to nem 1 people for twenty years. I would much rather penalize those people than make everyone else pay a subsidy to them, as we are currently doing. They should bare the risk of their investment and get paid market rate.
My issue today is .. I cannot be paid market rate for giving back to the grid, even in hours when California needs the power.

I think you had me until you mentioned long term storage. How do you store significant amounts of energy across seasons? I'm just not aware of anything other than pumped hydro power that has anywhere near the cap as capacity to do such a thing.

related tangent: install costs of batteries and solar in California are insane. I recently had battery and solar installed, and labor and permitting were 60% the cost of the system. Systems without either of those markedly bring down the cost.
