I guess his business plan is contained in his company name. Safe superintelligence.

Safe AI is reasonably well defined and would be a quite different foundational model. Assuming a few things it could also be more accurate too. So then the other LLMs are basically commodities but he has something different and better.

And he has the best pedigree to build that.

The superintelligence thing idk. But I guess to get a $30b valuation you’d have to give the investors something there and of course it would be a little speculative by nature so that’s ok.

Curious any thoughts.

So many problems with the existing process but questions could include -is anyone going to take down bad quality or fake research -is there a way to update published papers (like link rot in references ) -will the repositories be SEO optimized so people will find them

Japanese tubs are bigger partly because they are meant to have more than one person.

But in addition they are typically unit bathrooms - like prefab that are installed in a unit in like a day or two. This makes them way cheaper than USA bathrooms. In USA you need contractor, carpenter, plumber, electrician all at diff times and that makes the bathroom really expensive to install.

I assume that if bathrooms were cheaper in the USA we would have bigger/nicer ones. That could be with a bigger bath.

Yes they do but how many are wrong /out of date?

But are book publishers the same kind of people as VCs. Maybe not

I worked for a big testing company. There are all sorts of cheating and many are easy to detect with the right tools. Maybe this is just the wrong tool.

Before we crucify these guys do we know what articles they are deleting?

I’ve found deleting the worst quality ads to be good for everyone. Maybe they are deleting the worst.

This should have been blocked by google (possible it was like Bing?) If you try to load ads in there are automated checks for example the url displayed must match your site url and any redirects are also cause for the ad to be rejected automatically. Phone numbers should be the same.

Also was very amusing when we shipped test boxes...that sucker ran really hot, and I got one call about the Itanium box asking for tech support help and the report was that the box was on fire.

Yes within Intel it was thought that management would not push the 960 since if did so it would be picked up by the press as validated RISC is better. But for embedded applications it was very successful, I was shipping hundreds of thousands of them per month at one point

OK then, I was very heavily involved in both the item in the Intro (the flaw in the first Pentium, I was the production control guy in the sole source factory) and #1 on the list (Itanium, I was trying to get hardware companies to work with their software suppliers to port to the new architecture using a very significant budget).

The common thread was Intel marketing pushing something that was a dog for marketing reasons

1. It is very amazing not in a good way when you think you have enough inventory but someone from HQ calls up the warehouse and has the older CPUs crushed by a bulldozer (you don't want to throw them out, they are quite usable)

2. Was amazing that sucker ran so hot tech support got a call about test boxes catching on fire

Did in person deliveries via plane quite a bit in the 90s. Was working for the worlds largest semiconductor company.

Most staggering example was trying to get a very very small box of engine controller CPUs from Penang Malaysia to an auto plant outside of Philadelphia to get there before 8am shift start. Only way to make it work was hand carry from Penang through Singapore to Anchorage, clear customs and then rented Learjet to Philly.

Penalties for late delivery were massive. In this case had we been a couple hours later would have resulted in cascading loss of production resulting in auto union people needing to work during their summer shutdown and quite large cost.

Semiconductors are different from other parts. They take a long time to manufacture. And, sometimes you think you've made them but they just die for whatever reason. If you want to make a new factory it takes years too. I wonder if the auto companies have learned to keep some semiconductors around just in case. Oh wait. No.

love the creativity in finding new use cases for AI that ...really make sense.

YouTube is blocking ads from showing next to content denying climate change, saying this stops creators from making money on this content. Now I read this as you will be able to watch climate denying content right away with none of the annoying ads. But people who go to watch the normal content on climate change will need to sit through the regular ad torture.

Will this actually lower viewership on the denier content?

Yes they would have. OMG that was 10 years ago and ...what is new in Google search these last 10 years. Maybe a lot but I don't see it. I just see ads and, when I do some long tail query most of the results are just random sites in russia or whatever with keyword salad (is there a word for that kind of site?)
