So I wondered a bit how much it actually affects the economy.

“S&P 500” companies’ market cap is about 57 trillion dollars with a P/E ratio of about 30. So openai by itself is dragging down the total s&p 500 earnings by only about 0.5%. The bigger problem is that there are multiple companies like openAI, and a large chunk of the entire economy’s valuation is tied to the promise that all the AI companies will somehow become profitable sometime soon.

I remember tab groups showing up one day by themselves maybe a week ago, and then I quickly clicked about two buttons and now they’re totally gone and I almost forgot they were a thing. But likely if I had summarily clicked 2 different buttons it might have been turned on without me realizing it, and that would cause the model to be downloaded and the CPU cycles to be spent (at least if I kept the tab groups on)

the US constitution specifically has a carve-out that allows using prisoners as slaves

disagreeing with a bunch of delusional tankies is not the same thing as trolling, and I think somewhere deep down you know that.

That you’ve successfully driven away 99% of people who disagree with you does not make you any more correct.

Your unwillingness to understand does not a non sequitur make.

I long wondered how he manages to identify as a libertarian despite what he spends all his time talking about, now it’s starting to make more sense lol

what is relevant is the difference exists, and is a trend that can easily be extrapolated into “blossoming democracy”, especially in the minds of the russian people.

real democracy is when all power is concentrated in one person who rules for 20+ years at a time and criticizing him is highly correlated with falling out of a window. There is absolutely no possible nuance.

Spotify also originally got all its music by pirating it. But later it started printing money for record labels (while fucking over musicians) so all was forgiven.

the entirety of stackoverflow is not enough data to make the AI work properly. They need terabytes of text, stackoverflow has about 50-100GB of useful data at most

the point is not LGBT, the point is that it’s used as a wedge issue vs palestine

This ship is not really chinese. It’s registered to the cook islands, seems to be owned by an indian company, and the captain is georgian. It turns out that the nation of origin doesn’t have absolute control over all the actions of its citizens.

Though if a chinese ship gets seized in international waters, that would be convenient ‘precedent’ for china to start seizing other ships in international waters in the south china sea

the best part is when the police training material prominently features quotes from adolf hitler

(actual slide)

There is an implicit threat of government censorship there, even if it is ultimately toothless. And since valve is clearly not the one interested in increasing moderation, your point about the 1st amendment “not applying to private forums” is irrelevant

if it’s the government that is doing the censoring, against the will of both the users and the private company, how does it not apply here then?

also the person apparently spent 2 million dollars to find the number. and the money is probably from stock compensation from nvidia

that does happen to be one of the defining characteristics of mersenne primes.

And searching for mersenne primes happens to be the easiest known way to find extremely large prime numbers (via the Special Number Field Sieve I believe)

Looks like the image I found cropped out the signature, seems to be jeremykaye.tumblr.com
