Can the AI CEO hire a consultant or lawyer to take care of this stuff?

It seems like the traditional way to develop good judgement is by getting experience with hands-on coding. If that is all automated, how will people get the experience to have good judgement? Will fewer people get the experiences necessary

So long as they have coal power plants, and need the electricity unless it get prohibitively expensive, they will just mine more coal. The way to reduce emissions is to replace high-emission infrastructure.

There are about 37 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year. If you could get the price down to $100/ton, you can get the world net zero for $3.7t/year. US GDP is 25 trillion/year. World GPD is about 96.5 trillion. So, it would

The article provides no historical context. Startups are risky and fail all the time. Are more startups than normal failing? How many startups can cut back and survive without more funding?

Once you've found product-market fit, what prevents a competitor with better tooling from copying you and out-competing?

I've used GPT4, and never got it really do anything useful.

Self-driving cars haven't really failed. It looks like Cruise and Waymo are about to get permissions to operate 24/7 in SF. I think the greater issue is that it is difficult to assess time-to-market. You to asses both what is usef

Do we just need better regulators? We could increase pay and hire larger regulatory staffs to move faster. It seems to work for Singapore.

It looks like it'll be competition for phony experts and politicians. I think it is easier to improve AI algorithms than deal human with human liars.

Are modern colleges actually succeeding: 1) Exposing people to depth of thought 2) Teach people how to think Maybe, at one time they did, and maybe some schools still do, but it doesn't seem like most modern colleges are really doing t

We have the army corps of engineers, which maintains a lot of the dams. We could expand from there.

Is the trained model available to download anywhere?

While a mortal computer could work for some stuff, how are you going to train it? It seems like each computer would need to be trained on a large training set, which is going to be slow. If the computers are the same, then it seems like it

Those things may require government investment, but if there is going to be a lot of investment in those things then it becomes worth it to figure out how to do those things more efficiently. Startups can innovate on the technology for upgr

If there are going to big investments in nuclear, then it'd make sense to invest in R&D to improve nuclear power. The same goes for any other renewable energy technology.

Is code available?

That would be the same as curating social media feeds.

Isn't a lot of legal language intentionally written to be hard to understand? Doesn't that drive up billing hours for lawyers, and benefit those with the most lawyers? Could we have more rules that difficult to understand language

It might be better to just capture CO2 from the Ocean or the air, and then use renewable energy to make jet fuel. While the efficiency of the process may not be super high, it will be carbon neutral. See https://www.weforum.org&#

If the oil companies have to use a more expensive alternative service, it will drive up the marginal cost of extracting oil, and make oil less cost competitive against renewables. Furthermore, Amazon will no longer have business incentive t
