What do you think the difference is. If you are making a quarter trillion in profit per year (where NVIDIA is tracking), you want to invest. What else should they be buying? US bonds, housing?

Only when more money is created than production increases. If money grows faster than goods for consumption, then buyers bid up price resulting in inflation.

who is "[harvesting cash] from stock markets"? Show me where consumers are being bilked. NVDA hasn't sold any stock to the public since 1999. If they want to trade shovels for ownership stake in the mines - good for them. The

It doesnt matter if you trust them or not. I don't know why people get so hung up on this. Blind trust is for children and the only certain things in this world are death and taxes. The point is that openAI is currently messaging again

Most of the people I know working at AI Labs believe it. I think surveys back this up. We have a situation where the people running the labs are claiming it's a big risk. Outside experts not working for the labs are claiming it's

Im less concerned about hn change and more about society and the public I have to coexist with. People use cynicism as a tool to avoid thinking or engage with reality. It is just reactionary snark, and everyone nodds along. It isnt a positi

They are just mind killed - jilted by past lies to the point where they react oppositionally instead of looking the world around them and thinking. Most are the same people who said LLMs will amount to nothing when GPT-2 came out. Some stil

Perhaps, but that is no excuse. Rampant and unconstrained cynicism is toxic and self-destructive. Like a child that starts smashing their toys, hoping someone will take pity on them.

You know you can look it up if you are skeptical, right?

Good. It will take decades of economic and social innovation to catch up with current model capabilities. No upside is worth the potential downsides of getting this wrong, even if you set aside all the x-risk stuff.

Why do you reject the idea or possibility of yes to military capability, but with ethics or restrictions? It seems obviously possible, and your arguments support it. Where is this tacit endorsement you see coming from? It seems like nobody

"It" is having some level of military capability. I agree with Ajedi32 that not doing it is strict pacifism. beloch and jump- advocated for some level of national defense as a practical necessity sophacles- stupidly thought this w

That explains the confusion. I dont think anyone in the chain made that equivalency.

by s1artibartfast 6d ago
How is that an argument that demilitarized pacifism is a tenable national policy. This was the point you started arguing against. Russia hasent nuked Ukraine so nobody needs defenses or arms?

by s1artibartfast 6d ago
I got that far. Does the 2nd point contradict the first (setting aside the question of if other deterrents are at play in Russia?)

by s1artibartfast 6d ago
I think the better argument is that Europe has a credible nuclear defense, therefore they don't need conventional military. If Russia starts rolling tanks towards Berlin, drop a nuke outside their international waters and announce the

Maybe I'm slow , but how is that relevant to the point? Can you expand? Am I understand is that defense is important because sooner or later someone else may choose aggression. You might put your life savings on the street in front of

Not that far fetched. Most is already possible with todays tech. The scary stuff is yet to come. The department of war is talking g openly about bombing China if they get ahead of us I. The AI race.

You needed a team of scientists and state funding to make superbugs, not a 12 year old or an angry misanthrope.

I would actually expect to see a reduction in densification if a LVT is more expensive than current property taxes. While it obviously encourages putting high value land to greater use, it also encourages avoiding high value land itself. If

And the labs are all building panel of domin expert models, while simultaneously chasing open math problems. I would be shocked if they weren't tuning those models with the most relevant math texts and user material
