Why? I don't really see why this is bad, other than if your company blocks url shorteners/redirects. What are you losing?

So this is the actual long-term bet, where there's incentive to start building more power infrastructure? You'd prefer Finland gets the medium-term results where they don't find a way to finance more nuclear then have to buy

Google has been doing all of that for decades. I remember when they started building their first data center (back when almost no companies required enough compute for an entire data center) they chose the location due to the cleanest energ

I figured that one was non-serious and just used as anchoring and to take the heat whilst other large ones were ok to go under the radar.

If you still trust anyone just because they claim to be a Democrat, you haven't been paying enough attention.

This doesn't seem like a very effective method. I would expect something more along the lines of developing laws around noise pollution or something. Literally shouting at a data center seems more cathartic than helpful.

Gotcha. In that case, the "ants" part of the metaphor is truly fitting since these people just like to comment online and are mostly insignificant. Unlike the ants, they can evolve and become the mathematicians or get a job at a f

From what I see, a lot of people were angry at Anthropic's limits with the subscription plan. OpenAI had some issue I can't remember, and they reset people's token usage (for the session or weekly limits). I think they got a

I don't understand how that metaphor applies here, you seem to contradict yourself. The mathematicians are mad at openai. If the mathematicians are the black ants and OpenAI is shaking the box, who are the red ants?

SamA better than Zuck? Zuck was at least a kid when he made a lot of his bad decisions, and he seems to be getting much better. Sam is on the reverse trajectory.

Why would anyone attack a billion dollar corporation so vehemently and not earn a single dime? Billion dollar companies also hire hundreds of thousands of employees, paying them a lot. They create products that millions enjoy.

I wonder if the distillation was part of the compute deal.

I would be curious to see the venn diagram with the people who think data centers are using all of the water.

I love how this comment is both off-topic and heavily biased.

I sense a lot of condescension and lack of business acumen so I won't spend time writing it up, why don't you just ask your favorite AI or do some basic google searches? Elon was extremely upfront about the philosophical reasons f

Should everyone have a hydroponics room? Even a basic amount of veggies generally require more land than townhomes, rowhouses, duplexes, low-rise apartments can provide.

Scientific research has been getting a bit too Pharisees-like in the last two decades, and it's causing a lot of people to drop out and join industry. I think enabling people to make discoveries on their own without the grad school haz

Social net is a fun term, it's just earned value reallocation.

Gemini works amazingly well, and is better suited for most use cases. When most people speak of it negatively (especially here), it's just with the task of coding, which is a small subset of what google should be training its AI for.

We'll adapt. So far, it seems like every technological increase has demanded more cognitive ability, not less. Sure, we may not need 100 people who are experts at shoveling, but the people developing, maintaining, and even operating th

But they require large support systems (typically rich parents) to work for "free". Scholarships mean they're not free.

That's fine by me. I certainly won't be making any major discoveries on my own (not on this current life trajectory anyway), but am very grateful that other people have.

Because the website is neither a hard problem nor is their work going to be anything remotely close to just prompting current LLMs.

Perhaps this is the fundamental problem that can be solved with AI. As a non-scientist, I'd very much prefer to have massive amounts of scientific breakthroughs instead of massive amounts of well-trained experts.

But they're all highly unsubstantial, sounds like hit-piece lazy journalism. Almost all are just that Jeff was in a leadership role and part of committees that had things under them go bad. One was just saying that people disagreed wit

I don't see this group needing funding, in fact I doubt you could get a meeting to try to invest unless you're a personal friend.
