A bit odd to start out throwing shade at the Segway considering that the concept has been somewhat redeemed with e-bikes and e-scooters.

TBF I basically had the same concerns about how useful my comment was, so it's not like I think calling me out on it was a bad thing.

Fair enough. I acknowledge that I made a mistake, here.

TBF it's probably just a "me" thing. I don't know how much stock you want to put in that.

“We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life”

This quote is just... something.

Is the plan to literally create 8 billion podcasts in the near future? This company doesn't think that might be a tad excessive?

From what I've read (granted from other reviews), the limit would be the equivalent performance of 8 4090s. Which means (assuming we believe Nvidia's claims of 3352 AI TOPS for the 5090 vs the 1321 AI TOPS for the 4090) that you couldn't possess more than the equivalent of 3 5090s. Then that keeps going, so.

Same here, I've never actually seen the term "clanker" be used in reference to a person using the AI, but the AI itself. Which to me was analogous to going to an expensive bakery and accusing the bread of ripping you off instead of the baker (or whoever was setting prices, which wouldn't be the bread).

If there was any sort of op going on (which I don't think there is), I'd guess it would be from the AI doomers who want people to think of these things as things with enough self-awareness that something like "clanker" would actually insult them (but, again, probably not, IMO).

Also, all this would do is change the processing from GPU to CPU. Microsoft commissions AMD, Nvidia or Intel to create a technically-not-a-GPU CPU and just have a computer that uses GDDR instead of the standard DDR.

Thanks.

TBF I can't say I'm sold on the notion of watching Yudkowsky eat spicy wings while also arguing with someone.

Forgive my stupidity, but I don't know what this means. Or it's referencing something I don't know.

Pretty sure I've heard similar things about AI "art" vs artists as well.

I think I might be missing some context here. Granted without context I'm pretty sure that strawman is still the right word.

Pretty sure that's a strawman.

Kind of like saying that humans are car-driving machines because we drive cars.

LLMs and humans are both sentence-producing machines, but they were shaped by different processes to do different work

Except not really. We're not sentence-producing machines, we're "machines" (so to speak) that can produce sentences. Not the same thing.

Once this is in place, they say, nations must be prepared to enforce these restrictions by bombing unregistered data centres, even if this risks nuclear war, “because datacenters can kill more people than nuclear weapons” (emphasis theirs).

So the plan is still to kill everyone to death to prevent GPT-5 6 7 8 ...

OpenAI’s tools also lower the cost of entry, allowing more people to make creative content, he said.

So, even working under the assumption that this somehow works, they still needed two animation studios, professional writers, and 30 million to get this film off the ground.

According to the article, it could be higher than 1.5 billion, though by how much they don't really say. But they're estimating about $3000 per book. For a class action that actually seems extremely high.
