"The home of 1999" already beat them to that.

Because a company has to be x more valuable than it was last quarter. Then it has to be done again, and again, and again, forever.

Is g-factor supposed to stand for gene factor?

For example, if a country turns out to have a hidden datacenter somewhere, the datacenter gets hit by ballistic missiles and the country gets heavy sanctions and demands to allow inspectors to pore over other suspicious locations, which if refused will lead to more missile strikes.

"If the AI God doesn't kill you, we will." is one hell of a sales pitch.

So, you know Ross Scott, the Stop Killing Games guy?
About 2 years ago he actually interviewed Yudkowsky. The context being that Ross discussed his article on one of his monthly streams, and expressed skepticism that there was any threat at all from AI. Yudkowsky got wind of his skepticism, and reached out to Ross to do a discussion with him about the topic. He also requested that Ross not do any research on him.
And here it is...

I can't say I actually recommend watching it, because Yudkowsky spends the first 40 minutes of the discussion refusing to answer the question "So what is GPT-4, anyway?" (It's not exactly that question, but it's pretty close).
I don't know what they discussed afterwards because I stopped watching it after that, but, well, it's a thing that exists.

I don’t believe that tortured phrases like “code interpreter” and a “direct calculator” actually came from the internet.

Code Interpreter was the name for the thing that ChatGPT used to run python code.

So, yeah, still taken from the internet.

Elon's mother was born in Regina.

If Canada became the 51st State, that makes Elon the son of an American born citizen and thus eligible for the Presidency.

If Alberta and Saskatchewan leave Canada (and join the States), this also occurs.

So that's why John Wick was so confusing.
