Call links are a lot more work than "a few buttons"

All of the Soviet Union's uranium came from Kyrgyzstan?

I thought Czechoslovakia was a huge uranium source for the Soviets as well?

I heard rumors someone burned his house down. No idea if they're true or not.

PLA is widely used as a medical plastic and its normal decomposition is into lactic acid.

Even if it is just being atomized down into smaller and smaller particles it's safer for you than any other common plastic.

The colorants added are the only risk

Yeah that's about the face I was expecting him to be making. It's the "Please knock my lights out" face. The mental agony face.

Working long hours is sometimes justified: but unless you're the CEO you should be getting extra pay or time off in lieu. Anything else is wage theft.

He has said that they already know everything they need to know to get to AGI.

OpenAI has not made a single thing that wasn't just a wrapped LLM.

So either A: he has somehow been running a skunk works that has fundamentally changed everything we know limits LLMs and none of the researchers leaked anything or B: he thinks LLMs are the way.

Additional quote when he was asked about AGI:

“How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity? In three words: deep learning worked. In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it,” Altman said.

This tracks with the whole "I need 1 trillion dollars of energy investments" plan to get to AGI that he's asked for.

The guy's either honestly convinced himself that we can get there with deep learning scaling or he's a conman. Could be both.

It's what Altman has constantly said was going to happen. Up to you to decide if he's actually in the industry or not.

The fundamental architecture of an LLM is used across all these services - and that's reaching its limits.

Heavy investments is a strong term for modest hedges around SMRs.

Tens of millions is low risk pocket change compared to the billions burned running the things constantly.

The problem is they're all playing chicken with each other.

OpenAI will never back down. The question is will Google, Microsoft or Amazon blink first

Affinity is great

My point is that it was foreseeable and it was her goal. She never wanted congestion pricing, she wanted to run on it because it was popular and then tank it in a way that won't hurt her reelection.

This is calculated.

She's moving forward with it so that Trump can block it. Then she'll say "look at me fight trump" and also "nothing we can do sorry"
