My totally unscientific prediction is that this Lumina bacteria will colonize about half the global population, and then we will find out that the original bacteria provided some essential enzyme humans need to stay healthy. And this giant, involuntary global experiment will go…

After the next market pullback, time to go long data centers and small modular reactors.

So if most of Nvidia GPU performance gains have been due to software not hardware improvements + AI coding is improving quickly-> how long until coding AIs will 1000x GPU performance by rearchitecting Blackwell? Maybe we won’t need all that compute after all.
What it P doom is actually low because we build AIs that are benevolent and helpful to humanity, and they smack down any malevolent AIs created by malicious actors? This scenario is just as plausible as the doomer visions. Maybe more so if you’ve talked with Claude 3.
Feel kinda bad for Ray Kurzweil. When you spoil the ending for yourself a generation in advance, you're stuck twiddling your thumbs and checking your watch for decades.
What if consciousness is simply the ability to time shift cognition and predict the future, from the next moment to years from now? Plausible. And it would imply that generative AI tools that "just" predict the next word, next image, next movement, next feeling could be more…
I hate regulation but …. hear me out on this one. The US *must* make it illegal to show those stupid cookie popups all over the web. We can’t allow the EU to export its stupid paternalistic pollution to us here in the land of freedom.
Claude 3 is really amazing. Are there more than a dozen humans who could have given a better answer? infoproc.blogspot.com/2017/09/phase-…

"bigger compute budgets, more compute/$, and more effective compute via better algorithms" We're on pace for a "$1T training run" in the 2029-2033 range, requiring ~10^17 data points* Welcome to the steep part of the S-curve! * of course, data is not all created equal!
Is anyone interested in forming a third space in SF explicitly focused around deep tech, sci Fi, transhumanism and futurism? It could be a membership type club to cover overhead and act as convening space for events and gatherings Hybridize with maker space / lab
