I really don't care about whatever esoteric theoretical math or biological insight this thing has supposedly cracked. Make robots work. That will impress me infinitely more.

Didn't even bother looking into it because there's obviously not enough data yet to say anything substantial about GLP-1s and Alzheimers. But your comment should probably be the top.

I also like clean safe unobstructed sidewalks and parks but along with benches, we've made a decision. We've decided that putting the mentally ill in a facility and arresting people for public drug use is not something we're comfortable with at the expense of those other things. I don't personally ageee with this decision but it is apparently the consensus.

What it looks like to me is that Carney the businessman is trying to work for the best terms in an eventual annexation scenario.

Isn't it somewhat laughable when something like 3/4 of Canadian exports are to the US?

If you type something into the computer you should assume everyone in the world will eventually be able to see it.

If you send your DNA to a company in the mail you should assume everyone in the world will eventually be able to see it.

Simulation scaling will be the most insane though. Simulating "everything" at the quantum level is impossible and the vast majority of new learning won't require anything near that. But answers to the hardest questions will require as close to it as possible so it will be tried. Millions upon millions of times. It's hard to imagine.

"Scaling" is going to eventually apply to the ability to run more and higher fidelity simulations such that AI can run experiments and gather data about the world as fast and as accurately as possible. Pre-training is mostly dead. The corresponding compute spend will be orders of magnitude higher.
