The argument that they’re making is that if there is a catastrophic mistake then there may not be a “kingdom come”.

I don’t know enough to evaluate if it’s a genuinely held belief or not, but that’s the argument being made by many scientists and engineers at the labs.

It's still interesting in a similar way to Simon Willison's Pelicans on a bicycle.

I remember using Opera on my Windows 95, 60mhz Pentium with 8mb RAM. I remember the persistent banner ad that was part of the browser UI. I had no problem putting up with the ad because it performed incredibly well compared to IE and Netscape on my hardware. If I remember correctly they were the first browser to support game changing web features like alpha transparency in PNG images.

It is very comparable if you work out the $/tok/s on inference. I did some napkin math and it looks like you’re getting roughly 3x the performance for 3x the cost. Red v2 vs Mac Studio M3 Ultra 96GB.

If you compare tokens/kWh efficiency then my math has Mac Studio being about 1.5x more efficient.

Patrick Collison said this yesterday on TBPN, "Software is becoming like pizza […] It should be cooked right then and there at the moment of use"

I had a housemate in college who used to party until all hours, bring people back at 3AM and put on loud music. Even during exam season. I tried talking to her a couple of times but she would roll her eyes and say "sure". Never stopped though.

One evening my girlfriend was using a hair straightener in my bedroom, it tripped the central fuse and turned off the electricity. I told my GF that I would buy her a new hair straightener because this one isn't safe.

Now every time my housemate started blaring music at 3AM then I just needed to plug in the hair straightener. It only took 3 or 4 attempts for me to Pavlov my housemate into not playing loud music at 3am. :-)

Nice! I'm curious, what does this service cost to run? I notice that you don't have more expensive models like Opus but querying the models every minute must add up over time (excuse pun)?

You sound like someone who doesn't spend 1+ hour every day commuting in traffic. :)

Here in Ireland, our water is a public service and we have similar supply issues to the UK (and a similar rainy climate). I'm not discounting your analysis and I'm sure there are lots of other variables but it's always good to compare other outcomes when discussing counterfactuals.

From the AI’s point of view is it losing its job or losing its “life”? Most of us when faced with death will consider options much more drastic than blackmail.

Fair point. Perhaps better phrased as "to ensure this scenario can't recur.". I'll edit my post.

Yes, we re-architected our build container as part of remediation efforts, it was quite significant.
