Note that Terrence Tao himself is not a member of AHM.

Nah, it will be "they are not conscious!"

The claim that they are not communicating is just plainly absurd, unless you make it true by defining "communication" in some woo fashion.

> If San Francisco residents are going around saying "I'm unhappy about OpenAI, they're making my housing cost way too much", there should be a team working on that as passionately as the team working on training the next model.

The underlying problem of housing costs is that the electorate keeps electing politicians who make house building impossible. I'm pretty sure you would cry bloody murder if OpenAI started working passionately on that problem!

> Aaronson has worked for OpenAI and probably has stock options.

IIRC he explicitly stated that he doesn't.

At this point the term "AI psychosis" is the more apt label for AI skeptics. Here we have literal Fields medalists vouching for correctness and relative importance of the result, but who cares, "I don't believe the result at all". Just pure denial of reality.

Switzerland is the closest you can get to USA without leaving Europe. Taxes in Zurich are lower than in the Bay Area, at will employment, healthcare that is primarily funded by flat fees rather than income tax, etc. Even the constitution was originally inspired by the American one.

So are you buying Roblox hand over fist? Didn't think so.

It's easy to talk big, it's hard to beat the supposedly stupid, myopic market.

A human representing the company should be physically present in the provider's office to perform such an action or what? Otherwise you would just grant your agent a way to impersonate a human.

> IIRC no fewer than 5 naval drones attacked the Moskva missile carrier at once, and successfully sank it eventually.

That's a hallucination, Moskva was by all accounts sunk by a couple of conventional anti-ship cruise missiles.

> Sorry, but maybe some people should feel shame sometimes

Yes you definitely should try that.

There is no connection between profits and dividends, some monstrously profitable companies pay little to no dividends and return money to shareholders via buybacks. The act of doing an acquisition by itself also does not affect profits.

The reason Atlassian doesn't "declare a profit" is that they are not profitable - they pay a lot with SBC, thus diluting shareholders year after year and not returning anything.

The author is the former lead developer of the Rust's LSP server, so it seems natural to have a preference for languages that would allow him to do a better job. Slow compilation (including incremental) is one of the most common complaints about Rust, despite a lot of effort spent on optimizations there. I think it would be good if more people are aware of the inherent downsides of maximizing expressiveness.

In Switzerland most people rent, in Zurich/Geneva it's more than 80% of inhabitants, doesn't help one bit. I kid you not, we have the renter association that is working tirelessly to prevent new construction.

This point is irrelevant when discussing capabilities. It's like saying that your brain is literally just a bunch of atoms following a set of physics laws. Absolutely true but not particularly helpful. Complex systems have emergent properties.
