I am mocking OpenAI for creating an arbitrary definition of AGI that just so happens to suit their product. I would call that intellectual dishonesty.

> Keyword is autonomous [0]. Excel isn't.

No, I didn't forget it. Just as OpenAI made up a definition to support their claim of AGI, so did I.

I suppose we would just treat it the same way we currently treat farm animals.

> OpenAI defines [AGI] as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work."

Well in that case: Excel reached AGI decades ago. It outperforms humans at the single most economically valuable task in the world: adding up numbers in a spreadsheet. Congratulations, Microsoft :)

However, I am not sure why European mass surveillance and imperialism are supposed to be any better than those of any other country. Somehow that never gets answered on sites like that.

Sure, but it still has the 90% of issues caused by ICE cars.

Why not? A lot of streets often seem busy simply due to the incredible space inefficiency of cars. What I like to do sometimes, when I wait at a traffic light with my bicycle, is to count the actual number of cars that cross during a phase. The amount feels large, but when you count, it's often not more than the amount of cyclists that cross in the next phase, and they take up just a tiny fraction of what cars need.

The street isn't the problem. Cars and trucks are. If those streets were filled with people walking, cycling, etc., the health penalty of living next to one would vanish overnight.

Dario, you could ask Claude about 'Entfremdung' and what a guy called Marx said about it nearly 200 years ago. :)

> So you think the bond market is not important to the USA government?

Not w.r.t. to "financing" the US.

> Yes? So you acknowledge that the market has a capacity?

Yes, of course.

> This is a fantasy.

How so.

> Do you really think lenders

A government with its own sovereign currency doesn't need lenders. In fact, it is the government that allows lenders to lend money - not the other way around.

> Anyways, here's a new loan at the same terms as last time." ?

Why would they need to get a loan for from a lender?

> How do you think Americans would respond to 30% monthly inflation like in Argentina or Turkey?

Do you think that printing money automatically causes inflation? How does that work? Do people have some kind of magical device, or is it a physical phenomenon that can be measured? Of course not. Printing money only causes inflation if it is spend in a way exceeds the capacity of the market.

Bingo! Any country borrowing in its own sovereign currency cannot default on debt in that currency, unless it actively decides to do so for political reasons.

$1,000? According to ccusage, I used around 3,200 USD worth of API credits last month, but I'm on a plan that only costs around 100 USD per month, and I'm not even a heavy user. At the end of each week, I have typically used about a third of my weekly Claude limit. So either their APIs are heavily overpriced, which seems rather unlikely, or they subsidise subscriptions to the tune of 100x or even more.

Well, I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Might as well just use uuidv7

> In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year.

126 trillion USD * 0.00000000001 = 1260USD

I'm pretty sure the impact was higher than that ;)
