Is that >50% number production capacity or actual GWh produced?

If the former, we may see China's coal consumption fall off a cliff, since the marginal cost of renewables is approximately zero. If so, it'll appear that the coal plants were overbuilt.

Not the person you are replying to. I guess they feel somewhat humiliated. There can sometimes be a fine line between scientific curiosity and the appearance of bullying. Common courtesy suggests we should back off whenever we feel that might be applicable.

propaganda?

>> At least for the foreseeable future you still would like people to become interested and develop skills in these fields. These developments, and especially how they are presented, directly discourage that.

This assumption may well turn out to be correct, but it is not self-evident.

Nearly everyone who has ever got interested in mathematics got discouraged at some point and they left the field. Mathematics is very hard. Those very few that remained certainly have talent, but they also have characteristics that are necessary for success in a competitive field, which are perhaps less valuable per se. Such characteristics as may be over-represented in males for instance. This is not a point about gender differences, but about the intrinsic merit of different success factors.

It seems equally possible that the above assumption will turn out to be diametrically incorrect. People that would have been discouraged before LLMs will now retain their curiosity longer. Democratisation is surely a possible outcome.

Arguably, chess has never been as popular and accessible. And that discipline fell to AI three decades ago.

Could it be that relatively few quartz arrowheads were made, but that disproportionately many of them survived to have been subsequently discovered? Survivorship bias.

You can both be right. I live in a high trust society (Japan), but was raised elsewhere. When I first came here, there were times I had to suppress my instinct to take opportunistic advantage. That was intrinsic motivation.

Later, I had adapted to the culture around me. Such instincts rarely arise as it had become extrinsic.

>> only to replace it with Russian oil

with Russian gas.

Yosh would always be an abbreviation in Japanese. And only done for foreigners, not for other Japanese.

Yoshihiro or Yoshiyuki would likely be called Yoshi by their friends.

Couple of expressions from pre-AI culture: "RTFM", "Google is your friend". These were well-used because they are directed, pithy, abrasive.

(n)amow(?): (not) All my own work ?

Are you arguing that USA can no longer build parking lots due to environmental concerns? If so, that would indeed be remarkable since parking lots seem to be the facility that almost every US town has been able to build more than enough of.

Such languages can be amenable to LLM generation, reducing barriers to entry.

AI are not real people. Obviously. Just look at the first line to see the intended line of argument.

It's not about which people per se, but how many, in aggregate.

I don't know what to say. I have tried to point it out more than once. I agree with EU's approach to earbud access, but am also sympathetic to Apple wrt to ROI on its LLM.

Perhaps the issue you seem to be having is that there's nuance in a position which tries to see an issue from both sides. Whatever is the problem with your comprehension, I advise you to reflect on the fact that others in this thread seem to get it and some have raised valid counterpoints or added relevant information.

I didn't know this. Then I agree with you.

You seem to be claiming that LLM is necessarily integral to iPhone. I am suggesting that need not be the case.

Remember, half of the consideration here is to find a way for Apple to recoup it's investment in LLM. Without creating anti-competitive forces in another market. If you have a different suggestion, or if you think Apple doesn't deserve compensation, make your case.
