Every country that has a problem with starvation has huge population growth.

They have at least 2.5% population growth yearly which translates to doubling population in 28 years, while some have as high as 4.5% which means they double every 15-16 years.

If a population has a food problem, why does it double every 15 years?


Let’s say the model is indeed groundbreaking but needs much more compute that they have, I wonder would merging Anthropic and OpenAI be on the table.

It depends. If Mythos is AGI then OpenAI's charter says they have to merge with the winner.

And I have a bridge to sell you...

There is obviously tons of leeway it who gets to say what is "AGI", and so far it seems like OpenAI's charter isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I still find it funny that Altman and Amodei couldn't even bring themselves to hold hands at that AI summit, https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r8ua2j/sam_altma... , so I'm getting a chuckle at the thought that Altman would be like "Whelp, close er up, boys, Amodei won, so time to merge..."


On the efficiency side, why do we need 10 companies doing the same thing. "Don't Repeat Yourself" principle would agree with your proposal.

There is 0 evidence that many people died.

Let’s not parrot that media propaganda.


There's plenty of evidence that it's tens of thousands, but it's absurd to even argue over those numbers when a government massacring any number of its own citizens is morally reprehensible (whether it's 5k or 50k). Iran has a long history of executing its own citizens en masse.

Iran has admitted outright to 6k deaths, by the way.


I was thinking about this, if the deaths were actually at the scale of 10's of thousands, would that not be visible from space?

The US must have several dozen spy satellites pointed at Iran. We get various imagery to show us successful strikes. Where are the images of the mass slaughter in the street?

The number I keep seeing is 30k killed. That's not an easy endeavor over the course of a week without big logistical hurdles. The trucks, the digging equipment, the furnaces to burn the bodies, all should have some visible trace that the US gov could point to as proof.

Yet all we got is a "trust me bro".


We have many videos of protests in Iran even though they shut down internet, but somehow we have no videos of mass killings.

WMD all over again.


Like I did see a handful of videos with body bags lining the street, but it couldn't have been more than 1-2 dozen. I've seen videos and satellite images of actual mass graves in gaza, fields full of bodies covered in sheets. Endless videos of toddlers with amputated limbs.

your assumption being the thugs mugging these protesters take care of the dead bodies, which I doubt

piles of bodies on the street would also be visible.

Is there 0 evidence that it happened?

or just arguing over 20K,30K,50k?

Just want to clarify. Since some people argue Covid never happened, and some just argue the total deaths wasn't really that high.

There is a sliding scale between "I sound like a raving crazy person", and "i'm just splitting hairs."


We have many videos of protests in Iran even though they shut down internet, but somehow we have no videos of mass killings or even small scale murders.

Wouldn't they shut down the Internet for me but not for thee?

So, are you guys saying, that the mass killings of protestors, did NOT happen?

This is all just made up?


Not sure why you are asking me about it. The point of my comment is that Iran will allow streaming what they'd want people to see.

I guess the parent was saying since there is no evidence, then it didn't happen. Almost sounding like a conspiracy, like the 30k death are fake. And you are simply saying, the Iranian Gov is blocking the information, that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

We have not been shown any evidence that shows anything approaching this scale of people dead, we have not been told on what basis that specific number of deaths was determined and we have not been told why that supposed evidence can not be made public. 30 thousand killed in the span of two days would make this one of the bloodiest massacres in history. I don't see how that would not result in at least a single photo or satellite image of a street lined with dead bodies, of mass executions, of mass graves or simply just the logistics operation required to dispose of this many bodies. The only thing to back up this number is trusting the probably least trustworthy US administration in history.

Yeah. Guess that is good point.

During Covid, there were satellite pictures of mass graves. There is a certain amount of logistics with moving a lot of dead bodies, that is hard to hide.


Yet we live in a very violent world, some people are definitely ok with it.

Or I missed a hint and you’re dehumanizing them?


Can’t believe your comment is being downvoted.

Covid clearly showed how crisis can only benefit the rich and powerful.

AI being used to cut the headcount can somehow be, good? It will just fill the pockets of the powerful.


Maybe because people got used to violence being used against them?

All this violence against the innocent in various places and levels, and you think it’s weird that people are fine with violence used against a billionaire conman?


There is also one big thing, Europe even though it tries with the EU, is still a group of countries, not a single country.

It’s a lot easier for a business in one US state to expand to another one, but cross border business expansion in EU is still difficult.

People speak different languages, bureaucracy is different and often in a different language as well etc.

On top of that businesses are a lot more regulated than in the US.


You know we have cheaper and faster model that are now at the level of previous flagship models?

You even have models you can run locally that outperform models from a year or so ago.


They conveniently placed one person from Hamas to each house in Gaza. Right?


It’s well known that US doesn’t commit war crimes, they just make mistakes.
