The BEST!!

Is a synthetic hotdog default swap considered vegan in Cali?

If yes, my ESG fund is interested.

I wish this kind of perspective (international comparison) could be applied to several areas of the USA economy: tax compliance, campaign finance, and banking regulation. Good work, OP.

In Charlotte NC, I have 3 choices of internet providers, two of them fiber.

As you are doing with this post, "broaden the base." The vast majority of voters do not understand the issues here. That is your biggest obstacle.

My POV would call this regulatory failure vs free market lie. That way, the enemy is a smaller target.

Path to progress is to get a friendly state (WY, RI, TX) to pass the legislation. Then shop that around among activists in other states.

If people knew they were only getting 1/25 of a shared product, that would get political hackles up.

Thanks for taking the time to think this through and make your argument.

Yes. They bounced millions of queries off of ChatGPT to teach/form/train their DeepSeek model. This bot-like querying was the "distillation."

They definitely didn't. They demonstrated their stuff long before OAI and the models were nothing like each other.

Why would OpenAI allow someone to do that?

They don't anymore. They introduced ID verification shortly after, but it's hard to stop completely while also scaling fast.

They didn't, but how do you stop it? Presuming the scale that OpenAI is running at?

OpenAI has first mover advantage with respect to raising money but not wrt tech dominance.

Consensus theory: If AGI then superintelligence.

AI CapEx plans are not ROI based. Rather, they are the cost of "how do I remain competitive in the race to attain AGI" coupled with conveniently deep pockets. The money is being spent because the spenders can afford it and they see it as an existential risk as much as a profit opportunity.

Maybe OP's conclusion about the headline question blunts some political opposition to data centers, but that's not the salient issue.

The issue is this: America is betting a meaningful chunk of GDP that AGI is possible. This is The Manhattan Project 2.0.

LOL. Have not seen the "nixta" word since 10 years ago when i was researching how to make grits.

Arthur Anderson, The accounting firm, got the death penalty in the Enron debacle.

Hope this doesn't set any kind of legal precedent.

I'm not sure legal precedent is much of a concern for this administration.

Do you really think laws still matter? Thats an honest question, not rhetorical.

We've seen over and over that laws are applied selectively to reward the in group and punish the out group.

LOL

The exposed portion of the berg is roughly spherical. The submerged portion must be enormous and approximately symmetrical to hold that sphere in such an upright position.

So the tip of the iceberg is just the tip of the iceberg

Indeed, that tautology is a true statement.

With just one photo we can’t really say if the exposed portion is roughly spherical. However, the guy taking the photo who presumably got a better look seems to think it was “diamond shape.”
