He needs to embrace the zen of just looking busy and slightly annoyed when his own manager comes by.

I wish it was that simple, they're not even the right kinds of datacenters for that. It'd be like building the world's largest collection of Ferraris to haul freight containers.

There's freely downloadable Chinese models you can run on a gaming computer that measurably wipe the floor with every frontier model they were boasting about this time last year.

There's also the emerging third angle that EVEN IF you believe the hype, and EVEN IF you don't think it's an existential threat, the entire R&D intertia of the industry is towards much smaller models that simply won't need these massive datacenters.

No I know about that, they're different sources of randomness feeding into what is still ultimately just software on a Turing machine. So like what do you think makes an LLM different from any other piece of software running on a Turing machine?

Amy @capriyeee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
LLMs are deterministic with a temperature of zero. Would a Turing machine be sentient if we plug in random numbers somewhere? Because there's plenty software that does that.

Amy @capriyeee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
If you're stretching the definition of that self-awareness that far, can you explain to me why an LLM is different from any other Turing machine?

I dunno man. Like logically I follow the arguments you're making, but this feels like the same kind of "people will realise any day now" that I've seen in the Linux community for over a decade. Everyone talks a big game about consumer choices until there's the slightest inconvenience abiding them.

I think it just shows our system is as bad at allocating people as it is resources. It's the inverse of the bit about how many Einsteins have wasted away in cotton fields and sweatshops, how many of these VPs could have had better lives with less money doing something they actually enjoy?

Even in the Netherlands it's not super common. Like the bricks are common in suburban areas, but the second it's asphalt yeah do the same shit. There's a bike path near me they dug up to run new steet lights to a motorway, feeld like I get a concussion cycling over those bumps.

I think it's worth demystifying that sentence to "if we ignore normal accounting rules, we made a profit". Like okay, what if you don't.

As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all - it's a service *denial* system. 32/

So what? I don't mean that flippantly, say everything you're saying is true, what then? Is China doing something bad? Are other countries doing something good we're not acknowledging? I'm looking at China trailblazing the future of solar, and I don't see what practical changes you're suggesting.

It's hard to express as a brit just how much brexit has foreclosed on people's lifetime opportunities. Prior to Brexit I could move anywhere in Europe with barely more fuss than Americans can move between states, and then overnight, for absolutely no reason, that possibility was over.

Last week I presented my research on what the trans+ community wanted doctors to learn at #ASME2026 c/o @asmeofficial.bsky.social Went down really well, plus I got this great picture where I'm explaining the art was created by @happytoast.co.uk and not AI, and maybe more importantly, who the cat is
Lisa standing in front of a TV that has a slide that says thank you and has her contact details on it.  It also includes a drawing of her holding a grey cat in one arm and waving a trans flag with her free hand.  Lisa is gesturing towards this with a very big smile on her face.  She is wearing a floral purple and green dress that fades to black at the bottom, and a lanyard with her conference ID.
