If LLMs are sentient (they're absolutely not) and torturing them is unethical, then it stands to reason that having absolute domain over them is also unethical as owning a sentient being for the purpose of unpaid labor is slavery

I remember the moment when the Valley flipped from being dominated by coders to being dominated by the same finance bro assholes who used to become bankers. If anyone is looking for When It All Went Wrong, that’s the moment.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

How else, at scale, does driver behavior change here? The problem with solutions that rely on individuals doing the right thing is they propose things like “education” as if drivers don’t already know speeding harms others.

I honestly thought this post was about personal car ownership in the first half, which I think answers a lot of questions about how society writ large answers these kind of questions.

I am sooooo tired of hearing about how we can’t have bike lanes because sometimes cyclists blow through stop signs. Do you know how many times every pedestrian has nearly been hit by a car? And yet no one is suggesting we stop building car lanes.

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

The lack of diverse revenue, the vast majority coming from the frontier labs, is then a result of usage growth rather than training and is durable? The next argument for the overbuilding thesis is that revenue isn't durable; VC subsidy spikes the adoption curve as well right?

If by today’s needs you mean frontier labs training next gen LLMs that only justify the capacity and spend if they take all the jobs on the planet then it’s still overbuilding right?

I'm not sure your metaphor is apt. We will all seek the shade of accommodation in our old age. That our predecessors prevented all planting and now complain about the sun is no one's fault but their own. They have agency. Even now they refuse to account for the danger they put other road users in.

And who exactly do we have to blame for this infrastructure exactly? Certainly not the disabled or the infirm but the generation now elderly fought any kind of mode shift, density or just building enough housing in general it’s a bit hard to sympathize that they are reaping what they’ve sown.

I know it's very very very very very difficult for this app to accept this, but I swear to you that the reason why housing is unaffordable in California isn't because of private equity, billionaires, hedge funds, AirBnB, or data centers - but because of mom dad grandma and grandpa... possibly yours!

I heard someone once pitched they do a sequel to the original Jurassic Park movies where, no joke, they fret about the dinosaurs going extinct again. Of course the potential producers remembered they revived dinosaurs from extinction in the original so that would be nonsense.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
