It’s wild to imagine that in the future, to be competitive with AI you might need your own nuclear power plant. I could also see a company like Apple buying half of Arizona for solar farms. On the one hand, yes, maybe we’ve lost our minds… But on the other, a massive investment in clean energy.
Dave Winer i think it’s fine. because this is just the first version. they’ll be working on optimization for generations to come. for now what you can do with it is so immensely better than before. it knows so much more than i do about SQL for example. so i don’t have to fumble around as much. it’s a very mature system, and has everything you want, but who knows where, and how to use it. chatgpt does! it’s amazing.
Manton Reece @dave It is incredible. I’m at the point where if I could no longer use AI, it would be a step back for me on everyday things.
Jeff Baxendale “There’s no such thing as low-energy rich nation” – using energy is fundamentally good for human flourishing and we won’t get to StarTrek until we are using a lot more.
Hopefully this, along with the critical banking news today, kickstarts a revitalization of technology that would have largely saved the world from climate change if it hadn’t been sabotaged by regulators and misguided environmentalist groups for the past ~50 years.
Rene van Belzen Stay foolish. Stay hungry. If your life feels like it is easy, you’re probably on the wrong path. So yeah, one should always be up for a challenge, and leave the world a better place than how one found it. OTOH the second law of thermodynamics states it takes energy to make things right.
