Comment Re: Where does all this money come from? (Score 1) 18

OpenAI has $12bn annual revenue, about 3% that of Apple, about $3million per employees per year (compared to $2 million per employee per year at Apple).

I think OpenAI has a huge amount of growth potential even just from predictable growth over the next several years, even if steep changes towards AGI don't come.

All good in theory, except that you likely need something like a 200" TV so actually tell the difference between 8k and 16k.

Like I said, I figured 8k would be enough resolution for soccer. As for 16k, I imagine that something with bandwidth for 16k would translate that bandwidth into twice the frequency for 8k, which would be ideal for soccer.

[Lawrence of Arabia] Let me guess, you are watching these classics at 1080p, or at best 4k.

I watched Lawrence of Arabia on a Cinerama screen. It was breathtaking. I expect that the higher resolutions described here will help more places (like movie theaters) display higher quality prints. I suspect they'll open up new avenues like fake windows or full-wall screens in residences.

Do you watch soccer? 4k resolution means a player's head is about 14 pixels high, not enough to make out much beyond a blob of color; their jersey is 60 pixels high, enough to make out the number but not much more. Doubling the vertical resolution (i.e. going to 8k) would likely be enough to let you make out similar detail to what you'd see in real life. (Frame rate is another issue: HDMI 2.0 allows 4k at 60hz which is too slow when panning in a soccer game; HDMI 2.1 allows 4k at 120hz which is probably enough). I think that 16k is probably the right bandwidth to get soccer looking good.

Do you do VR? 4k per eye isn't good enough for VR yet. It's possible that 16k will be, but we might still need more.

Do you watch the gorgeous film classics like Lawrence of Arabia? One of the (many) things that make it look great is that it was shot on 65mm, equivalent to about 12k resolution.

Accenture digital marketing business is one of the biggest digital marketing providers in the world. Intel is in an aggressive cost out transformation so if they are going with a premium rate card service provider like Accenture, that tells me their existing cost base is insanely bloated or low quality.

US has shifted its production from domestic shores to Chinese shores. CO2 generated from American consumption of Chinese goods needs to be reallocated to America to understand who and what is driving CO2 in aggregate. If America were to reshore all Chinese production with our current infrastructure, CO2 would go through the roof because of our inefficient infrastructure

Comment Insulation (Score 3, Informative) 79

Indian homes are not usually insulated well or at all and are typically very exposed to elements in key areas with sub par windows and doors. This is why homes quickly heat up again after switching off the AC. Leakage is real. Not just true for Indian but for so many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, America.

Insulate like you live in Scotland, then no problems

It's easy to regulate AI art the state level.

"Any job offer for a job based in California must adhere to the following AI disclosure".

"Any mortgage offered in a Californian property must satisfy the following AI disclosure"

etc.

AI regulation need not be about regulating AI innovation; it's enough merely to make sure it's applied fairly. And almost all real-world applications are indeed local.

Comment Re:No work agreement with MS? How could he? (Score 3, Informative) 37

Does MS not have such agreements in place?

I used to work at Microsoft. My employment contract specifically called out a load of personal pre-existing projects, plus ongoing and future ones, and stipulated that MS would have no ownership nor claim. I did ask for these callouts, but they were happy to go along.

Comment If you had 200 interns (Score 1) 56

I'm a software developer. Part of AI is like if I had 200 interns working for me -- some of them smarter than me and already more knowledgeable about some areas, some of them not, none of them familiar with my team's codebase. There are real cases where I could get those 200 interns to do real useful work and would want to! e.g. if I create a very detailed playbook of how to make certain code improvements, ones that wouldn't be worth my time to do myself one-by-one, but if I had 200 interns and an automated way to verify that they did a good job, then sure!

The article says "manage a team of AI agents". Managing in this sense isn't like managing a human; it's like writing a shell-script to manage some bulk process.
