But even the sadist scum cannot be easily kept from switching sides at some point for some reason. Much easier to control just one central "system prompt".

I guess authorities would not appreciate cars requiring only switching off of a cooling system to turn them in a very, very capable bomb. They tend to be more tolerant to such in rockets.

Therefore it may be good that N6 does not need to get in contact with air to detonate, and does not need to "burn" (oxidize) to set free its energy.

True, but rockets being filled with stuff that needs cooling to very low temperatures in order to not make the rocket go kaboom in a second are not quite seldom, when you think of the ones that require liquid oxygen or hydrogen.

The author of that blog has already commented on N6.

The author of the article you linked has already commented on N6.

Given the high detonation speed of N6 I would consider it conceivable that almost all of the N6 decomposes into N2 and expands into a not-so-hot-anymore gas before it has a chance to get into contact with the O2 of the surrounding air. But we certainly need to wait for the results of the planned detonation tests before we can really know.

Why not both? A good salesman will be able to provide the same value whilst charging more. Probably one of the jobs that you'd find companies don't hand over to AI.

Do you really think "AI"s can tell you about a substance that has never been synthesized before?

I am somewhat skeptical about the proposed use cases, too. But at least some chemists appear really exited about the results.

... will be the first to show the reaction to their audience? Maybe our explosives addict from Australia? Or the Canadian guy with the many expensive toys?

Whether you are presiding an authoritative regime in the east or some billionaire's oligarchy in the west, LLMs are welcome, because using them, you only need to adjust one system prompt according to your wishes, instead of brain-washing thousands of civil servants to follow your rule. And this will only get "better" when robots become competent enough to replace police and armed forces, which today may still have residues of an individual moral compass.

No, I don't need to give you apologies for my correct analysis of your behavior. If you go and shit in the middle of the street I judge you. If you go and hand over other people's data to the big corporates I judge you. No problem here. I'm not putting everyone else down, just those people that choose to do evil. Especially those people that do it so thoughtlessly that they probably aren't even aware of having done it.

It's not enough. The value of electricity is extremely variable based on both location, time and the extent to which it fits with previous plans for electricity. The price that they pay will vary depending on time but if they are coming in with new, unpredicted, demand then the cost of satisfying it becomes even higher and they should be paying even more per unit than the other people that are more or less following what was predicted.

On the other hand, if the AI people can move their demand to places and times with spare electricity, for example the North of Scotland when it's windy, that would mean they could quite rightly get very cheap electricity and not really cause any problem for anyone.
