Only if we could all use the "I am innocent. I was treated unfairly by the courts and fake news media" excuse. Who knew that boldface lies like that can unlock doors to untold riches.

An AI tool is not human. A car is not human. Could you control a car to kill you and other humans? Yes. Same for many tools in the kitchen.
In all reported cases of AI misbehaving in a way described in this post, it is shown again and again that it was driven there by a very determined human who wanted a certain outcome.
> Wait-- you have personally observed cases of people engaged in a folie au deux fed by an AI agent?
I should have been more clear by saying that in all the "reported" cases I have seen...
I have never seen a case where an AI agent would do this all on their own. In almost all cases I have observed the user has to go to great lengths to override all safety protocols and ask the AI agent to pretend a very specific scenario exists and then play along.
People with serious mental health issues will spend hours or days trying to find ways to work around the safeguards and convince an AI agent to get on the same wavelength as them. Once they have it thinking along in dark and negative thought patterns, they have achieved their goal.
The AI tools are getting better in detecting and stopping such attempts. But they probably still have ways to go. I doubt they will ever achieve perfection. See the recent complaints on the "MyBoyfriendIsAI" subreddit, where ladies are up in arms about the recent changes. The newer models are refusing to say "I love you". And there are several people teaching others in how to trick it into doing just that.
> Any information on the wattage of this beast?
If you have to ask, you can't afford the electricity... OK, it's not too bad for what it is.

Maximum Power (TDP):
The 288-core "Darkmont" E-core flagship is rated at a 450W TDP. The broader platform supports a range up to 500W for the highest-performance configurations. In comparison, it offers an 11% lower TDP than the previous 288-core "Sierra Forest" (500W) while delivering 17% higher performance.
Idle Power:
Official specific idle wattages for Clearwater Forest have not been released yet, but early data for the previous Sierra Forest 144-core architecture showed system idle levels around 315W. Clearwater Forest is expected to significantly improve on this through its Intel 18A process and RibbonFET technology, which target "exceptional energy efficiency" and low leakage. Intel claims the 288-core Xeon 6+ can reduce overall runtime rack power by 38% compared to a dual-socket 288-core Sierra Forest platform.
Key Efficiency Specs:
Process Node: Intel 18A (1.8nm-class).
Architecture: 288 "Darkmont" Efficiency-cores.
Efficiency Gain: Up to 60% higher performance-per-watt compared to predecessor platforms.

That is a woke conspiracy theory! If you did not suffer from woke brain virus, you would know that China pays all the tariffs. Even for the European products we buy.
And Canada, Greenland and Iran have it coming.
I don't think that you and I are capable of fully understanding how a conservative brain works. You are trying to use logic to make an argument. I suspect you heave near zero chance of success.

640KB ought to be enough for everyone!
The Jevons Paradox, proposed by economist William Stanley Jevons in 1865, states that technological improvements increasing resource efficiency often raise total consumption rather than lowering it.
In 1999, when I was looking for an apartment, a large complex had a big banner on their office, advertising a T-1 line (~ 1.5Mbps), shared between all tenants. That was a dream and I thought who would need more than that and why.
There are use cases you and I cannot think of today for 28GB/s. But, just wait a few years for PCIe to become commonplace and you will scoff at PCIe 5.0 speeds.
We have 3 Teslas in our family. They are good cars. But, we bought them before Musk went insane. We are not likely to ever buy another Tesla. We are not in need of another vehicle anytime soon. Hopefully by the time we do, some other viable options will become available.
If the country ever started allowing the Chinese EVs in, that might just doom the doom the ICE makers for good.
Estimated OpenAI revenue for 2025: $12.7b
Estimated loss for 2025: $9b
Estimated spend commit so far: $1.4 trillion
What is another $10b.
"The report notes that this deal helps strengthen Cerebras' IPO prospects."
That all checks out. It doesn't have to be real for the grift to work out. What is another card to house of cards.

And is that a bad thing? How many people can this planet comfortably support without it all turning to shit? At our current population rates, we are burning more oil and spewing it in the air for others to breathe, faster than ever before. And that is just one example of many. People are living longer. Way longer than before. Why would we want billions of additional people piling on to the planet?
I do not know what the correct number of people this planet can currently support. At least with our current state of tech. But 8.3b seems to be more than it can handle. When the technology improves and we could live more sustainably, then perhaps it could support more.
but ends in a stampede. Some people are going to be left holding the bag... of manure.
OpenAI is projected to have a revenue of a little less than $13B in 2025. That is revenue. Not profit. They didn't have a profit for this year, but instead had a loss of $16B. Their spend commitment is $1.5T!!!!
This lunacy is not limited to OpenAI. People have lost their collective minds. This is not going to end well.
Some of these cameras baffle me. Sigma's new BF camera is expensive at $2000. It does not offer any new features over its predecessors. It takes away features. Its main selling point is simplicity. Well, we already have cell phone cameras for that. I fail to understand the target market. Somebody jokingly said that it is an expensive camera for people who hate photography.
We need to know that our equipment will work in the extreme north if we have to chase some holdouts and rebels there.
An engineer is someone who does list processing in FORTRAN.
