Can you imagine the possibility that by talking about quantum computers we might inspire some young genius to pursue an idea and accelerate the progress? Whereas if we downplay it as you do, it establishes a mood of pessimism that psychologically makes potential researchers give up before even starting?

What does Scott Aaronson have to say about how this is all nothing to see here, move along?

Hasn't this been happening forever, before LLMs?

"Oh, I got three emails this week alone with people being like, 'Hey, is this legit?'" Because they thought they'd solved something with ChatGPT or with Claude, and they also don't have the mathematical skills to check whether they've actually solved something.

So would it be better for those inquirers to remain wallowing in their ignorance rather than have AI try to help them?

"A sizable portion of the population wants to do the exact opposite of every sensible behavior just for gratuitous contrarianism disguised as "freedom!""

Did you just say freedom is not sensible?

Is air conditioning part of the climate-change-causing problem?

"the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable"

Don't the sycophantilists continually dismiss AI as just telling you what you want to hear? If Trump wants to hear a problem is solvable, do his sycophants push back like AI did?

Should we all rush to legislate social media and phone bans, treating everyone as if they were the worst stories you've heard from the squeakiest wheels?

"the motion tracking feature is OPT-IN."

BWAHAHAHAHA this stupid motherfucker believes Comcast!

Time for the nursing home old man.

Isn't the real shortage money? If you'd bought memory stocks a year ago, would you have more than enough money to buy the RAM you wanted now?

Copilot:

RAM prices rose 500%

memoryâ'producer stocks rose 500â"3,800%

the equity gains would have offset the consumerâ'side price spike

Copilot:

Did memoryâ'chip stocks hedge the 500% RAM price spike?

Yes. The major memory stocks rose hundreds of percent over the same period:

Micron (MU): +718.9% in one year

SanDisk (SNDK): +3,825% in one year

Seagate (STX): +526.8% in one year

Western Digital (WDC): +602.6% in one year

Meanwhile, DDR5 RAM kits rose ~500% yearâ'overâ'year.

So yes: memoryâ'stock returns exceeded or matched the RAM price spike, meaning they would have hedged the cost increase.

We now have a NUMBER for the value of these data breaches. Time for the Lawyers to use this metric to go after every single data breach.

"Something which does not enter your body cannot be addictive."

Yet men are addicted to sex quite often, yet nothing enters their body (unless they're gay.)

Moron.

How about that 1.6M against an old lady because her kid downloaded music online? Was that reasonable? Fuck no it was not.

So shut the fuck up, judge, and deal with it.

We already knew Thomas was deep in the hands of telecoms - this shows how deep.
