He would be serving time.

Why hasn't Sam Altman been arrested yet?
Why is OpenAI allowed to continue to operate?
Clearly it's a criminal organization.

Honestly... Since when reshuffling in a company's upper management is of any interest to anybody other than the people working for that individual at that company?

What next? They're gonna replace Bob at accounting because he didn't use AI to format his Excel sheets?

Kindles and the Kindle app also allow changing font size, a real benefit as my eyes age. I bought a 1200 page book recently. The main font was just readable with a bright light. The 200 pages of footnotes were illegible. I bought the eBook version and breezed through it. Kindles might be able to change fonts, I don't know and never had reason to try before. I do miss flipping pages for something I read 10 pages back, but search more than makes up for that.

My Oasis batteries (Kindle and cover) gave up the ghost a year ago, and I can't stand the replacement without buttons. I switched to a TCL 11 NXTPAPER tablet and use the Kindle app. The screen has zero glare, zero reflections. It's not readable in bright sunlight, and the table is slow, but the price ($300) is about the same as a good Kindle but I can scroll books instead of flipping pages, and it runs regular Android apps. I gave my two Kindles (Scribe, Paperwhite?) away a week ago; hadn't used them in a couple of years. I probably would have kept using them if they'd had physical page turn buttons.

Gotta admit, it was pretty funny when Obama bought a multi-million dollar mansion on the coast just three feet above seal level.

If climate catastrophe is not a hoax, why have all their predictions failed? Polar bears and penguins haven't died out. Arctic summer sea ice is just as plentiful as always. There's still snow in the Alps and Mt Kilimanjaro. New York City and Florida are not drowning.

Why do the catastrophists like Al Gore continue lying and not admit their predictions were poppycock?

If the Greens actually believed we were going to reach a tipping point into a Venus-style future in the next 10 years from fossil fuels, they'd be moving heaven and earth to get nuclear power going. The minuscule danger from nuclear power pales in comparison to human extinction.

The only reasonable conclusion is that they don't believe their own propaganda. They don't eat their own dog food.

Corals have survived for several hundred million years. They survived the comet that killed the dinosaurs. They survived the 400-500 foot sea level rise from 10-15,000 years ago. 12 inches for this short a time won't affect them in the least.

You left off the part where the government ordered them to sell mortgages to people couldn't afford them. Bankers are not stupid. They know who runs the joint.

Sorry about that!

Light bulbs are very small things; the energy that goes into making them is likewise very small, regardless of type. The electricity an incandescent bulb burns is, by contrast, not at all small. You also have to replace the incandescent bulb far more often.

There's all sorts of exhaustive analyses out there, but the TL/DR is:

One incandescent bulb takes ~1-1,5kWh to manufacture and lasts ~1000 hours
One LED bulb takes 8-20kWh to manufacture and lasts ~25000 hours (commonly modern home construction doesn't even use lightbulb sockets anymore; the fixtures are designed to not need "bulb replacements")

So even on manufacturing, the LED bulb wins because it's up against 25 incandescent bulbs. But that's all trivial, because:

60W × 25000h = 1500 kWh
9W * 25000h = 225kWh

So a few extra or fewer kilowatt hours in manufacturing is irrelevant. It's totally dominated by usage energy.

Incandescent only wins one category: disposal (it's just glass and a little metal, you can just throw it in the trash; LED is e-waste and gets recycled). But in both cases, you're talking tenths of a percent of lifetime energy usage.

Lol, a company dominated by Rationalists/Yudowski fans is "far left activists" now ;) The entire premise of HPOMR is that Lily Potter cast a spell to make her sister Petunia more attractive so she could marry a better husband, and when they adopted Harry, instead of having him attend public school, they homeschooled him, so he became brilliant. Very "woke" premise there ;) I don't know if you've heard, but the Rationalist community is the middle of a scandal right now for putting career-limiting pressure on women in the AI space to attend sex parties, including rape-themed ones. All those dang woke feminists, amiright?

It's more like someone standing on public ground outside movie theatre holding up signs like, "Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time!" ""Verbal" Kint makes up his whole testimony on the spot - he's actually Keyser Soze!" "Dr. Mann is a liar, and the "ghost" pushing books off Murphy’s childhood bookshelf is her father, through a time portal from within the black hole!", etc, and then people skip buying a ticket and head back home. Now the plot-spoiler has decided to make it up to the movie theatre by buying some tickets from them.

It seems you went into a friendly, informative, non-disagreeing reply with a view to win a "Being An Argumentative Asshole Online" competition, and congratulations, you won!

Most of the other frontiers are like 1 ELO apart, so yeah, 20 is a big lead.

Maybe in one of the agent categories? It seems poorer there. But under the category "Best Text Models", it's crushingly in the lead.

Dimming them not only directly saves power, but also dramatically increases their longevity, and also increases their efficiency (saving even more power). :)
