Precision and ahead of schedule doesn’t accurately describe these projects once they reached a certain level of cost and complexity over a half century ago. I recommend reading Prophets of War Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex to get a sense of how remarkably efficient spacex has been in comparison.

I imagine for a quadriplegic moving around a 3D world in first person by thinking must feel great. I wonder if the thought that triggers the movement feels more like thinking about walking or thinking about pressing a button on a controller.

Gpt4’s response to the question using the exact wording

“To find out who wins, we can calculate the time it takes for each car to complete the race.

For Car A: - Speed = 10 mph - Distance = 100 miles - Time = Distance / Speed = 100 miles / 10 mph = 10 hours

For Car B: - Speed = 5 mph - Distance = 50 miles (because of the 50 mile headstart, it only needs to cover 50 miles) - Time = Distance / Speed = 50 miles / 5 mph = 10 hours

Both cars would finish the race at the same time, so it's a tie.”

They said

> we've heard all your feedback about GPT4 getting lazier! we haven't updated the model since Nov 11th, and this certainly isn't intentional. model behavior can be unpredictable, and we're looking into fixing it

This contradicts itself each sentence and sounds as if it was written by chatgpt itself in lazy mode.

They continue to set an incredibly high bar from story to engineering with every major release. It’s full of talent pushing the state of the art. Dead, utterly disgraced doesn’t describe the company. Stories about employees feeling exploited is more of a successful, topical company thing than a Rockstar thing.

High performance on a single task requires simultaneous computation and communication between nodes. If there's high latency between nodes, such as between nodes in different data centers, the communication costs can't be masked by computation.

10k H100 chips is considered a very large cluster. The third fastest supercomputer in the world is Microsoft’s eagle with 14k H100s https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2023/11/

This could be used as a consciousness override, replacing your own thoughts in realtime. I can think of some good applications and many terrible ones

There are many unselfish people who don’t like to throw good money after bad, who think that the current solutions are so ineffective that even if the entire wealth of every billionaire went towards homelessness the needle would barely move.

> I'd probably have no qualms about stabbing someone who I knew was trying to introduce my child or SO to hard drugs.

Have qualms. You stabbing someone will be worse for your child than hard drugs.
