Our scaling is human oriented - add more shifts. Maybe we can adapt new manufacturing methods like screw extrusion mentioned in the article

> In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity. Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding. Reid Hoffman bridged the gap to cover salaries and operations.

And by conservative parents as domestic terrorists, I assume you mean the people convicted of crime due to their actual criminal actions on Jan. 6?

Lets say your pay band is 100-200k. A new hire is theoretically better than 50% of their team, so they join at an HV3 and make 180k. If they receive HV3 at OLR, their total comp target (TCT) remains 180k. If it is their first OLR, they are probably not getting any additional RSUs because the cash-based comp of the first 2 years means they are already at their TCT.

If they made TT, their TCT goes to 200k and they would receive additional RSUs to reach that pay.

If they were HV2 or below, they would not get additional RSUs and their TC would slowly fall from 180k to 160k or below. If it fell below the HV2 level of 160k they would get some RSUs later to bump them back to TCT.

Amazon also assumes the stock will go up 15% year over year, so when RSUs are granted over a multiyear time horizon, you receive less based on assumed growth that would make you reach your TCT.

That’s all incredibly fantastical and sounds vaguely plausible unless you’ve had to interact with bureaucracies.

To your second: I’m not sure that we’re talking about the same thing? If I own $100mm worth of H100s and their electricity, networking, and engineering overhead, I’m very interested in their utilization and return on investment. I’m going to have specific goals and milestones. When those are not met because the AI is doing something else, I’m going to direct introspection (which presumably is what kicks off the reboot in the discussion on point one).

And since you mentioned the poor having to pay higher prices, that highlights the fact that AI is not operating in a vacuum. If AI starts making life that much worse for people, they are going to rise up. FUD works to some degree, but there are always people without Internet or willing to martyr themselves for a cause.

I see almost no chance that an AGI starts redirecting resources like energy and compute without someone who has an economic stake in what the AI does noticing and taking action to correct the behavior so they can maintain their investment.
