Claims like that need robust facts

The article itself feels like clickbait.

Bold statement. I wouldn’t count anyone as a winner on consumer market at this point.

I think the weight of people who dislike Meta is going to be a problem - that and forcing to give a lot of information just to use it is problematic for adoption.

100% and there are a large groups of people who just don't care/motivated about the things you do and that doesn't make them stupid. The trick is not getting caught trying to spend all your time with people who don't care about similar things unless you need them to care.

Also agree with your statement that there is a huge cross-section of intellectual capability as well.

Exactly because calling out someones intelligence, whether it is strong or weak, is the equivalent of trying to be-little someone. And that is a complete a-hole move.

What if future agents solved time related physics and were sending back smarter agents to kill off future risks. T2 but without any of the action, just a bureaucratic tactical move and all the consequences.

Come on - thats not solving all the problems that you buy GENERATORS for. 4 hour bridge is great - but emergency power or always on -- 4 hours is not enough.

Battery is load balancing not generation.

Em dashes got taken from me as a result of Chat. I used them all the time now I can't without it making people pause to think I'm a bot. Still a bit annoyed or sad about that tbh.

In this example you are describing the company that drives the vehicle, not the company that makes the rebar. OpenAI is the one who made the rebar, but not necessarily the one driving the vehicle.

I get your point though.

1/4 of the cities water use is pretty impressive though the Dalles isn't that big. It is very dry though so I would be concerned about water use as a resident.

I feel like it might be that but everyone is obscuring facts and numbers about usage so its kind of making their own problems worse.

Now can you scale out your argument for how many data centers for total water usage.

And then find out how much Oracle uses per site as I figure their provably running much less efficient operations.

Im with you being some numbers to the battle. Its either going to be obviously bad or non-issue. Next question is, what is the quality of the recycled water.

Final comment - you used Nebraska as a location - what about all the drought states?

I mean it’s true but it’s not newsworthy. Everything has been probability based for ever, just now it is so explicit and everyone talks pseudo stats like. Example p hacking, bayesian.

Right? I love playing games with more computer players and less real people. Really makes games more fun! In fact it saves the need to have an internet connection you can just spawn up a million bots and play on your own. Maybe its full circle just going back to C&C vs many computers.
