Water consumption of AI is a non-issue. Why even spend research and policymaking resources on this?

As someone who's been doing AI call centres for a while, I'm not surprised. It's really, really hard to build voice AI that works. There are no open source solutions that work out of the box.

But the biggest problem is ASR. WER is still atrocious even with SOTA models. When you add drug names and regional accents, it's a recipe for disaster.

> For AI2027 to be real, the money has to come from somewhere to carry on building the economy. If >10% of the workers suddenly become unemployed, and the rest taking paycuts, then money supply dries up. (unless central banks do something, but then that can be highly inflationary)

Why would it be inflationary?

> We are seeing improvements with each model release these days but it’s clear that the improvements are getting smaller and smaller.

This is obviously untrue, both with GPT-5.4, and Claude Fable as examples in the last 6 months.

You guys absolutely rock. You've built an industry standard with Promptfoo. Keeping it open source was the right choice.

The reason for divergence is actually much simpler. NASDAQ 100 includes data center builders, Morgan Stanley software index doesn't. Stock market is going down across the board if you exclude data center construction.

New comment by exizt88 in "Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America"

exizt88 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:51:17 +0000

One of my favorite things about Curtis Yarvin is that one of his main ideas is laughably easy to prove wrong. He says that whenever we go into the past, the previous generation seems to be more "right-wing" than the current one. Which is almost comically wrong. For example, you get Victorian Era being much more conservative than its predecessor, Georgian Era. Same goes for Christian Roman Empire vs Pagan Roman Empire, Nazi Germany vs Weimar Germany, etc etc. There are literally dozens of examples. It seems that Yarvin genuinely doesn't know any of these high school-level facts.
