<p>For perspective, 28 million gallons of water per day is roughly equivalent to what 93,000 households consume per day. There are ~130,000,000 households in the United States.</p>

<p>I’m curious if that 1 million DAU still holds as of today. I think it was reported last year some time aka before December when Claude code exploded. A quick google didn’t turn up any results that actually contained sources for the number.</p>

<p>If only there was some way where workers in this profession could form some type of JOIN(but like a vertical version?) between different sets of workers, even crossing company boundaries, so that workers could coordinate to ensure that everyone would be quitting at once, and therefore have any power at all to block anti-worker edicts.</p>

<p>This is a naive take on this. Do you think it stops with just metamates(lmao that’s what they call themselves) being surveilled? Nope. This is the exact type of thing that software IC’s should reject in solidarity. Being happy with BadCompanyX trampling employee expectations directly allows for GoodCompanyY to enact the same policies.</p>

<p>Nadella took the reins in 2014 and the stock has 10x’d since then. In the same timeframe, the sp500 has 2.5x’d. Sounds pretty successful to me?</p>

<p>It is significantly less productive to hand wash dishes. But that’s fine to do manually if you wish for something that takes up maybe half an hour of your own time every several days. It’s not fine if washing dishes is your job. No company is going to hire an artisanal dish hand washer that refuses to use a dishwasher.</p>

<p>Flagship LLM companies seem like the absolute worst possible companies to try and nationalize.<p>1. There would absolutely be mass resignations, especially at a company like Anthropic that has such an image (rightfully or wrongfully) of “the moral choice”. 
2. No one talented will then go work for a government-run LLM building org. Both from a “not working in a bureaucracy” angle and a “top talent won’t accept meager government wages” angle (plus plenty of “won’t work for trump” angle)
3. With how fast things move, Anthropic would become irrelevant in like 3 months if they’re not pumping out next gen model updates.<p>Then one of the big American LLM companies would be gone from the scene, allowing for more opportunity for competition (including Chinese labs)<p>It would be the most shortsighted nationalization ever.</p>

<p>The difference is ISPs usually have monopoly/duopoly pricing power and LLMs already have freely available open source models. If one AI company decides they want to start gouging, they have to compete with other providers AND open source. And if all of the ai companies start colluding on price gouging, there’s always the option of new competitors cloud hosting open source models.<p>That said I do think eventually prices will increase somewhat, unless SOTA models start becoming profitable at current prices (my knowledge is at least 6 months old on this so maybe they have already become profitable?)</p>

<p>I was confused when reading the abstract so I ChatGPT’d a summary and it just so happened to include this exact explanation:<p>1. What does a “critical regime” mean?<p>In neuroscience, a “critical regime” is like a sweet spot between too much order (where the brain is slow and rigid) and too much chaos (where it’s noisy and erratic). In this state:<p>* The brain is highly sensitive to inputs.<p>* It’s capable of flexible responses.<p>* Some researchers think this is ideal for things like learning, memory, and information processing.<p>BUT — that’s during waking states.<p>During sleep, especially NREM sleep, the brain is supposed to be less active so it can:<p>* Consolidate memories,<p>* Clear out waste (literally),<p>* Reset emotional balance,<p>* Rest and repair.</p>

<p>Made a “machine learning movie recommendation” website. It went through some relevant questions and had you select some of your favorite movies to base the recommendation off of. Then it “calculated” and finally recommended Weekend at Bernie’s to everyone regardless of what you answered. Then gave you an option of another movie, which was always Weekend at Bernie’s 2.<p>I had no specific reason to build it other than I thought it would be funny.</p>

<p>And for reference, it takes around $10/year to run a single efficient indoor LED lightbulb. So charging a cell phone for a years-worth of usage costs less than 1/10th of running an efficient LED lightbulb bulb for the full year.<p>Again, cell phones are just confusingly not energy intensive.</p>
