there are workplaces that trust their employees to do the right thing to higher and lesser level. places that empower the employees the most will see the highest gains from LLMs

you can't continue shipping code the same way pre-LLM vs post-LLM and expecting a huge speed gain. the trick is abandoning the old models and bottlenecks and embracing the new possibilities enabled by LLMs. requires a high trust environment

the entire US economy rides on AI. no ruling throwing a wrench into the multi trillion engine is ever going to be permitted to happen

all this techno surveillance should just be straight out banned by law. the little extra security it might offer is not worth the huge costs in privacy and other unforeseen impacts

people that get their music from AA would never buy it or pay spotify for it, so the "loss" is completely imaginary. same goes for movies, videogames etc

that's kind of optimistic. for example a misaligned super AI might engineer a virus that wipes out most of the 7 billion humans. that would put a damper on the adaptability of the human race...

tesla is not competitive vs chinese. they can remain afloat wherever the chinese are not allowed to sell, that's about it

well yeah. the pentagon wastes 1 trilly per year. a lot of stuff can be paid for with that kind of money.

excuse me? the government's job is absolutely to maximize its ROI. I'm not paying taxes just for the money to be wasted

why produce less PhDs instead of fixing funding? in what world does the pentagon need 1 trillion dollars while NIH gets 10 billy or so?

why? state of the art therapies eg genetically reprogramming patients own immune cells to hunt cancer are curative in cases that were previously a death sentence

I suspect they have a long tail problem with FSD. It might work fine 99% but that's simply not good enough.

elon/tesla is not the only EV manufacturer, so idk why you are insisting on framing elon/tesla as some kind of climate messiah... in fact elon helped elect the most climate change denialist president in recent history so one might argue elon is actively hurting the global warming fight...

elon could just as easily be producing EV cars as a single digit billionaire

what labor issues and regulatory roadblocks? the man is halfway to becoming a trillionaire. if anything there wasn't enough labor legislation and more regulation to spread the wealth a bit
