<p>> The truth is, if there was no AI tech developed, we would not need to regulate it so that greed does not take over.<p>Same could be said for the Internet as we know it too. Literally replace AI with Internet above and it reads equally true. Some would argue (me included some days) we are worse off as a society ~30 years later. That’s also a legitimate case that can be made it was a huge benefit to society too. Will the same be said of AI in 2042?</p>

<p>The level of hallucinations with o3 are no different than the level of hallucinations from most (all?) human sources in my experience. Yes, you definitely need to cross check, but yes, you need to do that for literally everything else, so it feels a bit redundant to keep preaching that as if it’s a failing of the model and not just an inherent property of all free sharing of information between two parties.</p>

<p>> The bandwidth between macs isn't enough to do inference effectively.<p>While it’s certainly no where near the memory bandwidth, 80Gbps is on par with most high end, but still affordable, machine to machine connections.

<p>> This is the power consumed by the light source for one photo tool on one line.<p>Actually, it’s not if you read the linked article.

<p>Yep, you did the simple math. 2MW generators are rather common place, they even come in portable (as in on a trailer) form.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing the link! 1.3MW really isn’t that high of a load though. Thats a very straightforward load to be able to support via diesel generators. As an example, a typical large datacenter uses an order of magnitude more power, yet stays online following a grid outage.</p>

<p>But the type signature of:<p>int -> int<p>Is wrong. At minimum it’s:<p>Optional[int] -> int<p>Because you provided a default value so clearly it’s not required to provide an input parameter. It’s also wrong to assume `0` is an int. There’s other valid types it could be. If the default was say `42`, I’d be pushing back a little less (outside of the Optional part), but this contrived example from GP had 0, which is ambiguous on what the inferred typing must be.</p>
