New comment by oco101 in "Donut Lab’s all-solid-state battery delivers 400 Wh/kg of energy density"

oco101 — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 01:32:25 +0000

I mean, I have no idea what the point of this is, but I’d give it a 99.9% probability that this is some kind of joke, scam, publicity stunt, or social experiment. There’s just no way that anyone in the world could come up with such spectacular tech and nobody has ever heard about it. Let alone a 22-person company that not only claims to have developed the most advanced, production-ready battery in the world, but also plans to scale a battery factory to the size of Tesla’s Gigafactory within a year. But hey, maybe that’s possible, because the CEO is “a serial entrepreneur with a proven track record.” If you're curious here are all the details about the team behind this : https://www.donutlab.com/about-us/

New comment by oco101 in "AGI is far from inevitable"

oco101 — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 01:10:46 +0000

"That is just one very narrow task that basically anyone can do regardless of intelligence or talent. It takes less than a year to train a distracted 16 year old to do it, but three decades to train an AI and even then you probably need to hand tune it for specific locations because it won’t know what do in unusual road layouts."

It takes three decades to train an AI, but of course, like everything humanity does is not linear, it is exponential. Before the Wright brothers, it was believed that powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight was impossible. Then, in 1903, they achieved the first successful airplane flight, which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. By 1914, the first commercial flight covered approximately 21 miles and took about 23 minutes. This is just one example and I don't see why AI should be any different
