And when the whole world is covered in datacenters, how will we continue to scale?


If I make up a riddle and ask an LLM to solve it, it will perform worse than a riddle that is well known and whose solution will be found in the dataset. That's just a foundational component of how they work.

Yes you can trick it.

But it’s almost trivial for an LLM to generate every question and answer combo you could every come up with based on new documentation and new source code for a new framework. It doesn’t need StackOverflow anymore. It’s already miles ahead.


The issue here is borrowing from the future to pay for the present. The bicycle analogy (unless I'm missing something huge here) does not seem relevant at all.

Why do you think source code and documentation are not enough for an LLM to train on?

That's just the thing though. OpenAI and the LLM industry generally are pushing so hard against any kind of regulation that the likelihood of this happening is definitely lower than the percentage of ChatGPT users in psychosis.

Exactly. They're predisposed to a delusional spiral and will therefore be attracted to the sycophantic model. OpenAI is thus incentivized to provide the sycophantic model.

If the something in question is a crime though, then that's called a conspiracy and there are laws against that. The legal difference in this case is the overt act, where one participant takes a criminal action beyond speech. Conspiracy is hard to prove in court, but that doesn't mean that I can say whatever I want and be completely absolved just because the action was not taken by my own hand.

No. I could choose to post my personal medical information in the town square, that doesn't make the town square a HIPPA entity.

Yeah, ask any Chilean how the installation of Pinochet worked out.

I'm arguing against the US installing leaders in Latin America, sorry if I was unclear. I happen to have some Chilean friends and stories from them, from the Pinochet era, have helped shape my perspective.

Yes, I was just adding some context for any MAGA here that might genuinely think that US intervention in Latin America has ever been a good thing.

Good for South America? Or good for the USA?

Yes.

To phrase it more completely, regime change and general destabilization of Latin American countries has definitely led to the immigration crisis in the United States now. Lack of stable governments and economies has absolutely exacerbated the production and transportation of drugs into the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been killed or disappeared by US-empowered gangs or governments.

Now that said, I don't know what the world would look like had their right to self-determination been preserved. Nobody knows. But as a general rule, countries whose power structures were not toyed with by colonial powers do better than countries whose power structures were toyed with.


The country remains polarized, so the answers might surprise you.

I’d argue the majority of casual online PC discourse is driven by gaming. By the numbers LTT is the largest PC/IT/consumer computer YouTube channel and the majority of their content is focused on gaming.

That’s my impression anyway.
