Who is failing to protect them from what?

> Humanity did exactly that though

No, it mostly didn't, it continued (continues, as every human is continuously interlacing “training” and “inferencing”) training on large volumes of ground truth for a very long time, including both natural and synthetic data; it didn't reason everything beyond some basic training on first principles.

At a minimum, something that looks broadly like one of today's AI models would need either a method of continuously finetuning its own weights with a suitable evaluation function or,if it was going to rely on in-context learning, would need many orders of magnitude larger context, than any model today.

And that's not a “this is enough to likely work” thing, but “this is the minimum for the their to even be a plausible mechnanism to incorporate the information necessary for it to work” one.

> There are good reasons to question renewable energy: the cost picture doesn't make sense right now, it has intermittency problems, etc.

You seem to rely on quite outdated information. Renewables are the cheapest source of energy in human history. The recent explosive growth is fueled by pure economics rather than feelgood.

The same thing is happening with storage with the prices plummeting. With the recent auctions landing at $50-60/MWh.

In many regions unsubsidized renewables + storage are now the cheapest source of energy, undercutting coal and gas. Nuclear power does not even enter the picture due to the absolutely insane costs involved.

You don't audit and review all $1k worth of tokens!

The AI might write ten versions. Versions 1-9 don't compile, but it automatically makes changes and gets further each time. Version 10 actually builds and seems to pass your test suite. That is the version you review!

—and you might not review the whole thing! 20 lines in, you realize the AI has taken a stupid approach that will obviously break, so you stop reading and tell the AI it messed up. This triggers another ~5 rounds of producing code before something compiles, which you can then review, hopefully in full this time if it did a good job.

Genuine question-

How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?

Intel is no Too big to fail Bank. Why save Intel of all chip manufacturers? Wouldnt it be like 25 years too late, with Intel and its heydays !?

Would Govt now ensure parity by investing in "marquee" entities across different industrial domains?

He gave you the exact text he added to his agents file. What else are you looking for?

It's almost like NY Times has a massive bias against generative AI, for some reason.

This is such a terrible idea because the packs have to be factory balanced before assembly, and everyday Joe doesn’t have the equipment (or probably the understanding) to do this part properly.

If the packs are not perfectly balanced, the batteries just short into each other and explode, and BMS can’t do anything because there isn’t any per-cell switch (cost).

It’s not just a matter of balancing voltage either, the cell profiles (voltage vs SOC) have to be the same otherwise you end up with 1 cell doing all the work. Simply put, when you mix and match cells of different brands, models, or even ages, they don’t integrate evenly. This results in a few or even just 1 cell doing a majority of the work during both charge and discharge, maybe 10x higher than its safety rating, guaranteed fire…

Also end-user is expected to do the math and input the battery’s total current rating into the motor controller? Yeah, nah, a hundred kids will think it’s cool to set this too high and set themselves and people around them on fire.

In my opinion, using AI tools for programming at the moment, unless in a sandboxed environment and on a toy project, is just ludicrous. The amount of shady things going on in this domain (AI trained on stolen content, no proper attribution, not proper way to audit what's going out to third party servers etc.) should be a huge red flag for any professional developer.
