There are quite a lot of hyphens in this younger than open access to LLM models account’s posts.

"Too many hyphens!" is definitely the dumbest insult I've ever seen for someone digging through a comment history, holy shit.

Sure thing.

Also, I've never seen a hypen used in 'planning ahead' before.

Easy to say when you're not yet the old sick person

Yes it is, it's called planning-ahead for the extremely predictable.

I'm surprised how low suicide rates are at 2%. If I were an old sick person and steadily becoming more of a burden, there's no way in hell I would just leave it to nature to decide when I die, or let the profit-maximizing hospital bureaucracy make that call for me. I'm sure some old folk are afraid that suicide will send them to hell, as if God wouldn't understand.

In 2027-2028. Comment in the article: The big company who doesn't have a competitive product attempts to mess up the market by making bold announcements of fantastic products that are coming "soon".

Everybody serious, except Tesla, has a solid-state battery program. Here's an overview of where various car makers are.[1] There are a few prototype cars running around on all solid state batteries now. The problem is developing a cheap production process. Most of the big players are saying first production vehicles in 2027, solid state technology takes over around 2030.

There's an interim "semi solid state" technology that's already in some cars. It's one of those stopgap ideas destined to go away, like "mild hybrids".

It's a Tesla fanboy/investor website. They used to have the $TSLA stock ticker right on the front page. Commentor opinions on any other car company are even more useless than the average internet opinion.
j_timberlake commented on Man still alive six months after pig kidney transplant   nature.com/articles/d4158... · Posted by u/signa11

Transplanted kidneys get rejected by the recipient's immune system eventually, you'd really need to clone the kidney from the individual's DNA to solve the rejection problem. There's also been some success with integrating the DNA from the kidney donor (a human) into the recipient's bone marrow to stop the rejection process, but I hear it can be a brutal procedure in which the original bone marrow must be destroyed using chemotherapy or radiation.

If I were a patient, I'd probably want a pig kidney now and really hope it lasts until something like kidney cloning is a thing.

> As AI gets smarter, access to AI will be a fundamental driver of the economy, and maybe eventually something we consider a fundamental human right.

My product is going to be the fundamental driver of the economy. Even a human right!

> Maybe with 10 gigawatts of compute, AI can figure out how to cure cancer.

How?

> We are particularly excited to build a lot of this in the US; right now, other countries are building things like chips fabs and new energy production much faster than we are, and we want to help turn that tide.

There's the appeal to the current administration.

> Over the next couple of months, we’ll be talking about some of our plans and the partners we are working with to make this a reality. Later this year, we’ll talk about how we are financing it

Beyond parody.

You skipped any attempt to prove his statements wrong, this is just reddit-level sneering with zero discussion material.

I don't want any of this crap. We need to push for the right to opt out of AI features. All of this garbage should be opt in.
j_timberlake · 3 months ago
It's been like 18 months of Google saying they're putting genAI into all their services, it's 100% your fault if this is a surprise for you.

"We need to push for the right to opt out of AI features."

You've had access to Firefox for over 20 years.
