It's very easy to calculate financial harm, and for an individual worker, even multiplying that harm by 10x isn't going to be a "significant" amount for a large-ish company.

In this random case, the company was ordered to pay the wages and then the same amount on top of that for the damage caused[1], so it was 2x total.

> Safety violations seldom cost a company more than a few thousand dollars unless someone is killed, and even then payments rarely exceed 5 figures.

This isn't true. Just looking at some random, low-profile cases, you can easily find awards in the six figures[2].

Anyway, what's your point?

I think this is related to the fact that most wireless headphones people have experience with are Bluetooth.

BT headphones have lag, and, when used in duplex mode, have terrible quality. And this lag adds to the one introduced by the conferencing software.

I've got myself a Jabra headset that communicates over DECT. This thing is spectacular. No discernible lag (as tested with games) and the mic quality is better than what I hear from people rocking Bose and Sony BT headphones. The range is great, too. Much better than what I get from my BT headphones.

This is a personal correspondence typeset via LaTeX — it is not an academic paper, and it was not peer-reviewed. (The document does not claim otherwise, but I think it's common for people to assume that documents that have been typeset in such a format are more rigorous than this is.)

Leaving that aside, I really take issue with the style used by the author. For example, section 3 begins:

> There is increasingly substantial evidence that LLMs develop internal representations of the world to some extent, and that these representations allow them to reason at a level of abstraction that is not sensitive to the precise linguistic form of the text that they are reasoning about.

LLMs do not "reason"; they do not "learn" or "develop" anything of their own volition. They are (advanced) statistical models. Anthropomorphizing them is not just technically incorrect, but morally disingenuous. Writing about LLMs in this way causes people with less domain-specific knowledge to trust the models the way they might trust people, and this has the potential for serious harm.

Because of this choice of phrasing, I wanted to look into the author's background. Among their recent activities, they list:

> I'm organizing a new AI safety research group at NYU, and I wrote up a blog post explaining what we're up to and why.

"AI Safety" is a distinct (and actually opposing) area from "AI Ethics". The people who prefer the word "safety" tend also to engage in discussions that touch on aspects of longtermism. Longtermism is not scientifically well-grounded; it seeks to divert attention from present and real issues to fanciful projections of far-future concerns. I do not know for certain that the author is in fact a longtermist, but their consistent anthropomorphization of a pile of statistical formulae certainly suggests they wouldn't feel out of place among a crowd of such people.

In contrast, the people who prefer the term "ethics" in their work are grounded in real and present issues. They concern themselves with reasonable regulation. They worry about the current-day environmental impacts of training large models. In short, they are concerned with actual issues, rather than the alleged potential for a statistical model to "develop" sentience or exhibit properties of "emergent" intelligence (subjects from the annals of the science-fiction writing of last century).

I hope the author can clarify their choice of phrasing in their work, though I worry they have chosen their words carefully already. Readers should exercise caution in taking the claims of a soothsayer without a sufficient quantity of salt.

Language has also been called the "operating system" of the brain. When we think about things, we think in terms of words and language.
To make the costs more comparable, in the report he mentions, they estimate 2.5% per year of the installed battery capacity
cost as the ongoing maintenance costs. And, the batteries have an 85% efficiency rating meaning they'd need 92 gwh of
installed battery capacity to meet the 75 gwh demand, so tack on an additional $4.25 billion so the battery cost which is now $23 billion.

Based on the lifetimes of these South Korean plants(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_South_Korea),
I'm just going to use 40 years as the lifetime for these calculations as I couldn't find any numbers for how long
the UAE expects that plant to be operating regarding that operational costs of $20 billion which gives us:

Maintenance costs for solar of:
40 years x $23 billion x 2.5% = $23 billion

So now we're at a total current cost of $46 +7.5 = $53.5 billion for Solar vs. $45 billion for Nuclear.

Edit: Forgot the actual cost of the solar array that G80z said was $7.5 billion

I'm glad that you brought up this example because it's the one context in which I think spanking can be acceptable (needing to shock a child from something they were about to do that could have endangered themselves or others). I'm not a parent and not sure I wouldn't try to find some other approach but I can see the strength of the argument here (where I can't see it for other uses of corporal punishment of children).

I'm really surprised how they let the Pro range suffer though. Every 5-6 years there is a major release bringing it up to spec but in between nothing happens at all, not even a minor redesign for the latest CPUs.

This is what I don't get - the Pro is specifically aimed at those needing the maximum performance out of their machine. But after the first year this has been overtaken by the rest of the market and the remaining years until the next redesign it's a pityful excuse for a high-end workstation. Not to mention they won't even drop the price (ok for the trash can model they actually did that once.)

So, to whom is this still an appealing offer? Who invests top dollar into apple workstations when it's almost guaranteed they're going to be left in an awkward spot with nowhere to upgrade every few years? What's the point of this whole product line this way?

> The license is the limit, the worst you are allow to behave before you are breaking the law. You're not necessarily good actor just because you're within the bounds of the license.

As long as someone else's derivative work is properly compliant with the license under which the original work was released, the creator of the original work--who chose the license!--has no standing to complain. If they didn't game out this possible outcome that's on them.

Trying to insist that random strangers have to conform to the norms of a community of which they're not a part in addition to conforming to their legal obligations is practically delusional.

While I don't think these claims are entirely correct, I think they are worth considering.

On the one hand, Gaining capabilities unpredictably is a bit exaggerated - it's more that a lot of apparent capabilities are embedded in language and these models approximate the truly vast amounts of text they've digested (imo). Just as much, LLMs don't express their creators values 'cause they don't express any values, they average language responses (though people certainly can see them expressing values, which can cause problems for the people).

On the other hand, the point that their creators don't understand them and are still quite willing to toss them to the open Internet really show considered carefully whatever their exact capabilities.
All? And all equally?

That's where the original argument fails to compel.

There's ~ 50 countries with nuclear reactors, and about 30 with nuclear power plants. (Australia's an example of having one reactor, for research, but not wanting any for power production.)

Anyway, it's unlikely those 32 countries that have nuclear fission power plant, which presumably is a subset of countries that could build them today, all have near-identical regulatory / process requirements that in turn are the reason they're uneconomical to build there.

What are the “bad long term outcomes?” Civilization as we know it is the product of societies that practiced corporal punishment. Most of those civilizations have declined since they abandoned it. Look at the British. They were famous for the strict discipline in their schools. Now they’re a shadow of their former selves. I’m not as ready as you to abandon received wisdom and a track record for some academic studies.

I meant Asians in Asia. Also, as I mentioned in the thread you linked, I’m unpersuaded by your study of Asian Americans, especially because of the highly idiomatic phrasing of the polling questions. I’m also not even sure how you’d design a study to measure this to account for confounding factors. For example, how do you separate parents who use physical punishment because they have poor impulse control (which is quite heritable) from those that use physical punishment when it’s appropriate? And what’s the definition of success? E.g. what if teachers hitting low impulse control students doesn’t do much for the student, but reduces disruption so the rest of the students in class do better? That wouldn’t seem to count in the studies on this I’ve seen.
