Quoting the article:

> His grand idea is that OpenAI will capture much of the world’s wealth through the creation of A.G.I. and then redistribute this wealth to the people. In Napa, as we sat chatting beside the lake at the heart of his ranch, he tossed out several figures — $100 billion, $1 trillion, $100 trillion.

> If A.G.I. does create all that wealth, he is not sure how the company will redistribute it. Money could mean something very different in this new world.

> But as he once told me: “I feel like the A.G.I. can help with that.”

If they do end up creating AGI that captures much of the worlds wealth. Do you think governments around the world will say “well shit, that Sammy A he really figured out this whole AGI business, let’s just let him run the whole world”?

Doesn’t seem likely to me.

> Paul Graham, founder of Y Combinator, explained Mr. Altman’s motivation like this:

> “Why is he working on something that won’t make him richer? One answer is that lots of people do that once they have enough money, which Sam probably does. The other is that he likes power.”

Reminds me of something Matt Levine (who else?) wrote: “One deep theme of this column is that “greed” is overrated as a driver of bad behavior. People who want to make a lot of money are fine, as people go; it’s the people who want power that you should worry about.”
Regardless of this article’s content and the discussion here, I’m glad to see some fellow mallus in a HN thread :)
It's less a curve and more a narrow path.

Most turns lead to falsehoods. Even if the mainstream story is wrong, deviating from it is likely to put one somewhere more, not less, wrong.
Yes exactly GA
Yes! But it requires a wealth tax (or equivalent) higher than the rich's profit margins, and requires enforcement in all major jurisdictions. This is effectively impossible due to the sheer amount of power these folks have to prevent it. Simple.
A big part of the problem with eliminating tax avoidance is that many businesses would actually leave the jurisdiction if it was the only way to avoid paying high taxes, and governments know this, so they structure the tax code to be able to tax businesses that are hard to offshore while giving breaks to the ones that could benefit from leaving if the alternative was paying billions more in taxes.

But nobody wants to see a big explicit carve out like that because of the obvious unfairness (it's a huge advantage to multinationals over smaller companies), so they try to make it less obvious.

The best way to prevent this is to use taxes that can't be avoided through transfer pricing, e.g. VAT. The company can move their headquarters wherever they like; the tax is paid to the jurisdiction where their customers are.

But the other dirty little secret is that this would have to be government revenue neutral (just an increase in fairness), because if it actually increased the amount of taxes being paid on net then consumer prices would go up or retirement accounts would go down or both, because the money has to come from somewhere. So doing the thing that increases fairness has to be done without help from the people who want government to spend more money or you'll be impacting ordinary people who won't like it.
>I just can't picture how this would even work. They're completely different products for different demographics, and trying to mush them together makes no sense. Maybe we'll get an updated Valve Index, but not some Steam Deck specific thing.

I kind of think the Steam Deck is going to eventually morph into a VR device itself. Assuming continual progress of some form or another in shrinking and packing transistors on a die, there are probably going to be APUs that match VR performance of a 3070, performance which will be seen as entry level, or even irrelevant for discreet gpus and desktop rigs in 2030, but mostly fine for casual users who want a portable device that can play vr. I could be totally wrong though.
California has so. much. solar. They peak at 13-15GW of production daily per ElectricityMap.org. Covering just their water canals would add another 13GW of generation capacity while also conserving 63 billion gallons of water annually.

Not in one of the three main cases considered here. This is the Swedish “save to win” system - the number of lottery tickets depends on your bank account balance. (The other two cases for which they have data are more conventional lotteries.)
What is wealth? How do you define it? How can you tax it? If it's in stocks, what does it mean to tax it? If I own a company worth X billion, does that mean I have to sell my shares to withdraw enough cash to pay my taxes, thereby tanking the value of my own company? If I pay a lot in a downturn but my company does better in a boom, will I get refunded the extra tax I paid?

It's not as simple as "make it illegal to have above X amount of money" because it's not really even money at that point, no one has X billion in cash lying around, it's tied to some physical asset. This is just one problem to your statement, there are many others.

No.

When people say they want fairness, they are being disingenuous. They want a lot of the fair that benefits them and a little bit of the fair that makes their life worse.

That's not what fair means. Would you want fair if it made your life a lot worse? The only honest answer is no :)

What you are arguing for is a philosophical position called atomism or reductionism, (which contrasts with holism). It is a rather old school philosophy honestly (with holism also being old school, but not quite as much) as we are are learning more how important interactions are really to study anything honestly.

Modern philosophy of science kind of rejects the notion that you can study anything really by only looking at the atomic structure of it. This is to say, you can’t really study history by only looking at the actions of individual actors. Even in particle physics you have the 4 fundamental interactions, you have virtual particles, etc. not just. This isn’t to say that fermions and bosons aren’t important, it is just that it is hard to describe any physical phenomena without looking at the interactions between them. And in fact, by studying those interactions, you can derive certain laws and behaviors. History is no different, except the complexity is many many orders of magnitude greater.
Proprietary parts aren't necessarily bad, it just depends on why they're proprietary - if it's just to go-to-market faster, it's fair to criticize the decision, but often there are legitimate downsides that would result in less-than-ideal compromises in terms of performance or features. Hopefully such companies doing this are transparent and will answer inquiries into why they made these parts decisions.

Evolution took the lazy shortcut of making us want sex, not children, and for millions of years that hack worked.

Now that birth control exists, there will be much stronger selection for actually wanting children. People who only want sex will be removed from the gene pool.
This is what the IRS is for. It's one of the only government organizations that actually makes more money than is put into it. So we'd just give them more money and resources to do their job, which would include wealth evaluation. And to answer your "gotcha" question you do get taxed on stocks in this scenario.

If you want to nitpick that every solution isn't as simple as fizzbuzz then there's no real point having a discussion. There are plenty of other tax alternatives that are also quite simple, you just seem to be unhappy with anything that isn't perfect.

In the 90s I didn’t have a house, I was in diapers.

In my experience, using scales of 1 through 10 (least to most spicy), a Japanese 10 is an Indian-in-USA 2.

I usually do a 5 to 8 on Japanese scale, though 3 or 4 is fine when eating with more sensitive people. 1 is tooo sweet, even when I was in grammar school, although it's marketed in Japan towards kids. If an Indian restaurant in USA offers only "mild, medium, spicy", I should choose mild because medium will cause about 30 hours of pain along the entirety of my digestive tract.
It's funny how no one sees it. Sam Altman is a "successful" entrepreneur, yet he never had a successful company. He made loopt, a defunct company which raised serious money at the time, and then he suddenly made it to YC as a partner. He, then, quickly rose through the ranks to become president of YC. Think of that for a second.

OpenAI is a company that can barely ship a functioning website, or have proper security for basic stuff. You'd not expect this company to be the future of AI, do you? OpenAI is not doing anything particularly special compared the LLM we have out there except they were a bit ahead and they spent more money on training. Other LLMs are catching up fast in a very short period of time.

Sam Altman is a master of pump&dump. He is very successful at creating hype and based on the number of people here who thinks OpenAI is the legit future of AI, I'd say he is pretty damn good at it too. See you in 5 years.

> If you want to nitpick that every solution isn't as simple as fizzbuzz then there's no real point having a discussion.

No, that's the entire point of having the discussion. If the solution can't answer even these types of questions, then there's no point having the discussion, because it breaks down even upon initial examination.

> This is what the IRS is for. It's one of the only government organizations that actually makes more money than is put into it. So we'd just give them more money and resources to do their job, which would include wealth evaluation.

Sure, I agree in giving more money to the IRS, indeed that's happened recently, but even they are not going to tax unrealized capital gains.

The smallest bit of honesty and numerical literacy is not a particularly high standard, but you've limboed under it again. You just doubled down on the same facile comparison. The fission product yield of breeding 100 tonnes of Pu is about the same as running a single power reactor for 5 years or so, and not only did it create far less long lived Pu240 and similar transuranics (the entire point of doing it this way), but they were removed with the end product.

When I used to live in a small room, one day I put my guitar kind of half-way into my closet by the corner of the room. A few mins later I yelled something (I forget what) and it was as though my guitar strummed the A string on its own. It freaked me out for a sec but then I started belting different notes, and as soon as I got back to a certain note the guitar would strum itself again!
> Your mental gymnastics are Olympic level. Yes, when companies are hiring they do in fact choose the best candidate.

You don't hire "the best person in the world" (absolute advantage), you hire the best person who accepts the job offer, or else noone. Anyone with something better to do won't take the job. Senior engineers don't take junior positions.

Though of course it's not always the best person anyway - family businesses hire family or their friend's cousin, and interns aren't expected to be good at "their jobs" but instead to be good over time.

If you're hiring someone specifically because they're good at one task, might as well get a contractor anyway. Nevertheless, US unemployment rate is about as good as it's ever been. So I suspect this fear is left over from the 2008 recession…

> Are you familiar with the fact that things improve with time? And that technology ratchets forward, not backward.

Yes, that's why it's good. Productivity enhancements and automation increases are associated with increased employment, because if you don't have them your entire country loses work to other countries.

So the thing to be concerned about would be losing them.

Yeah, like what the achieved in public schools, or police forces and blue wall, or American auto industry... not quite a union but AMA has also achieved a lot for US doctor pay vs the rest of the world. American West Coast port efficiency is also the laughing stock of the world, thanks in no small part to unions. And feather bedded and/or mafia-run infrastructure costs in places like New York.. oh yeah, I'm forgetting the glorious history of unions! That's where it really is, like explicitly racist exclusion during the Great Migration, or volunteer patrols Cesar Chavez used to run to intimidate undocumented immigrants with violence and bribe officials to look the other way.

I personally think, with the exception of those explicitly dedicated to violence or war, American-style unions are the most evil organizations on the planet. If someone paid me to invent a social structure with worse all-around incentives, I probably couldn't do it.
> This problem isn't complicated because it's intellectually challenging. This problem is complicated because the balance of power is overwhelmingly favorable to the rich, and they have many means to both disrupt the conversation in intellectual circles and to block any political means of making these necessary changes.

It can be both, one does not preclude the other. As I mentioned in my other comments, one can't simply adjust taxes without thinking about higher order effects, and it takes intellectual capacity to even think about what to tax in the first place and how, in order to reduce these effects.

> See economist Richard D. Wolff for extremely simple answers to the above problem.

>What is the long term durability like? --- Do the nozzles leak when using high performance materials? (E3D themselves cannot even ship anything other than Revo that can actually make this claim with the only exception being Prusa factory installed 0.4n V6s) --- Extruder durability?

The Bambu hotend is a fully integrated unit, with the (hardened steel) nozzle, hotend and throat being shrink-fitted together. It is at least as leak-resistant as the Revo. The extruder is broadly derivative of the Bondtech BMG/LGX, with hardened steel hob gears; I would expect it to have similar durability.

>What is the support experience like? We've heard it is patchy relative to Prusa, specifically around spare parts availability.

Bambu have had issues with availability of machines and spares, which is to be expected for a company growing at their speed. As I speak, most parts are available, with a few backordered with ETAs of early April.

>How is the lifting / warping problem with the given build surfaces and enclosure? This is a non-trivial problem if you want to use the entire surface for large jobs with advanced materials.

Auto bed leveling is fast and accurate, with optional confirmation of first layer quality using the LIDAR scanner. Build plate adhesion is what you'd expect from textured PEI. I have seen some complaints of warped beds. It's fully enclosed, which is essential for printing with materials like ABS. The controller's camera provides automatic failed print detection.

Neither Bambu or Prusa make truly industrial machines; if you need high uptime and business-level support, you'd want to buy something from the likes of Makerbot, Zortrax or Raise3D. Of course, you would pay several times more for the privilege. With that said, I see no reason to trust a Bambu machine any less than a Prusa.
