Can a company like openAI be worth an estimated 1/5th of Alphabet, which offers a similar product but also has an operative system, a browser, the biggest video platform, the most used mail client, its own silicon to running that product, the 3rd most popular Cloud platform, ... ?
I think that is the recklessness in question. Throw in that there is no profit for OpenAI & co and that everything is fueled by debt and the picture is grim (IMHO)
Yeah, additionally imagine supporting something like that: "Yeah, I cannot reproduce your issue because things on my end look different". A nightmare for sure.
North of the Alps temperature would drop considerably. South of the Alps, probably fine due to the thermal mass of the mediterranean sea. However, for the whole Europe you would see a massive drop in rainfall, since basically all the humidity comes from the Atlantic's warm air that carries a lot of it.
Additionally, Carribeans, Mexico and South of the US would also be fucked since the energy wouldn't disperse and all the heat and humidity would stay there. Hurricanes would be much more violent, with way more rain, and likely more frequent.
Labrador current might become weaker though, but it is not a given. Currently, the waters from the gulf stream cool down and sink to the bottom of the ocean, so they don't displace the artic waters and hence are not likely the cause of how cold north eastern US is.
None? It is not certain any country will benefit. Countries built their infrastructure and population centers according to the weather of the location. If the weather changes probably every country will have to adjust.
If you are asking which area will benefit from climate change I would say Siberia as it will become increasingly important due to the northern corridor remaining ice free and because a lot of people will be displaced by weather/sea level. And that place is empty. Additionally, it has nice farming soil which right now is not used since there are easier places to farm but in a warming world this could change
After COVID they were still making a killing, but axed 12k people anyway. So, if someone starts doing layoffs and the market reacts well profitable companies will do layoffs as well
There's a limit to that according to: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y . Basically, if you use an LLM to augment a training dataset it will become "dumber" every subsequent generation and I am not sure how you can generate synthetic data for a language model without using a language model
Synthetic data doesn't have to come from an LLM. And that paper only showed that if you train on a random sample from an LLM, the resulting second LLM is a worse model of the distribution that the first LLM was trained on. When people construct synthetic data with LLMs, they typically do not just sample at random, but carefully shape the generation process to match the target task better than the original training distribution.
But imagine how much money will it create for shareholders for a little bit /s
Seriously though, there's a part of me that hopes that the technology can help with technological advancement. Fusion, room temperature superconductors, working solid state batteries, ... which will all help in leaping ahead and make sure everyone on the planet has a good life. Is the risk worth it? I don't know, bit that's my reason for wanting AGI
Why do you think AGI would help develop things that are mainly limited not by ideas, but by the time and resources it takes to do the experiments and engineering in the real world?
Because people like my mom don't know there is an alternative and people like my dad thinks OSS has ties to communism (really, I wish I was joking) and MacOS is for hipsters. Doesn't matter that I work for a FAANG company and we use and contribute to OSS or that my work laptop is a Mac.
