I believe they mean it's 7 million laptops times 8 hours per day in energy
so if they're running the compute stuff in the data center 24/7, they're using 1/3 as much energy per hour as you'd get from running 7 million laptops. presumably they're trying to draw a comparison to people who use a laptop for work and then shut it down at the end of the work day

We'll see but its true. This stuff needs a return.
A colleague of mine works in digital training and he mentioned 'Oh we're dropping AI voices' When I asked why:'Their prices keep going up, they want so much money for so few voices, they must be getting desperate.

B-but its going to solve physics.

Aside from the fact that no it isn't going to solve all of physics, there's an extraordinary rhetorical sleight of hand in there. What is the future going to look like "even if we solve every safety / misuse / regulatory problem"? No! What is the world going to look like if we *don't* do that (because we can't and won't!)

Gift article about the collapse of a company that failed to design an AI chatbot for the LA school system. A telling portion intimates that the company’s founder kept referring to work she had done with a lab at Harvard… but which was actually a brief association as an undergraduate and then extension student. AI is just big grift afaichttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/us/ai-chatbot-los-angeles-schools.html?unlocked_article_code=1.300.J-uf.4ZtU36zvm3Zr&smid=url-share

Kurzweil seems to be a sober advocate for what's going on at the moment. But then he quotes Musk so that's where it first gets suspicious, even before the immortality stuff..

Hand crib:
If Musk says something is happening now, it won't be seen for a decade or more.
If Musk says something is a year away, it's unlikely to be seen in our lifetimes
If Musk says something is two years away or more, it's a physical impossibility

I just looked up Kurzweil a few days ago to see where he was at on prophecies of the Singularity. Apparently we’ve got ‘til 2040 to enjoy our meat bodies.

Kurzweil says some things that seem plausible and some that seem way too optimistic. Its a mix of useful and garbage.

until you can actually give it notes dont think theres much to worry about except maybe on the extreme low end

I’m not so sure. Based on stuff like this, we’re probably a year away from creating approximations of the original cuts of The Red Badge of Courage and The Magnificent Ambersons

a lot of ai is impressive but ive yet to see anything good, tho i think the bigger problem for people who want to use it is you just dont have enough control over the output

who cares about control over the output, it's a pair of dancing spaghettis :)
