Here’s an app that I’d say is close to finding the line “Wanna see your crush kiss you? AI has got you covered” $70 per year or $10 per week, if you’re wondering (no, I didn’t buy!) 😂

"Humans might go through a "main character energy" period of time. As you watch this final flowering of humanity & birthing of the machine intelligence, you see greatness in human effort. It will be a heroic time period. Or a villainous time period."

To my pleasant surprise, even as an OpenAI employee, Dean W. Ball will retain the ability to write publicly & speak freely about AI policy. Case in point: OpenAI did not ask to review and had not seen this podcast prior to publication. Bullish!

"Driving a car ~20 miles emits something like 10,000 chatbot prompts. If I avoid a single car trip, I get 10,000 free prompts. Chatbots might on net reduce emissions." Andy Masley on why Bernie's moratorium on data centers could be a climate mistake

"Broad diffusion is really important. I want Fable – and better models – in the hands of all sorts of people. That's how you keep the balance. Odds of really bad outcomes like nationalization go up if diffusion is not as broad." Dean W. Ball, on the eve of joining @openai

"Golf courses in Arizona use ~30X as much water as all data centers in Arizona. Best I can tell, data centers are generating ~50X as much revenue per gallon used. So, if I could close all golf courses in Arizona and replace them with data centers ... that would generate billions of dollars in revenue, without increasing water bills. I'm from a not super well-off area that is left behind by industry. I would be excited if a medium-sized data center were built in the vicinity that the town could then tax. I think that would be net good." - Andy Masley explains how building & taxing data centers can help revitalize many parts of America, with minimal environmental impact

I agree with Zvi Mowshowitz: it's flagrant, shameful defection to focus one's effort on escaping the "permanent underclass" And it won't work anyway! Do you really think a few database records will save you when most humans aren't economically productive?
