Surely SamA doesn’t actually think that they’ll more than 20x their compute in a few years?
If their goal is to train say, a 100T model on the whole youtube dataset they will need 20000x more compute. And that would be my goal if I were him.

Why 20000x more compute? I thought they were at approx 1T with current compute?
Edit: looked it up. 10k+ times more for training compute. Sheesh. Get the Dyson sphere ready lol.
Mainly because global video data corpus is > 100k larger than global text corpus, so you will need to train much larger models for much longer (than current LLMs).

Couple of decades away from a Dyson Sphere? Recalibrating my trust in this man’s statements asap
Now I'm more on the side of him being delusional.
"At this point I think I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on Earth."
It's that dumbass at your work who thinks that solely because he landed a job that pays him more than their parents ever made combined in his early 20s he can school everyone on every topic imaginable, from nutrition to religion.
Him and Elon makes way more than that dumbass so ego get inflated even more.
I don't especially like Tucker Carlson, but I think the more screen time we'll give to this people with an open mic it's better for everyone to have a first hand experience of how detached from reality these people are.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
Thanks for the example.
The pleasure was all mine.

Idk, seems like we’re in a pretty shit situation politically right now because many delusional men were given an open microphone access.
As much as it would be nice to believe we lived in a world where people can discern truth from illusion, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
And, given that, it seems like the wisest course of action would be to come up with some means of forcing mass media to adhere to fact and remove from public discourse anyone who refuses to acknowledge or espouse it, lest they bend reality in their interest, but instead we decided to invent machines for manufacturing the most sophisticated lies ever seen and disseminate them to everyone.
It’s not going to end well.

How is it a wise course of action for people to force people to adhere to fact if we don't live in a world where people can discern truth? Don't you see the contradiction?
I read the parent as very subtle satire. They are following the logical conclusion of the desire to suppress disagreeable speech.
Absolutely right, and it's ubiquitous across organizations too.
I've never met an executive I respect. They're all absolute experts at appearing competent.
I mean, they're selected for it so that's not surprising
I guess the surprising part is that appearing competent is more important to shareholders than being competent
Actually checking if someone is competent requires actual work, though. Work is for lesser people. Shareholders just know if a person is or is not competent, that's why they have so much money, right?
I can never tell if these guys have come to genuinely love the smell of their own farts or if they're just constantly in sales mode. Like maybe all those hours in meetings with investors and shareholder or whatever has gotten them stuck, like your mom used to warn you about when you'd make faces at your little brother.
When your job is to constantly be making the pitch for your company, and you live in a world where every conversation you have can be news before the end of the day, the mask can never come off.
If they know it won't bring in revenue, they can't get out of "sales mode" because when the runway stops they get left out. Like musical chairs with one chair left, you want to keep the game going if you don't think you can get it. And you're filthy rich as long as the game's going.
Have you every talked to someone that’s been in sales for a long time when they’re not at work?
Some of them (almost) never turn it off. It’s unfortunate because it makes them seem completely disingenuous.
It’s almost like we’re trying to boil the planet.
That would be awesome.
The AI bubble bursts when he stumbles to get that money.
