So did the series actually end or did it just sort of stop?

Am I reading this right? Is he suggesting doing experiments on the suicidally depressed?

One thing he failed to mention here is that all software fails eventually. So imagine one of those fancy graphics scenes he commissioned being a 100+ car pileup because a software glitch caused a car to make a sudden right-hand turn to a street that doesn't exist.

This wasn't a free win, however. The reason Harris took over in the first place was because Biden's performance in the debate was poor enough that the Democrats thought there was no longer any chance with him, and this was already with lowering approval ratings. Had he stayed, I bet Trump's victory would have been even wider.

Awful.systems defaults to dark mode.

Building 5-7 5GW facilities full of GPUs is going to be an extremely large amount of silicon. Not to mention the 25-35 nuclear power plants they apparently want to build to power them.
So on the list of things not happening...

We could also just fluoridate the water supply, which also massively reduces cavities.

Obligatory note that, speaking as a rationalist-tribe member, to a first approximation nobody in the community is actually interested in the Basilisk and hasn’t been for at least a decade.

Sure, but that doesn't change that the head EA guy wrote an OP-Ed for Time magazine that a nuclear holocaust is preferable to a world that has GPT-5 in it.

I'm sure they will thank us once we explain that the alternative was GPT-5.

60% of the time, it works 100% of the time.

Probably would have been easier when the context window wasn't 128k.

Though what the point would be should someone actually achieve that eludes me a bit.
