Thank you for realizing what most AI fans fails to realize!
60 billion is a pretty reasonable ballpark for what AI companies are making. It's closer to 50b annualized (so 35b for real) in 2025 , but same ballpark. What they're actually SPENDING is an entirely different number. The 600 billion is a quick-and-dirty extrapolation from this sum of capital expenditure by the 5 biggest AI companies. Note that OpenAI direct spending isn't in there, because they're not reporting it, but OpenAI is mostly Microsoft.
That brings us to a quick 600b in 2 years in expenses, which are climbing, and some 50b in income, with absolutely zero profit. And that's a problem, because all that capex is not infrastructure, it's mostly consumable GPUs that will be worn out in a few years and insane salaries.
So, in 2024 and 2025, humans will spend something like 600 billion of LLMs. That's about as much money as the entire Apollo program plus 2 entire International Space Stations for 40 years plus 5 copies of the longest bridge in the world, and then you'll have money left to end world hunger for a year.
But instead, we have funny pictures, hallucinations and a semi-ok-ish summary machine that only rarely inserts random phrases. With possibly the worst RoI since Enron
I doubt these types of drones have complex detonators. They might be armed before take-off, meaning they'll probably explode on impact when shot down. Destroying the warhead in the air is MUCH harder than just breaking the drone enough to crash it.
I'm a very firm believer in the fact that safety features should be annoying and uncomfortable. Your lane assist needs to beep loudly every time it moves you back, thereby not only keeping you safe, but indirectly conditioning you to keep between the lanes to avoid the annoying beep.
Sucks to be this guy, but he's obviously not a native Russian, and chose to live in Russia after they had invaded Ukraine. I can't really bring myself to feel even remotely bad for him.
This is a famous example from when they didn't have alarms. The don't just happily wobble across the room.
The safety shielding in the unit did not contain all the metal fragments. The half-inch thick sliding steel door on top of the unit buckled allowing fragments, including the steel rotor top, to escape (Image 3). Fragments ruined a nearby refrigerator and an ultra-cold freezer in addition to making holes in the walls and ceiling. The unit itself was propelled sideways and damaged cabinets and shelving that contained over a hundred containers of chemicals.
I mean, so does any weapon, literally down to a knife.
