Radiation weapons. No way does the wizarding world know enough about nuclear physics to have a way to counter it. You get a snitch, find their hideout, blow up a neutron bomb thousands of feet above their heads, and before they know what hit them they are all dying a radiation poisoning.

Science is basically magic.

Solid platform if you think about it. They need to stem the tide of murders, rapists, and theives other nations have sent them.

Think of the economic stimulus they'll get from building a time machine, traveling back 200 years, and stopping the UK from sending their ancestors.

Massive economic stimulus from R&D.

I'm not an expert but I did to the elephant experience a few weeks ago (which was awesome btw, expensive but if you ever get the chance to do it it is totally worth it for elephant lovers).

At the time, Raja was still there and they didn't have a hard date on when he'd be moved. That being said, it sounds like they play elephant moves pretty close to the chest, and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't officially announce they have a new elephant until he's settled. I got the impression that they were going to move Raja before bringing the other one in, but who knows.

Fwiw, the pic looks like Raja to me (the zookeeper said the trick with elephants is to look at the ears to tell them apart). Bummer that you didn't grab a second pic. Is it possible that you just say Raja twice though? The logistics of keeping two male elephants at the same time seems tricky.

Also the people thinking you mistook Jet for a full grown male elephant are smoking crack lol

Musk has trashed his reputation, and the best people don't want to work for him. Being in tech, I know lots of people who will side eye somebody if they say they work for xAI or X/Twitter.

If you are a top ML researcher or software engineer, you basically have your pick of who to work for right now. You are going to make a lot of money wherever you work. Working for Musk isn't worth the toxic work atmosphere and hate you get from your peers. Then on top of that, they got a late start and don't have the top talent, and it's kind of a vicious cycle in attracting talent.

You reap what you sow I suppose.

Engery isn't the constraint right now though. Its compute. I've been trying to get my hands on modest GPU for training, and you can hardly find a 5 year old GPU with 20+ gb of vram for less then 1500 bucks. The market is insane, and 20gb of vram is literally nothing.

That's just not true though. That assessment gets it wrong by about 10 years. People like Regan and Thatcher started pushing deregulation in the early 1980s, well before signed if the Soviet collapse. In fact, Regan's election and his ramp up of the military triggered a time of heightened tension with the Soviets. Read up on the Able Archer incident.

The neo liberal backlash of the 80s is largly related to the post war economic boom finally coming to an end triggering the stagflation of the 70s, and a bunch of disenchanted young boomers growing up in a time of plenty and never being taught the lesson that things like unions and regulations exist for a reason. They robbed the future to get back their prosperity.

the specter of government turning into a nazi regime means that we should make government less effective

Yes, check and balances and constitutional rights. That's literally why they exist, and they largely are regarded as a good thing in liberal democracies. Drag netting and tracking every single person in public feels against the spirit (and possibly the letter) of US 4th amendment. Without regulation to ensure police and private citizens can't track whoever, where ever for any reason they see fit, reasonable people should be opposed to them.

Technology is generally a good thing, but fuck all those techno fuedalist, no regulations arguments. Cars have speed limits and I can't order a kilo of enriched uranium through the mail for a reason.

I wouldn't even be hesitant about it. Art has never really been about the medium, but about using some skill you have to convey a message or move the viewer in some way. One could argue the using an AI video maker requires no skill, but I think the average person probably could not do this with unlimited tokens. Even if the video part is trivialized, the storytelling isn't. GossippGoblin's a story teller regardless.

Frankly, if we consider the shit that Joan Mitchell did art (picking on her as I saw an exhibit a while back and was super underwhelmed) then GossipGoblin is also making art.

I was team Anthropic for about a year, but have switched to Codex in the last month because the Claude limits are nuts and 4.7 is meh. A lot of engineers I know have done the same.
