It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

Lol, but there are lots of applications for nondeterministic computing that are not LLMs. Some of the famous-y ones would be like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is used in reinforcement learning (e.g., AlphaGo) to explore game trees probabilistically, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), where you use randomness to sample from complex distributions (e.g., Bayesian inference), and zero-knowledge proofs, where you use randomness to verify information without revealing it. You could probably get an LLM to make a longer list :)

This is it literally. (granted I’m sure there are other use cases, but you know they’re following those AI-dollars)

A combination of strong state level incentives from China, Korea, and Taiwan, disinterest in super expensive R&D by GlobalFoundaries after they were spun out of AMD, and decades-long mismanagement at Intel.
