Well, sorry, the point is that if no one believed him, it's clear he misspoke because he is highly competent. People are not jailed for misspeaking.

Also, any kind of charge for securities violation requires more than misleading public statements. There needs to be intention to deceive and intention to capitalize on that deceit, probably neither are here either

It would be debatable if we didn't have the Commander in Chief we have now is very blatant and open about demanding things and providing political favor in return constantly

> This admission makes it clear that the AI spends are being made up not based on business value/demand...

Well, isn't that okay? All the companies are racing to capture a nascent market. It would make sense to spend beyond current demand and even projected 5Y demand if it gives you a larger share of a market that might last 20+ years

IMHO, this indicates to me that these numbers are more like a marketing exercise.

The problem with corruption at high level is that it forces everything down the chain to be also corrupt even if they don't want to.

I think presidential power must be limited, and ways to limit sycophants in government needs to be introduced. May be sometime in the future...

When you are having dinner with the emperor, of course it's just good marketing to say he's wearing clothes

Pretty sure most of the Mag 7 have on paper already north of $100B in AI infra spend this upcoming year.

It's a separate suit being wages against Meta and OpenAI etc.

There's piracy, then there's making available a model to the public which can regurgitate copyrighted works or emulate them. The latter is still unsettled

Scanning books for indexes is fair use. Very notably providing access to those books to the public for free was not fair use...

> the training itself is fair use

Sure, training by itself isn't worth anything.

Distributing and collecting payment for the usage of a trained model which may violate copyright, etc. that's still an open legal question and worth billions as well.

The college should no longer accept essays written outside a controlled environment as credit for any course. Simple, everyone will be happy

> The things they thought were important or difficult or impressive are no longer any of those things. Regurgitating information on a test or generating prose from the notes you took in class are tasks which are easy to stereotype, and now readily automated.

Arithmetic is automatic, but you still have to learn how to do it, in an environment without a calculator, first.

Memorization has been solved by computers with infinite memory for at least a decade, but learning how to, building the muscle for, and yes even memorizing things that you can just look up online are still valuable in today's world because they work together with the other parts of your mental muscle and complement them.

Like, a set of wheels and a dolly can replace a lot of heavy lifting, but it's still helpful and healthy to lift weights!

> it seems not the end of the world when most high schooler in US cannot do complicated arithmetic quickly and accurately without a calculator.

You do realize those students learn arithmetic in an environment where calculators are not allowed right?
