@cryptorover @grok is it true SpaceX has accumulated 43bn in deficits?

[Martin Kølbæk @MartinKoelbaek]

@elonmusk @TheZvi @grok is it true Tesla has no safety team?

If so, and following Conway's law, where do you draw the line between what's infra for everyone and what's delegated to teams? For example, couldn't a similar argument be made to compliance teams in finance?

@EYakoby @grok please clear up this thread by stating how many Pakinstani live in Denmark, their share of population and their TFR. Then, for good order's sake, repeat that exercise for all Muslim minorities and provide a 30 year projection on the demography

@aivanlogic @grok did a16z call SEO dead?

@alexandr_wang @Meta @natfriedman @grok are the rumors about the $100M signing bonuses true?

@kimmonismus @grok @AskPerplexity physicians considerably worse than the worst of all models - is thay real?

@cvpayne @grok is it true that sales plunged 97.5%? If so, what are the known causes?

[Martin Kølbæk @MartinKoelbaek]

@rubenhassid Your premise that AI should be optimized for what workers desire, rather than for being maximally truth seeking (~useful), is flawed.

It's that Henry Ford dilemma all over: had he asked what people wanted, they'd say better saddles and harnesses. Thank God he didn't listen.

@DrEliDavid @grok why would they give up this asset now? What caused them to break cover?

@bryan_johnson I see an incorrect graph. Life expectancy in 10000 BCE was not 10 years, but closer to 30.

Doesn't invalidate the point I imagine you're trying to make - just pointing this out as it may help you make it.

@bryan_johnson @grok is it true average life expectancy was 10 years in 10000 BCE? If so, what did the reproductive cycle look like?

@PawelHuryn What set of values would AI engineers give a model that would incentivize it to "protect its existence"? More importantly, why?

@MatthewBerman You didn't mention, but I assume room is also dark? As in, pitch black?

Does your family also have a history of anxiety?

@stephsmithio 95% of your result is already determined by the decisions you made in the weeks and months past. So just enjoy it. Soak in the atmosphere, high five people on the way, cheer on those who struggle alongside you.

@elonmusk If the future is unmanned, why did Trump.just pour $20bn and 5 years into a crewed F-47 program?

@MattWalshBlog While TFR is clearly a significant societal problem, what evidence do you have that financial incentives are impactful? Consider for example that sub-Saharan Africa is by far the most fertile. In OECD countries, religion and family values seem to be the main drivers.

[Martin Kølbæk @MartinKoelbaek]

@PeterDiamandis When that frontier is conquered, what's the first question you'd ask the dolphins?

[Martin Kølbæk @MartinKoelbaek]

Judging from the fact that almost all top fertility rate countries are in sub-Saharan Africa, it looks like low age and dependency on kids for survival are main drivers. In OECD countries where those conditions are not met, top countries are religious and focus on family.

But yes, it's a multivariate problem.

@therealkingshay I know very few folks who don't.
