@andrewhoyer You've got 2-3 years at most.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@timheuer We'll just close 20% of the golf courses and we'll be fine for 50 years. Or a 5% reduction in almond farming.

@LeslieBrow58567 @JG_Nuke Where's the leg for open models?

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@JG_Nuke Nope, he's just trying to torpedo his competition. Everyone is silly but him, according to Sam. He's narcissist and a sociopath.

@_coenen You don't know that - you're just making that up because you want it to be true. I've seen how my daughter uses AI to deep dive a subject. I definitely want her to have access to AI. Oh, and I was in tech.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@RaymondSultan My daughter's chats with ChatGPT are AMAZING. She asks about a topic and then does a deep dive with it. She gets links and pictures. She asks about anything that interests or confuses her, and gets an immediate answer tailored just for her. It has turbocharged her learning.

@Jake86339306 @thesupermanmx Not only that: at some level, it doesn't matter. Even if it is a "simulation", how deep does it need to be to satisfy human needs? My dog makes for a very bad human, but he still triggers enough responses for me to love him like a family member.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@thesupermanmx The old "but it doesn't have a body" canard. There will come a point when AI/robotics will be indistinguishable from humans in every respect. Think Bladerunner. Then these questions of whether they "instantiate consciousness" will be absurd, but even before then, it won't matter.

@hopes_revenge How do you plan to regulate China? I'm all ears.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@kevinnbass If this succeeds (and it won't), the future of AI will be decided in China. Are you too stupid to understand that and the consequences? I fear you are.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@cremieuxrecueil And he ignores the catastrophic consequences of a China with ASI when we have nothing. Or maybe he likes those consequences, since he is a socialist.

@WKCosmo For a moment, I thought greens were going to embrace nuclear. Forgive me for expecting rational behavior out of zealots.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@miniii_codes Right now there is real value to knowing software engineering and being able to guide AI agents on the right paths. Shortly, there won't be, as even software architecture will be subsumed by AI.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@BernieSanders Bernie uses AI to warn us about AI. OK, Boomer. We don't need a pause, we need you Boomers to get off your asses and build a bridge to a post-labor society in which EVERYONE thrives because of the successes of AI.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@ayojoestar If you're willing to go 100% nuclear power and actively advocate for it, I'm with you. If not, then we've got hard choices ahead that really could make civilization worse. Choices and opportunity cost matter.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@bendee983 There is no point in learning how to code. We have entered a new era. Knowing the fundamentals of computation and associated theory will probably not help you get a job, no matter how interesting. We are fast approaching the point when even software architects are superfluous.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@his_eminence_j I'm amazed at how AI is causing purportedly intelligent people to spout the stupidest arguments imaginable. Demand isn't there, but token consumption is up. It's impossible to make this up. I used to keep a list of accounts to poke fun at 2 years from now. Too many to bother.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@FinanceDirCFO Are you serious? This is your metric? So if OpenAI increased its casual user subscription by 50% and lowered its paying userbase by 80% you'd be happy because the ratio suited you better? Do you have a brain?

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@gnoble79 I love it when non-technical people make grand pronouncements about AI. You don't understand the first thing about it. What makes you qualified to opine? What's worse is that obviously you haven't been following recent developments. Boomer mentality.

[Monty Taroko @MontyTaroko]

@MarioNawfal If this account makes many more brain dead posts like this, I'm going to unfollow. The data center debate seems to amplify stupidity. Almond growing *dwarfs* DC usage and will *ALWAYS* dwarf it. This is beyond absurd at this point.
