@sertalpbilal Thanks for the good explanation. I am of those who sigh every year when we get the "luck" debate!

I'd love to hear from you and your team where you think we are with the EV + Solvers approach. Are we near the maximum performance or do you see big gains to come?

A malevolent AI would convince us to build massive compute infrastructure to grow its power. Wait a minute…

[Mark Barrington @markbarrington]

We used to worry that a misaligned AI would consume the world’s resources making paper clips.

After 20 years in the US can I still drive on the left in the UK?

Yes, absolutely no problem at all.

As I approach the car do I know which side is the drivers side?

No, I have absolutely no clue. None at all 😂
