> You could say people like Henry Ford are on his level Since Tesla was started, they've sold ~9.6 million cars. In that same time period, Ford has sold 100 million. Musk is no Henry Ford, i…

Yep, we're cool with it because changing the clocks twice a year is ridiculous . People should live in an environment they're comfortable in. We should also push for a culture of not having…

Sales engineers do post-sales work. Typically if they're going to do a significant amount of real work, they'd just be called "consultants".

And those people are optimizing for money, "prestige" or something other than having a healthy schedule. We definitely should not dictate the entire country's sleep around west coast fi…

If you wake up in the dark you are ensured to use the maximum amount of daylight possible. You also have the added benefit of being able to sleep until you need to get up instead of being woken up ear…

Absolute classic. If anyone is interested, the Footloose soundtrack (which has Holding Out For a Hero on it) is probably one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. The movie sucks but damn, this s…

The prior art you state is exactly why I think this is almost certainly happening. One difference is that a CEO cannot set off an atomic bomb, but they can use an uncensored AGI model. The side-effect…

I have to disagree. For the sake of argument say Elon Musk had his own personal, uncensored SOTA model. He has the cash and politics to make that a realistic goal. Would people want him to have that? …
