Human appetite for more knows no bounds. Imagine what we’d have to do for everyone to have a zettaflop. We won’t have the resources for it. So guys like this one are in competition with normal people who just need a little bit of compute, so that he can feel powerful with a million Claudes. Sad.

For one thing, most news websites would have to load at least 10,000x as much useless javascript to achieve the same performance.

Web devs: hold my beer

Soon every website will have an LLM entirely in JS that will create the React code for the rest of the website, build it, deploy it, then create the article on the fly from a prompt, and present it.

Oof. You may have just named the next frontier in our becoming unmoored from base reality. That's gonna be a gold rush. And I hate that this just gave me a brutally demented idea for a dating platform. I have a conscience, damnit.

Electron apps will expand to fill the available space!

Poor mother Earth, this race is unsustainable. In order to satiate guys like geohot we are pillaging the natural resources, destroying ecosystems, fucking up the climate.

I think i know two or three other people who are much, much more to blame... putting it on one dude is weird.

I apologise for not being very clear, it's on all of us - including myself.

who's talking about owning a zettaflop on earth? The second part of sustainable growth is growth after all

why do you think we are stuck on Earth?

I kind of agree with you there is only enough area for solar for 150 million people (even if we assume all land is solarable) but there is no reasons we couldn't eventually have everyone with a milion Claudes with fusion.

Edit: There is a problem with that - 10MW * 8 billion is something like half the solar power from the sun which implies wasted heat will heat earth considerably.

Sometimes I really don't get why my comment is downvoted.
