Top comment: @barrowjoseph “Once we had processed the laws, the question was: how to analyze them. One idea I really like is @TheStalwart's http://Havelock.ai, where he distills pairwise comparisons from an LLM + TrueSkill into a BERT model to score orality.”

"I'd say the economy is 10 times the its current size in 10 years. Greater than. I feel like that's actually a fairly comfortable prediction." "Obviously if there's like World War III or something. that that could put a kink in those plans or those expectations. In the absence of World War II, if current trends continue, I would say the the economy 10xes in 10 years and have a base on the moon."”

Top post: @cloneofsimo “> Spend 150k$ immediately -> this is same as spending 7.5k$/year implicitly assuming 5~6% T-Bill. Close to 12k$ if you typically invest in S&P 500. > 2$/hour electricity price (this is true in south korea, seoul, can be different for other part of the world). -> this is straight up 4.5k$ / year, if you work 40hours/week. > insanely hot living room, occasionally electricity shortage, cost of installation (rent isnt free) So You are looking at 12k~15k$ / year + your inconvenience. But yes, it is true you get to never pay the cloud again (until GLM stop releasing models or tinybox breaks, which id assume happens in 10 years max)”
