- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 19 hours ago:
Well, you could get a 60W LED, but it would be extremely bright. Generally, a household bulb is a 60W incandescent, an 18W CFL, or a 9W LED.

A lightbulb for an hour is about 60 Wh, assuming you’re talking about an incandescent one.

Yeah, I think LLMs are close to their peak. Any new revolutionary developments in LLMs will probably be in efficiency rather than capability. Something that can actually think in a real sense will probably happen eventually, though, and unless it’s even more absurdly resource-intensive it’ll probably replace LLMs in everything but autocomplete (since they’re legitimately good at that).

That wouldn’t change anything in this specific case, since you can’t buy the whole anymore either.

How would you even start to enforce those laws against a company that no longer exists? It’s one thing to prevent the AI companies from selling a product that relies on continual support in the first place, but these earbuds will work until the batteries degrade (and theoretically longer if you can manage to replace them without destroying the things) with or without the company’s existence. The fact that the user lost the case with no company to replace it doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of thing that you can really address legally, unless you make the companies put a certain stock of parts in escrow or something, which seems potentially clear more wasteful than the status quo.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 1 month ago:
I’ll ponder it, but only from a safe distance. It’s important to make sure that the orb doesn’t ponder you back.
- Comment on xAI to pay Telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app 2 months ago:
If it had any value, Telegram would be paying Elmo for the privilege instead of the other way around.

- Comment on Musk’s Colossus is fully operational with 200,000 GPUs backed by Tesla batteries — Phase 2 to consume 300 MW, enough to power 300,000 homes 3 months ago:
300 MW isn’t enough to power 300k homes, that’s only 1 kW/home. A microwave alone uses that, let alone a refrigerator. A single space heater is 1.5 kW.

Until it falsely alerts on someone they don’t like, and then they’ll beat the shit out of that person.
