I like the idea of more reccurance in the transformer level. Chain of thought always seemed so clunky. Its just not the way the human brain processes information. Its an extrmeely crude approximation at best

it is what I do to solve hard problems through.

easy stuff happens by itself, but with a system large enough you need a scratchpad and a rubber duck.

A debate between grossly incompetent against grossly immoral, honestly.

You should ignore anything LessWrong or OpenAI says and do your own research.

To add a bit more constructive feedback, think of the "AI cornucopia" and "Superintelligence destroys humanity" as opposite ends of all possible outcomes distribution (low probability event).

The most likely one is the "business as usual, but with AI" - some things will get better, some things will get worse, but overall state of affairs will remain mostly the same.

But will “business as usual, but with AI” justify the current capital expenditures? I think the market is pricing things as being closer to “AI cornucopia”.

What happens if/when we don’t deliver?

Market bubble will pop, not the first time and not the last, most likely after OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs.
