Thanks to you Aaron, I now have the Bee Gees stuck in my head: It’s just your vibe workin’, you’re telling me lies, yeah; vibe workin’, you wear a disguise…

Yes but if it increases my work output by 200% then I'll have 120% more correct stuff and infinity% more incorrect stuff

Yo Excel, I’m feeling bar-charty rn. Hit me up with some good bars bro

Ooh, it might be time to rebuild my personal R package for making nice charts

I didn’t weigh them but I think you’re right. They did look slightly better quality than the loose ones, but definitely not 4x nicer

Apparently you can, it is $1.23 PER ONION

Sorry, I read it wrong last night. The $200m co-investment fund is a separate thing from Investment Boost and it does sound like a fossil fuel subsidy to me.

Ah right thanks. I’m not sure if I’d call Investment Boost a subsidy, it’s more like a time-shift of tax obligations. It would apply to other energy investments too eg solar, so doesn’t seem like it would favour fossil fuels.

From their boards' point of view, wouldn't reinvesting dividends or taking on new capital effectively be the same choice? If so, I'm not sure if they would choose to take on more capital even if given the ability to do so, unless forced to by regulation or competition.

I don't know the details of that $200m but public subsidy of fossil fuels doesn't make any sense

I think there is some danger of hindsight bias in evaluating whether the AI investment was rational given expectations, but the real world limits of the technology seem clear enough now that current levels of investment look crazy to me
