50,000 NVIDIA chips (with 41,000 state-of-the-art GB300s) would make Armenia’s compute cluster larger than anything in the EU, Japan, South Korea, India, or anywhere else outside the US/China/Gulf triad — by a wide margin. This is historic for Armenia. Incredible.
context:
it’s still a very small fraction of the global compute with vast majority of it (~90%) concentrated in the US and China.
only 10% of allocated compute is reserved for local companies — 90% goes straight to the American enterprises.
4B investment doesn’t exactly mean 4B investment to Armenian economy as it primarily goes to NVIDIA and other American tech suppliers.
Real question: can the government and diaspora convert hosting foreign compute into full fledged ecosystem in the long run

Ego blocks. Humility unlocks.
The potential long term value an individual can extract from artificial intelligence is capped by pre-existing cognitive habits. Democratised access to AI is, in practice, a metacognitive inequality amplifier. At the same time, the specific dispositions that AI tends to reward are learnable if a user shows willingness to learn and confront his own ignorance.

So often we sleepwalk through our lives. Consider how different your experience of the world might be if you engaged in every activity with the attention you might give to landing a plane.”

@ Ruben Simonyan, Deputy Minister of High Tech industry — spoke about building a startups ecosystem around the new gigantic data center.
Robert Kiyosaki sold tens of millions of copies of “Rich dad poor dad” despite having no verifiable investment success, just a verifiable corporate bankruptcy
Paul Graham has a short Wikipedia page, but he’s worth billions and has had huge global impact through Y Combinator. They have funded over 5000 idea-stage startups —> ultimately creating over 100 billion dollars companies including Coinbase, Stripe and Airbnb
Anyone can read hundreds of Paul’s essays for free. However, one must pay to read Kiyosaki’s books. Guess what sells.

What are you currently obsessed with that is totally unrelated to your job?
quite tired today, so i decided to "rent" a thinking from these guys to make a post which is basically a generic shallow garbage with no original thoughts. i guess it could be an efficient way to appear as a smart guy — nearly zero effort results in a, more or less, decent output.
*Quotes from michael_vassar and Robert Miles on "Knowing About Biases Can Hurt People" — LessWrong
my questions:
would you prefer to agree with the peers in the same room or to present an opposing view?
do you think it's more ethical to support actions of your country than to criticise them?
what's more moral to you - to follow your religion or to question its dogmas?
do you think it's more respectful to agree with your parent/mentor/professor than to ask epistemically "uncomfortable" questions?
Humans aren't just not perfect Bayesians. Very very few of us are even Bayesian wannabes. In essence, everyone who thinks that it is more moral/ethical to hold some proposition than to hold it's converse is taking some criterion other than appearent truth as normative with respect to the evaluation of beliefs.
'taking apparent truth as normative', so I'd call it the only position of that format that is Bayesian.
