Multiple topics here so let's break it down, topic by topic. First, back in the 90's Boeing and USAF looked at re=engining the BUFF with 757 engines from PW, the same ones as on C-17. The problem is, above a certain gross weight, there's not enough rudder to handle engine out. There are two things going on with the turbofans. First, for subsonic flight it's more efficient to move large volumes of air closer to flight speeds. Restated, higher by-pass ratios with velocities near flight velocities is more efficient than accelerating a little air very fast. Second, the higher ITT enables higher thermal efficiency in the core that extracts more energy than cores with lower ITTs. This allows for a smaller core for a given fan or a larger fan for a given core. Either way, the engine has a higher overall BPR and is more efficient. ADVENT is doing a couple of new tricks. Variable cycle was demonstrated as part of the ATF program. The new trick is a third stream that can act as by-pass or cooling air for the airframe. This adds to efficiency and adds 6th Gen capabilities. The PW1000G is a different animal. It's a conventional solution to the problem of fans and cores wanting to operate at different rotational velocities. Rolls Royce has long solved this with three spool engines. PW has attempted to solve this with a geared fan. Unfortunately, it's been marred by poor quality. It works if it's been assembled correctly. It's difficult to separate the quality issues from the maintenance issues because the first begat the second.

I'm not saying this is black and white, Aristotelian excluded middle logic. Or that the way forward is a series of on off operations like in computers. It's not the Accelerationists as On, or Doomers as Off, that have the answers. That's it's the shades of grey in the situation. Some are saying that humans should roll over and accept our fate. To be wiped out willingly by AI and robots. Others say we should get rid of AI, roll back to the 2000 level and go it alone with human brains. An unsafe ASI could wipe out humanity by definition. The AI experts saying this, including Elon, Sam and Dario can't just be dismissed. Others say we might or might not get some level of abundance and longevity, but they don't know how. So these are all shades of grey. The most sustainable course will likely be tight control of powerful AIs by governments. Like Dario says, like it or not. There will be the usual accusations of throttling innovations, that deregulation and decentralization is best. Or as Reagan said the government is the problem not the solution. But this never works in reality. Crypto was the decentralized and deregulated dream, but it turned into massive fraud and rug pulls. When all the crooks and criminals using it were taken out, there was almost nothing left. The problem is what humans always assume with technology, that everyone is nice. Regulations and government control are needed to stop the baddies not the goodies. If there were only goodies then regulations wouldn't be needed. Many reading this would have lost money in the 2008 Great Recession. That was another grand experiment in deregulation by the Fed Chair Alan Greenspan. He idolized Ayn Rand's and refused to regulate the shadow banking system. Then it exploded with fraud and nearly destroyed the whole global economy. The issue with AI is the same, what would bad humans do with it? Also would would bad AIs do? But many think that they are nice humans, so everyone else involved is going to be nice too. That's where the accelerationist arguments are catastrophically wrong. It's all "trust me bro". SBF said that too, so did Madoff, etc. Many will dismiss this argument, that this time the baddies will stay away from AI. But they are already using LLMs for hacking and phishing. These crooks are sociopaths, they don't feel anything about killing everyone. You say: "It’s whether top-down regulation by governments (who are often slow, captured, or geopolitically motivated) is an effective or net-positive response, versus accelerating safety through open competition, transparency, and rapid iteration." This is the whole argument about free markets being automatically self regulating. It's never been true, it is taught in every economics course that it's not true. Usually it's the ones who want to make money who say this, increasingly crooks and frauds with deregulation. The Great Depression proved it was false. Macroeconomics is based on it being false. Every country that has tried an unregulated free market has collapsed. But the rich got richer, which was probably the point. So your argument here has no basis in reality at all. The goodies don't win against the baddies without the police. Any deregulated free market gets choked with crooks and frauds until it collapses. But you reverse the conclusions reached in mainstream economics: "The evidence so far is that heavy regulation risks handing advantages to less scrupulous players (including adversaries) while slowing the beneficial applications that could help solve humanity’s biggest problems. Open, local, and auditable systems may ultimately be safer than fragile centralized ones with remote kill-switches." So the argument basically is, that the police might be partially corrupt so we should Defund The Police. That didn't work out well with George Floyd. After the Great Depression all this nonsense about markets self regulating was tossed out. The strict regulations led to the biggest boom in US history. It is only when they started deregulating that the fraud starting collapsing the economy again. It started with the 1970s Savings and Loans fraud, then the Great Recession. So this argument about deregulating and decentralizing AI is all nonsense. So why is it coming back, after having been refuted so many times? Because the rug pullers make a lot of money from the rug pullees. A lot of the AI argument is that it's too late or it's inevitable. But that's implicitly conceding they don't care if it is bad for humanity. It's also the Too Big To Fail argument from the Great Recession. That the banks that nearly destroyed the world with fraud were too important, so they should be bailed out. Now Open AI is trying the same. As it stands, this AI economy is another massive fraud and rug pull on humanity, perhaps the greatest yet. If it's not, then problems have to be solved that they haven't started on yet. The jobs would all be gone, with nothing but hand waving about these new jobs. All the money goes to the AI bros, the rest are rug pulled. There will be no UBI, they will call it socialism and get out of it. Your analogy with nuclear weapons is in the shades of grey. Just today the US and Iran showed this. They may have reached an agreement on Iran's 60% enriched uranium. Ted Postol has been saying the Iranians could enrich this to weapons grade in 2 weeks with a normal house's power, and fit enough centrifuges in the living room. Also the Iranian foreign minister had a call with the Pakistani Prime Minister 2 weeks ago on an open line. He said Iran already has nukes and could test one openly. Then Rubio was called who told Trump. The Pakistanis or North Koreans may have sold Iran nukes. In any case the AI companies have spent far more on it than was needed in developing nuclear weapons. Also they used government research for it. The arguments for deregulation usually come down to a few options. One is that there isn't much crime in our neighborhood, so what do we need the police for? Everyone is nice here. Well we saw what Defund The Police did. The other is that the criminals are thinking, how do we make money? We try to get rid of the police, saying they aren't necessary.

A HEAT DOME OVER SOUTH EAST PAKISTAN HAS TEMPERATURES ABOVE 50°C. Under global warming Pakistan's temperature is increasing at an accelerating rate. Note- It does not take a high warming to push Pakistan beyond bearable temperatures. Before long, the heat will be disastrous for Pakistan's economy.

THE THREAT Sperm counts in the industrialized world are down about 50% since the 1970s. And the decline is accelerating. Men's testosterone is dropping every generation, same age, same genes. Women are facing PCOS, fertility issues, and earlier menopause at rates we've never seen. This isn't bad luck, bad health, or evolution. It's exposure to chemicals.

YES YES YES YES YES! It’s insane. @united is BRILLIANT for having prioritized accelerating the deployment of @Starlink on its entire fleet. I will no longer mind being in the air. Long flight in economy? It’s OK. Now if you want another plane hack buy @XREAL_Global One Pro AR glasses — plug them into phone/laptop/iPad USB-C port and you now have an IMAX-size screen at 35,000 feet. Couple that with Starlink and you’re watching huge movies or have the largest, widest work screen in existence.

Wanna see more things like this, everywhere Explain to me how LLM's are sufficient for accelerating technology implementation, as opposed to encapsulating the IP in a ready-to-deploy form that is openly licensed to others Otherwise I don't want to hear "singularity" ever again
