I shared a link to "the openai navier stokes solution makes funding basic research look like a bargain" and someone sent me this: dyson had 661 engineers over 6 years write 16 million lines of code to make an AI toothbrush that can shoot water in the gaps between your teeth but not on your teeth.

Can you imagine how much human suffering could have been alleviated by all the money wasted on developing this single AI toothbrush

@jonny "By 2030 we won't have commercial fusion power....but we'll have an AI toothbrush that leaks images of our teeth to the internet."

@jonny Dyson is owned by evil so anything they burn on R&D on dumb shit decreases evil's profit so I guess it's accidentally a relative good

@jonny oh it gets worse I literally knew what you were talking about because I got blasted advertisements for this on the London Underground today.

16 million lines of code. That's a lot of bugs ... to put in one's mouth.
