No. Barrels of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) are mostly hauled from India or China, then formulated into pills or whatever, this goes especially for generic medicines. There is some american manufacture of APIs, but these tend to be on more expensive side (biologicals or small molecule drugs under patent). Inputs for these APIs also tend to be made in India or China

i meant more like scamming true believers out of their money like happens with crypto, this is cfar deal currently. spam, as something nobody should or wants to spend their creative juices on, or for that matter interact in any way, seems a natural fit for automation with llms

“A lot of the early Rationalists thought it was important to tolerate weird people, a lot of weird people encountered that tolerance and decided they’d found their new home,” he wrote in a message to me, “and some of those weird people turned out to be genuinely crazy and in a contagious way among the susceptible.”

it's sorta impressive that they're treating their hardware worse than cryptobros then

isn't openai silicon breaking all the time because it's so overheated? so they have to replace it a lot of the time? maybe it's only good for some months

nah they'll just stop and do nothing. they won't be able to do anything without chatgpt telling them what to do and think

i think that deflation of this bubble will be much slower and a bit anticlimatic. maybe they'll figure a way to squeeze suckers out of their money in order to keep the charade going

It's not. He-3 is supposed to be maybe one day used in fusion power, but we're talking about tons of this stuff. Not only scale is off, also He-3 burning requires much higher temperature than D-T fusion, and this is just around in next 20 years pinky promise

People who think that it's a big deal also take Ray Kurzweil seriously, it's scifi noise

In practical terms, when DHS wanted to get He-3 neutron sensors, they bought out entire global supply for multiple years, for an application where only grams are needed and it's not used up. It's made from decay of tritium currently and it'd be less energy intensive to make it the usual way
