Isn't this analysis orthogonal to pg's claim that the wealth tax is taking away X% of your startup equity?
Yes, if your startup is growing by 10% YoY your wealth is still going up even under the tax. However instead of you owning A% at the end, you only own <<A% because you've been selling equity every year to pay the government. Just look at your first plot between 1% and 3% tax. A delta of 2% tax results in losing 70% of your value.
Your post seems to suggest the idea "Since you're making so much anyway it's ok to take away most of it." Though of course there is a balance, I think this kind of trade would greatly reduce risk-taking and entrepreneurship.
GPT-3 is not that expensive. Estimating from the paper, to train the model, the GPU hardware costs were a few million dollars, and the electricity costs were probably under 100k. This is totally feasible for many companies today, especially if the hardware is a fixed cost and can be reused for training multiple models.
And as mentioned elsewhere, inference for a trained model is much, much cheaper.
Hi HN! We are a pair of students at MIT trying to measure how well humans can differentiate between real and (current state-of-the-art) GAN-generated faces, for a class project. We're concerned with GAN images' potential for fake news / ads, and we believe it would be good to know, empirically, how often people get fooled under different image exposure times.
