I think its fun. Whenever i log into it on a friday and a recruiter writes me, i tell them my dream salary and to 99% they are polite, say sorry for their 'low offer' and tell me they will get back when they have something like it.
And if they ever send me something interesting, i still could apply.
It shows longterm persistency and character or in case of Elon Musk the opposite.
Together with all his wins and fails, it clearly shows that Elon Musk not an genius but more lucky opportunist. For sure not an idiot of course.
Follow the money is for sure a good point though
He still can be right.
But yeah its clear that xAI is a trainwreck and Space-X is weird cult hype.
How is he less relevant than Elon Musk?
He co-founded linkedin a platform every one knows.
Elon Musk invented the Cybertruck and has a weird cult following through Tesla.
i mean Elon Musk called some of his kids this:
X Æ A-Xii Musk, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and Techno Mechanicus Musk
What opinion should i give more value?
Never heard that.
A world model builds itself a model of the world in which it can simulate an outcome.
In best case its not depending on robotic, otherwise it will be quite limiting for what you can use it.
You can imagine what happens when you write your boss a very inappropriate email, you don't need robotic arms for it.
It clearly shows that the billions investedin xAI are not returning what they should with the product they invested in.
Space-X invests a lot into R&D for Starship which they need to make starlink scale.
They also need it to at least show that in theory they can put a datacenter into space (which is stupid because it would take 300 starship flights to bring up their small colossus dc into space which is only 200MwH).
They also increase the price of Starlink, have to shell out money for cursor.
They overbuyed because it clearly shows that Grok is not frontier or people don't like to use it for other reasons.
Of course Musk has to invest, if what he thinks matters and is susccessful is another story like Cybertruck or his Datacenter idea or his dysonsphere 'idea'.
The coding index is at 51 while the others are at 75
For sure but a weird comparision. These are completly different technologies.
I don't think a optics engineere can train a frontier model.
But also a frontier model requires a lot of compute.
There is no stranded energy.
Stranded energy is basically energy which should be used but its commercially a lot more efficient to do energy abitrage with a global finance market with a local energy market.
Thats the biggest shit of bitcoin ever.
And no 3% for provoding gambling and only a small amount of money value is a bad joke. 3% is not nothing.
We increased the climate change rate per decade from 0.2 to 0.4 due to the amount of co2. Everything hurts us here.
Bitcoin is responsible for a gas powerp lant in NYC being turned on again. It only mines bitcoins now. It creates just heat and co2.
Bitcoin is responsible for power stealing across the planet.
The pencil was made with 'work'. You exchange existing work with 1 fiat.
If you do not consume this work, you can exchange it back.
No Mythos is probably a 10 Trillion Parameter model, Fable is Mythos with filtering (perhaps a small LLM in-front or finetuned) and Opus is a 1-2 Trillion parameter Model.
Opus 5 might become a distillation from Mythos.
Large entities (companies right?) take that very serious. Its the other way around, small companies might not be aware of.
Nonetheless, i have seen in a very small company that we changed the behaviour of a camera which then only turned on when the action expected it and not before.
And in a very big company you alway have to fullfill it as a product standard.
As far as i know, your Visa provider pays for the bank ATM fee and they do this with the motivation that you pay with your Credit Card which then basically makes the merchents pay it through the credit card transaction fee which at the end you pay anyway.
I do use my credit card everywere and i'm sure ingdiba is also saving money due to not having offices/ATMs everywhere, but i wouldn't mind if something in the background changes and we can replace Visa/Mastercard with something from the EU.
EU is very good, most of the time.
Besides this GDPR Website thing, usb-c is great, energy standards are great, etc.
Your liability comment would mean though that the EU should use it and USA shouldn't.
EU has low fees for transfer, USA has high fees for transfer but apparently its easier for an US Citizen to dispute something.
At least as far as i'm aware, if i send money to someone else, its gone.
Whats that artifical cap?
I checked the internet and it seems el salvador uses bitcoin while in lebanon there is a mix of bitcoin + Lightning and Tether.
Tether is investing in US Bonds but 10% seem to be Bitcoin.
And they repeat the same wrong garbage.
At least the pressure on the financial market, GPU shortage through AI, AI we have a realistic chance that crashes more and more.
Only virtual fiat is useful everything is garbage.
The stable coins in question are absolut idiotic. You can't just have billions and trillions of dollars/euros/fiat in some bank and not do anything with it while everyone else is using your stable coins.
It motivates these companes to invest the fiat they have to hold, which adds risk which wasn't there before.
Just make it a real digital fiat from central banks.
But than what did you win? Instead of having your banking ssystem in place with certifications, bank licenses etc. you have nothing to replace it with just bare digital fiat.
Smart contracts don't work.
Now what? a new whole parallel ecosystem? For what?
I don't think so as smart contracts have huge issues unsolved.
It also doesn't solve a problem we haven already solved; If i buy something, companies are quite aware how this default contract works and what are up and downside of doing business with someone.
In smart contracts you remove the trust these people build and now come up with another mechanism. The latest i'm aware of is blocking capital from both sides until transaction is done. This binds a lot more capital on both sides which might be a huge problem for a small company vs. a big one, it could alos kill one party if the other party never accepts any resolution.
A current LLM with a credit card an already just buy something and everything in the background works as it has for a long time.
Buying crypto actually 'doubles' money by increasing risk:
You buy crypto and give out fiat. Now you have apparently 1 crypto worth 1 fiat and someone else now has 1 fiat.
And they also make their place they live and the rest of the planet a tiny bit worse due to the energy consumption of bitcoin, if they support bitcoin in any form even with lightning.
A question though: How do they exchange their crypto into local fiat?
