well the point is value is not being created. the stock market is at an ATH, by all metrics productibity has increased, but ask anyone on the ground- the mood is not as optimisitic as the financial instruments say

i thought it was a prank website but then realise this was real

i think the doomsday scenario is more likely from someone giving AI access to crucial systems and it accidentally making critical mistakes, rather than it outsmarting the system

anyone can isolate one number to fit their bias. if you look at the wider financing in the industry and the context of multiple AI deals in the billions without any cold hard cash flow or reasoning it kinda makes sense

are people really balking at paying 50k on 1 million of sales? that is a problem i would like to have.

steam did provide the basic dev/hosting/sale/marketing platform.

there is a perception that ultrasound is not as dangerous as xrays (radiation etc). As we find more use-cases for it we need to be aware that the damage caused by blasting organs with energy waves is not negligible.

idk if that would work in real life. there are cases where one sibling gets less than another and judges still rule things have to be split equitably and children should be provided for.

blogging was like a diary, mostly authentic with people just primarily focused on sharing. some with banner ads on the site to get pocket change.

then with substack, social media monetisation, etc everything became income focus. writers got taken over by influencers and content became focused on grabbing attention. didn' take long for readers to leave after that.

costco buyers typically buy in bulk and fill a pantry in one go. i doubt one truck can fill 100 pantry. maybe a few products each

that shoebox would prob be thrown or burnt at some point tho, rather than being accessed by savvy hackers from across the globe.

it needed to be American to get all their defense contracts.

the kiwi connection was just PR, and to access local launch sites.

recently? and you posted an almost 10yo article?

Works out to about USD $3.6m

i think you're being played by their whole ethical high horse PR angle

well being a YC company im sure they know all the different trial and funneling strategies, they chose to hack it the sketchy way

it's also not easy to just apply for a chargeback in some jurisdiction. they are betting you will just give up and chalk it up as an expensive lesson.

kinda depressing the race general intelligence is motivated by the potential to profit from ad sales.

so are they saying this based on their analysis, or because they are trying to stir up support for a non-vibe-coding startup they have have invested.

oh please. people said that about the moon, and nuclear weapons too. and yet it's the one side who has a track record of using new technology to intidmidate.

there's no point in getting another chip. the existing chip will still work, you can just register the data with another database.

it's not useless. it just produces a number that is stored on a database. you can register it with another database if needed, although it would have been good if someone could transfer the records from the ailing company.

at this point idk what openclaw does and am afraid to ask but great for him

unfortunately i think a lot of AI models put more weighting on videos as they were harder to fake than a random article on the internet. of course that is not the case anymore with all the AI slop videos being churned out

the researcher documented a cow using a stick to scratch itself. no doubt they're intelligent animals but describing them as using 'sophisticated tools' is a bit of a stretch.

this behaviour is quite common in cattle and other animals, often seen rubbing or using sticks to scratch spots. sometimes it is dangerous as they find fences with nail poking out and cut themselves when rubbing to to calm an itch.

also the derailed carriages crashed rolled down a hill which complicated things further

i wonder if how many people actually spoke up and said 'um i don't think many people actually want to use this product' or did they just think it was easier kept their head down, collect their paycheck and go home.

did you bother to see the video? they are a legit repair shop being transparent about everything, no one is in the dark they are getting a new product

interestingly they don't actively seek investment for their AI company because their hedge fund makes enough profit to fund themselves

for a while now the work in phd/academia rarely involved 'field work'.

90% of the time it is spend analyzing data or writing up proposals/grants/papers. i don't think AI was the turning point.

i think it's good. Google has a record of being stable and working with large partners (govt etc) and avoids the controversial cult of altman.
