Not sure I understand, but all I know is this dude has been an unhinged actor for a long time - and now he's on an Anti-Christ tour?

I take him even less seriously than Andreessen, Karp and Musk. Unfortunately they have more money than God, so they get attention and acolytes.

Prefer Grok for what exactly?

Right. This compute still being powered by an illegal amount of gas turbines in a residential neighborhood?

Claude is eating so much compute, the threat of that power being tuned down by lawsuit (rightfully) is worth the risk to Anthropic in the short-term. Instead of declaring "bubble", I'm just going to say that's so crazy.

Yes. Both me-south-1 and me-central-1 have been _heavily_ impacted/disrupted for nearly a month now due to drone strikes on infra.

Nice. Do you just use your 5 as a stationary iPod, or do you dual-carry with a modern device as well? Curious on if you also use it to wi-fi the web on your local LAN periodically too, of it that was just a periodic test to check if HN worked.

Glorious. This must be what is like when old people long for the hot car they lusted for in their youth.

It is already complete.

Super glad to hear this. I absolutely do not want to be a member of any private club these people are a part of.

I have so many conflicting thoughts that I cannot properly articulate yet. I can say though, this is not going to end well for most, it is clumsily premeditated and starting to feel like dude is just trying to be a Neal Stephenson character.

lol what? Can you please cite some sources for this claim?

There is always going to be an intersection between tech and politics. This convo is no different than talking about Section 230, H1B visas or using vision models to sexualize people or distort the truth.

I miss shame, and accountability.

Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky Imagine what gon’ happen when you try to tax our whisky

I'm not educated enough in this area to have any expertise, however, in my personal experience leaving a lithium-ion battery plugged all the time results in scary semi-exploded batteries that also stop working.

Would you say this is a chemistry/QA problem? Have there been advances in battery / controller technology that achieves the above?

RPI?

Yet we as a species are doing our damn best to delay it, chasing LLMs and entertaining those who want to "drill baby drill".

BBC == OK Arab News == Not OK

What is your opinion on Al Jazeera then?

My mom did this in the '80s so we weren't kidnapped, even by a family member. I'm not going to share the secret phrase, but it has stuck with me and I use it with my kids too.

I know most of that was driven by the tragedy of Adam Walsh, but it was still great OpSec I'll never drop.

Not sure what it is about, but love to see it!

If Claude is going to work on the underpinning technology of every business in the Capitalist world, We should let Claude loose on the COBOL code out there too, I can't imagine anything going wrong.

Wow, what the hell? This is absolutely unhinged nonsense from someone who's never had a struggle meal.

I know it is Thiel, so are we putting this here as a warning or a veneration?
