FYI, we live in a finite world and nothing on the planet is truly "unlimited".

How ironic that an administration devoted to carbon energy has inadvertently done so much to demonstrate the pitfalls of dependence on it.

Musk has missed some self-imposed deadlines.

Fairly standard operating procedure for Musk --- over promise, under deliver. Sell the dream, not the product.

Or how about: American AI Execs unwittingly promote Chinese models?

I think they have a moat shortage and this shouldn't look very good to investors.

I think a more likely scenario is Anthropic and OpenAI clients start using Chinese open source models directly.

Why pay more for a middleman if you can go directly to the source?

The problem for Anthropic and OpenAI is to devise some political scheme to stop them.

Late stage capitalism --- where "innovations" are often just thinly veiled but highly profitable scams.

Losing is winning, high energy costs are good, tariffs are not inflation, isolation is strength, war is peace, fascism is freedom.

God bless bizarro America --- because reality won't.

A majority of US voters dismiss regressive policies and denial as being a workable approach for dealing with reality.

In other words, reality has a liberal bias. And denial can be deadly.

So it is not really a competitive option for serious use.

But will the USA eventually become again fully "democratic"/"capitalist" rather than remain a hybrid (aka fascist) system it currently is?

I think judgments and predictions are far from certain in both cases and are mainly rooted in bias and wishful thinking.

because they are unsustainable and can only be maintained for some time with careful management.

Is this a fact --- or a hope?

China is a different culture and is carving it's own path --- one that doesn't exactly match any that came before.

The West expected that it would change China. What is actually happening is China is changing the West.

For example, trade with the USA is now controlled by one person. It's hard to get much more authoritarian and anti-capitalistic than this.

In other words, it is fairly typical of many Chinese "companies".

What many in the West seem to have trouble grasping is the fact that a "company" in China is not an autonomous economic construct but is instead more deeply intertwined with the state.

A Chinese "company" is a hybrid entity that only exists with the approval of and in cooperation with and in service to the state. Just ask Jack Ma.

Complaining that this doesn't match the way the game is played in the West does nothing to deflect the competition it presents. It is specifically designed to break Western style free market capitalism and AI is a prominent test case.

Not your disk, not your data.

Too small and too slow.

In other words, be built a glorified golf cart.

The religion of Thiel.

Just say "no" to all things Metaverse.

1 month is too short for a realistic assessment.

A lot of differences only manifest themselves over time.

For example, what happens during an OS upgrade and how do the systems compare.

And he hates solar because???

If you look at the overall picture, it's clear that he opposes anything not carbon based. And cost isn't a rational reason for it.

In other words, China explains why dependence on service providers for critical IT infrastructure might not be such a great idea.

I somehow learned to do this by accident.

I used to have terrifying dreams of falling. Now, instead of falling, I fly. Super empowering --- and I don't have these dreams much anymore.

‘the abundance of [AI] will be limited by the abundance of energy’.

And the reason current US policy opposes clean, renewable energy is --- purely political.

Because no one would ever block or reject "???@burneremail24.com"?

We're on the same page. All it takes is more people to say "no" to the Metaverse.

Yes, it is still tough to compete on the desktop with Microsoft and Apple, but things are moving in a positive direction.

The basics haven't changed. There is still little concern for compatibility with Linux. What exists is an ugly band-aid that covers the problem instead of addressing it.

This "feature" alone just keeps on giving to the less technically inclined.
