Not saying that isn't correct, but that article is from one perspective. Even if there was actually an earnest attempt by the CEO, she could still choose to view what happened this way.

Have you considered moving to the UK? I hear they're working on something similar

Interesting, glad to hear. We have gemma4 at work, and I was considering localhosting qwen, but gemma4 is so far behind the Opus and Fable I have at home that I've decided to hold off for another model release.

I can't help but see most of this as Claire using her gift of elegant prose and crafting narratives to retell a story of a prodigy that had a great product-market fit in the beginning then was unable to maintain relevancy while becoming bitter at the people around her. It must be so difficult to start out as a shining star then watch something you helped shape grow away from you. It looks like some powerful people at Google tried very hard to keep her with all these dramatic job changes. I always thought the walk-out seemed more dramatic and showy than people actually working for positive change (virtue signaling for their careers/to get their 5min), but I was very much on the outside. Seems hard all around.

Kubernetes vs EKS?

I don't think they'd really be willing to risk the whole company on a small subset of prompts. It's not "keeping it safe", it's retaining proof of illegal activities.

I think that's a great effect, they are no longer lying. I don't want to see a button that contains all the terms. What else would you want?

Those are big, solvable problems that can benefit almost everybody. Your problem is just with humans themselves, which is not something I want AI to "solve".

I'd like AI to stay at the frontier of humans vs nature, not humans vs humans.

What's the alternative? Or is it not surprising because it's the most basic and foolproof plan?

By what metric have we not passed AGI already? I think you'd have a hard time picking any random sample of people and not having Fable "beat" them in any randomly picked tests.

Overfunded startups will slap their stickers on them and give them away in exchange for a sales call.

Is your assertation that spaceX just valued themselves? If your lemonade stand gets underwritten by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, and 18 other large banks then yeah, you belong on that list.

Socialism is crony capitalism?

Corporations are the definition of socialism- everyone pools their efforts and they decide how to allocate the rewards (after taxes).

The power of who lives, dies, and what's allowed are made by the individual consumers (or groups of consumers), so it's the same problem we have with democracy.

"capitalism" was meant to harness the greed in men- they're self-assembling groups on mostly level playing fields, and the people vote during every purchase. The more votes they get, the more opportunities to expand. Only when the people fail to choose wisely is a governmental body supposed to come in and help "regulate". The other option is the government decides from on-high how things should work, and you'd better hope that what got them to power was good. Then these people need to be wizards at allocating labor, research, and benefits.

I see socialism benefitting from capitalism, but how have capitalistic nations benefitted from socialist ones (other than a place to put military bases)?

I can't see any system where people are treated fairly (equally and able to reap benefits of their labor aka not slaves) that won't lead to inequality. People are just different, and will have different production rates.

Tell that to the Ukrainians and Syrians.

I don't know, that's an interesting, albeit unrelated question. Do you have an answer?

They really don't manage the traffic well over terrestrial lines for the globe, that's why starlink, iridium, viasat, even directv have all used satellites. Billions of taxpayer money and even more private funding have been devoted to bringing lines to rural areas and the area covered is still so small.

lol just be glad it's something civil money, historically it was much worse.

Also, what's up with this influx of very sheltered reddit-like comments? It's not even September yet.

Who's your target audience for this... misinformation? > charged $120 for something that I had just opened out of the box

It does not work out of the box, you need to install an app, add a payment method, and sign up for a plan, free trial or not.

you don't have to pay to keep the service or the satellite alive

Not sure what you mean by keeping a satellite alive, but you do need to pay for the service. There is no "Free" or "Pay as You Go" plan. Also, the Standby Mode $10/mo, not $5.

As for it being "extremely confusing", that's highly subjective so I won't comment, but it's definitely standard UI and I think it took me less than 8 clicks to first downgrade then cancel my plan.

At the end of the day, there's the people who can make a vastly superior product time and time again, and they all like to work with other people who can do the same. They like to be pushed, they love solving hard problems, hate bureaucracy, and will find leaders that can accommodate all that. Elon provides that the same as Steve did.

And he will tell you beforehand, in clear manifestos, why and how it fits the mission.

The Laws of Physics are much easier to build around than the Laws of Men.

I think it'd be easier for Starlink to start building and deploying wide area ground stations (like 5g towers or something) to serve urban areas than it would take all the other telcos to deploy satellites.

You really can't think of ANY situations that might be helped with instant communication with the outside world? If that's true, please don't go into national forests or BLMs anymore, I don't want my taxes to be spent looking for your body.

I don't think spacex is rolling in cash. Their valuation has little bearing on cash reserves until they sell.

If plenty of other people are having success with the same tool, perhaps it's not the tool.
