This is why it’s silly hearing billionaires, who do the most damage to our planet, telling us how urgently we need to “get off this rock” which has supported life for millions of years in favor of some dead planet. It’s really just an extension of capitalism that demands infinite space to exploit, instead of being content with sustainability.

They got ignored by the people they petitioned for help.

Anti-genocide protesters did more than just pick up a phone and call. We all saw the result.

Exactly. He already has his hand up the government’s ass and had been sucking off billions of dollars in subsidies and other benefits. This will only get worse, but apparently boosting musk is bipartisan, the two parties just differ in how much they want to give to him.

I have no confidence in Intel’s long-term prospects.

Break free from the solution they resorted to in the pursuit of profits? Too bad that backfired, but it’s okay since Intel can keep making subpar products as long as the government has their back.

I’m more concerned with the threats from the people in charge of the system, but whatever gets them to the conclusion that it’s a bad idea is fine with me.

Wait until you hear about the NSA. Hell, with all this talk about security threats, there is one stark example of israel planting bombs in pagers, but no one in the west is talking about banning technology coming out of israel.

Now do israel.

Wow, I completely misread that post. Now I’m wondering if I replied to the wrong message or if my brain just completely crapped out.

I know you’re being reflexively downvoted by who hate everything AI, but this is the sort of thing AI should be most useful for, which is finding patterns within large problem spaces with many variables.

I’ve only looked at the consumer space and all I’ve noticed is that SSD prices were finally going down after stagnating for years, but then the manufacturers said that prices are too low and they intentionally slowed down production to increase prices, so prices are actually higher than they were a year ago.

How do you short a privately-held company?

Now imagine if they had to pay for the content they’re training the models off of.

Exciting to see all sorts of batteries for different applications. Is lithium-ion still standard for home power backup? I’ve heard characteristics of the new sodium-ion batteries being ideal for that use case.

The tech-savvy reputation comes from the “digital native” narrative i.e. because they grew up with computers they must know computers, which is a silly fallacy because how one interacts with technology makes all the difference. It’s the same reason why everyone who grew up with electricity isn’t necessarily an electrician.

Hype over fake news like this is one major reason how tesla’s stock price has gotten as high as it has.
