When I read this, the Arweave project [1] comes to mind. Isn't this the exact use case it was built for, preservation of news data in a way that it cannot be tampered with and so that it is kept accessible for everyone forever? [1] ht

I know Apple phones had bugs. Even worse bugs than the one you linked to. But Google phones had those too. That's why I said I "feel" like Apple takes security more seriously. And that I wish there were hard facts. Statistics

A good security track record must be the most valuable company asset in history. Apple makes $200B per year from selling the iPhone alone. Plus the services they sell on it, plus deals like the one with Google, plus app store ads, plus cros

The CEO is the throughline in a history of billion-dollar blunders Since the IPO, he created an annual ROI of 21% for his investors. Taking risks means blunders are part of the way I would say. For comparison: He outperformed

How is the situation with Bitcoin? Do Europeans have options to hold Bitcoin in ETFs, ETPs etc that are not storing the coins in the USA?

Or Bitcoin. Of which almost half is already under US control. Anyhow, much of the new currency will flow to the USA if the USA becomes the worlds source of (artificial) intelligence.

by ArtTimeInvestor 21d ago
The USA might hold a majority of the worlds value generation in a few decades. If AI generated in the USA powers everything. Then the USA does not need to borrow anymore.

The dangerous situation we are in is that entities outside of the USA hold significantly more US assets than US entities own assets outside the USA. So if the USA declares "ownership be damned", it would be a net win for the USA.

I don't get what this is about. The examples they show are someone typing something into a prompt and then some agent starts coding. But the hard part in automation these days is not writing software. It is "how does the software

It will be interesting to see if SAP can turn into the basis for companies that use AI heavily or if companies that use AI heavily will prefer to replace SAP. Who are the contenders that start fresh with focus on AI? One that comes to mind

Thats why I said proof of work that is used to mine a cryptocurrency to pay the bills of websites that serve information. As long as the website gets paid more than the cost of serving the pages, it does not matter if a human or a bot did t

In theory, proof of work that is used to mine a cryptocurrency could be a solution. Bitcoin and others are already secured via massive pow computations. If we could shift that into browsers, no additional energy would be used and we could s

It is a step into the right direction. Over time, more and more work is going to be done by AI though. At some point, it will be unthinkably slow and expensive to let humans work on anything. To do *that* locally, you need GPUs and LLMs. Ho

I don't see anything that looks like a "slowing" in mid 2018. Growth in Q1, Q2 and Q3 2018 was higher than anything that came before.

In the limit, that would mean that Bitcoin's volatility reflects only the savings rate of people. That would mean that Bitcoin is pure monetary value. In that case, it would suck out all the monetary premium from other assets like real

So a minus of about 45% from the all time high three months ago? If this is it for this cycle, that would indicate the volatility of Bitcoin went down significantly. Taking a look at the Bitcoin to USD price chart, I see roughly these numbe

AI will be involved in all processing of data. Everything that is human work today will be done by AI tomorrow. So if Europe will rely on US AI infrastructure, nothing is won by moving the old CPU bound processes off of US cloud infrastruct

Can Europe build AI datacenters though? Europe has no wafer production and no companies that produce GPUs. That means it is dependent on Taiwan for wafers and the USA for GPU design. Then there is the question wether there is a will to inve

The incentive to send http requests is that data comes back. That's why the storm of scrapers hurts website owners. They gather the data and give nothing back. What would be the incentive to send failing payment requests?
