He can certainly TRY to create a monopoly for himself. But Facebook, Google, Hugging Face, even NVIDIA won't let him. There are STRONG economic incentives to prevent any player getting a monopoly on a Foundational Model.

He understands that his products are about to be commoditized with no moat. The price of API calls to foundational models will be akin to the Airline industry. Essentially at cost with a small margin for profit and operating costs. All the

“Focus and attention” is not deal closing. Lots of people will take phone calls and have dinners with people. Signing the contract and getting the money wired to your corporate bank account is much much harder. I think deep tech still has m

This “we” you speak of is non-existent. It’s about individuals taking actions to fix the injustices and errors they see in the system. For all his faults Elon Musk does not sit on the sidelines. What you see as a transgression by him is non

Completely agree. These foundational models are more akin to the invention of transistors or the internet than anything else. It's a little disheartening from a startup perspective to see already large "incumbents" in the for

The funding environment is fantastic still if you’re building a product and company that provides real people, real value. Creating a poor knockoff of pre-existing financial assets and marketing it as “revolutionary” is not creating real va

Having recently dealt with this very situation. Lawyers are honestly not __that__ expensive for these disputes and NDA’s are largely unenforceable.

I’d like to believe that this is the future. Already with the rise of digitally native relationships nudes have become commonplace (even Jeff Bezos has sent some). Now with these widely accessible deep-fake generators any leaked nude photo

It's not clear to me that contrails actually trap more heat than they reflect back. I didn't see any evidence in this blog post demonstrating that the increased heat trap offsets the increase in albedo. Edit: I realized they cited

HYP may be elite but quite frankly it's to their own disadvantage. For funded startup founders as of 2023, the ranking list was 1) Stanford, 2)MIT, 3)UC Berkely, 4) Harvard, 5) Cornell. Cornell is consistently seen as "not elite&q

This is complete speculation, but I imagine it is a function of the United States developing telecommunications first (+1 area code). People needed easy entry to the communication networks and screening bad actors was not a major concern. W

It probably helped that Pixar was the developer of the technology. I'm sure Tim Cook & Apple writ large think very fondly of tech developed by a company run by it's old CEO.

All though you're correct it is rational to not fear death. I personally, and likely many other people here, have a very very strong aversion to it. I DO NOT want the cessation of experience. Ideally, I'd like to continue in perpe

Sovereign debt is fundamentally different to any other kind of liability. So yes, I believe that your comment "it doesn't seem like the markets will ever care" should remain true so long as the real economic activity of the U

Of course they care about copy right! It is their whole business model after all!! Scihub is “bad” because “copyright” ergo generative AI is “bad” because copyright.

I know I came off very cheeky but your statement "forced to behave", indicates that some people in your life do not behave well around you. I think it'd behoove you to consider whether those "friends" are using you,

Austin is becoming bad. They're trying to make it like Houston. It used to be super walkable but now they're expanding the streets into the central area and ripping out the sidewalk. It makes me sad :( I think I'm done with A

I know this is extremely unnecessary and pedantic but I think you meant "in this vein" instead of "in this vain".

GPT-4 does have 35,000 token limit. I'm sure GPT-5 will probably have an order of magnitude bigger context window. I'm sure by the seventh or eighth model there will be enough context to recreate Twitter's entire codebase or

Look COVID proved that humans REALLY do not need to work. Like seriously, if everyone stopped working tomorrow it would be FINE. However, humans with copious free time leads to civil unrest. No matter how capable automated systems become, e
