This is not happening at the same time by pure chance. Once the Fed turned off the free money, all of the negative profit companies need to adapt or die.

Software has zero marginal costs and infinite supplies, and therefore the free market would only ever give it a price of zero. The reason that it does not is because of the government interfering. Economics is very clear on this. You tax ne

And this goes beyond games. Imagine what education looks like when the AI is able to model how the child views the world, and how to get the child to view the world so that they can answer some goal that has been set, and what problems and

What this is going to allow is a way to flatten org-mode, which will massively expand the amount of people willing to use it. Put anything you wish into your own data collection, and you can instantly pull it up with a prompt. That service

This is not how it works. There is really no such thing as a passive investment. Passive is really the world's simplest active investors. All they do is ask, did you give me money? Then I buy. Did you ask for money? Then I sell. This i

Indeed. And it's clear through this lens that if the Fed's goal was actually to have a stable currency, they would grow the money supply through this method. Under a helicopter money scenario, the intended inflation/counter-d

This is far outside the Overton window, but I think it will be what wins out in the end. All information deserves to be free. The society that used it will grow with the value of the information. That value can then be captured through incr
