Let's do some math. So, say you're paying me $15 an hour. Really, if you own a business by the time you pay for taxes, infrastructure, capital outlay and insurance you are really paying about $45 an hour for me to hang out and do

Has been for years. What is frightening is we have a bubble bigger than the dotcom bubble of the late 90's, but it's all tied up with private capital -- we don't even know how leveraged it is. I hope what comes out of the nex

So, I checked and I'm currently only using 4gb in my laptop. I think this laptop and I are going to get along just fine! Also, I will be able to upgrade that part as it comes available. Plenty of room!

My current laptop is a Thinkpad X200t from 10+ years ago. The MNT has a modern GPU and a nice keyboard. I think it's going to work quite well.

Let's create creatures more complicated than ourselves and then give them domain over us. What could possibly go wrong? The AI crisis is here, and it arrived when computation was added to our market system. I think the solution is lots
