If anything the Chinese and Russians made us run up our economy on nonsense AI dreams and the crash will take a decade or more to recover from.

You don’t think Satoshi Nakamoto had credibility or professionalism? It’s not fair to lump the bad seeds in with the good. Imagine if I said the US Dollar was a scam because drug cartels or AI companies use it.

Can you give examples of other things they can do that would be worth paying for?

Stock price has almost doubled in the past year and you still aren’t satisfied? This delusional market needs a reckoning. 1Y 86%

Form follows function but really it’s just probably modeled on the founders. Kudos to DeepSeek and Midjourney for doing something different.

Open models are 4k TV (or maybe 1080p tv now and 4k TV soon) and SOTA frontier models are 8k TV. Can I or the average user tell the difference? Not really. Would they pay for that difference? Not a chance. Our entire economy is teeteri

I'm also judging by my own eyes because I can see that the WPA concrete uses coarser substrate like the Gemini answer says and is harder than normal concrete when I press it. And also has no cracks in it almost 100 years later.

I’ve often wondered why every good sidewalk I see has a WPA stamp on it from the 1930s and the modern ones are all crumbled and uneven. https://share.gemini.google/5g0gxGyOmAPD

Welcome to the Age of the Plateau. Enjoy your stay, everything is very mid, but it’s oh so cheap to make.

I was thinking the other day that the AI bot infested internet we have now is some sort of Eternal December that is even worse than Eternal September. But we never get Christmas.

When I hear recursive self improvement all I remember are the ridiculous articles a few years ago about how 3d printers were going to make themselves and take over the world.

Has the internet made the average human’s life better? As someone that lived in both eras I have to say no. If you want to improve humanity greatly and prevent currently 8.3 billion people’s misery and counting, you build a time machine a

That’s all great but that isn’t a bull case for getting actual money out of it at the levels needed to justify the spending. Our entire stock market (everyone’s retirement) is based on this right now. Not all amazing inventions enrich eve

Can someone even outline the AI bull case? I can’t fathom one at all. https://isaiprofitable.com/ The only profitable company is the one running the scam.

Did the little hats do anything? Or were they just for show? I also wonder if they were only worn when the cameras came out.

Do you use it for work? I can’t imagine paying this myself for personal use. I just don’t see the benefits vs. the free models available to me.

Apathy is a valid feeling to these incremental improvements touted as vital and amazing and worth paying for.

I don’t think The Economist has that kind of power. More likely that when they make covers like these every normie feels that way and it’s going the other way soon, as it has exhausted every buyer or seller and it has reached the ends of y

The really uncomfortable part is that 1000 ppm isn’t that far off from how EARTH will be. A terrifying scenario that will be like Total Recall with people clamoring for and paying for fresh air. Those that can’t will be permanently in a s

Surely that can’t be true though? I see this- > Saltair Resort: Built in 1893, Saltair was a massive, Moorish-style pavilion built directly over the water. It featured a massive dance floor, roller coasters, and thousands of tourists wh
