Good point, I didn't notice that. Interesting times indeed!

Nvidia had the chance to build its own AI software and chose not to. It was a good choice so far, better to sell shovels than go to the mines - but they still could go mining if the other miners start making their own shovels. If I were Nvi

Yeah, I liked the article. I should have mentioned that. I think I got too focused on the chart. Its just one of those things that is hard to let pass without comment for me I suppose.

I don't know about that chart. Saying the United States was equivalant in "standing" to the ottoman empire in 1750 and Russia or Germany in 1800 seems rediculously incorrect to me. Also I see Germany's standing is greate

Google could build try to build an actual 3d scene with ai using meshes or metaballs or something. That would allow for more persistance, but I expect makes the ai more brittle and limited, and, because it doesn't really understand the

I think everyone has forgotten who google is here. Google makes cool things and then destroys them. Like Stadia, as someone else mentioned. This thing is already just hovering over the trash bin. Of course, maybe its a bridge to something e

I agree. If it wasn't written with an AI I would be shocked. Its got the classic "VLEO isn’t just a better orbit for imaging — it’s the next productive orbital layer." mdash and all. That style sends strong signals of lazynes

I mean maybe someday we'll have the technlogy to work from home too. Clearly we aren't there yet according to the bosses who make us commute. One can dream... one can dream.

Ahh, maybe they're not losing users after all. I was thinking about market share as reported in several articles. I assumed if they were losing big lumps of market share they had to be losing users too, but I guess you can still grow e

Facebook hooked me up with 4 beautiful girlfriends. I don't think Chatgpt is going to do that any time soon.

One problem with OpenAi advertising is that users are already moving towards Gemeni, which isn't advertising. Chatgpt is mostly worse than Gemeni too (arguably) and isn't nearly as rate limited. So they're already losing user

Yeah, there was something great about being a child who hasn't bing-read wikipedia for years. Lots of mystery out there. Then you read about the world and you know all this interesting stuff about it but the mystery is gone.

I'll bet he would do a lot more illegal stuff if only his morality were stopping him. He also has to think about what happens after he's out of office/dead, or if he upsets the supreme court enough that they tell him to stop.

Good point. I was introduced to the idea that aliens came to earth long ago and invented humans and built lots of weird monuments through The Mountains of Maddness by H P Lovecraft, written in 1930.

This was clearly written by a bot heavily trained on linkedin posts, or someone horrifically addicted to linkedin. Its nauseating to read.

I think you're correct to a degree. Instututions like social media and google ads were given a very generous chance, we gave them our money and attention, they gave us scams (especially facebook) and enshittification. The loss of faith

I was in the market for a laptop this month. Many new laptops now advertise AI features like this "HP OmniBook 5 Next Gen AI PC" which advertises: "SNAPDRAGON X PLUS PROCESSOR - Achieve more everyday with responsive performan

Heh. True. The saga of r/art this last few weeks is a good lession in how trying to demonitize things can be difficult. Still, with intense moderation it is sometimes possible. Wikipedia has a vast amount of information passing through

I suppose people could try to make a non-monitizable internet. Everything would have to be self-hosted. No ads would be allowed anywhere. No business would be allowed to build anything, just users. Some kind of super-admin would have to

I agree its bad and it should be fixed but... I think AI is going to greatly decrease the quality of the internet in the coming years. What we have now, as bad as it is, will be remembered as being very good in 2035. AI will clog this place

How do advertisers know when you're at your friend's location? Through your phone?

Thanks for publishing this. People will complain about your metrics, but I would say its just useful to have metrics of any kind at this point. People talk a lot about AI coding today without having any data, just thousands of anecdotes. Th

Discord is still good as long as its a small server.

Some remember the Geocities era as one of the best phases of the internet. Its hard to know what things will look like in 20 years but people may miss the time when AI cost nothing, or very little, and was less fettered. I think probably no
