They are desperate, all of media is desperate. People want news online, and they do not want to see ads, they do not want to pay a subscription. So if you are media company and want to stay afloat, you need to appeal to the people who are e

The part that doctors see that individuals don't is the flood of people who are chronically freaking out over nothing. There are going to be casualties of doctor's triage, and those stories will be beyond upsetting, but most would

People want this, the demand is there. Like clockwork, people naturally want to have their cake and to eat it too, so there will be the incessant complaining about the externalities. Half the people lack the brainpower to see the good and b

Google (and other labs) wanted to keep the tech internal because of the obvious safety concerns. Once they were confident that the tech was understood and under control, the public could start being drip fed. Everyone on the ground back th

Thank you Mr. Altman for firing the starting gun when no one else wanted to race. (The ambiguity of sarcasm is intentional here.)

The author conveniently (or perhaps wasn't even aware) left out this quote from Uber's CFO "What we have done is we have tempered the pace of hiring, and we -- and this is broadly across the company, but specifically from an

Burning furniture will in fact keep you warm, and if you can do it long enough, your kids will wonder why others toil with trees and axes so much. The downside of course, is that it is much much harder to go back to chopping wood once tha

Believe it or not there is actually a shortage of assets and an excess of money. That's in part why valuations are so bonkers.

It's important to remember that the cloud division, rapidly becoming Google's golden goose, does not give one fuck about Gemini and would happily sell out all of Gemini's compute to Anthropic and OAI if given the opportunity.

Europe has been slowly committing economic suicide for the last 30 years by outsourcing everything to the US and China (and Russia), and it looks like maybe Europeans are finally starting to wake up to this. I wouldn't be one bit surpr

I have thought about this but snag on rebalancing, because it would create a taxable event, or be drawn out over months/years. Although maybe a bit spicier, VGT is half the cost of QQQ, so that is what my "NASDAQ" has been. I
