What would be the incentive to pour millions of dollars into a product,only to have virtually no way to make money or get your investment back? What would stop much larger companies, with more resources, to just keep taking anything good fr

"The system that we've built is why people aren't enjoying their work. The bigger the organization, the less autonomy an individual has." I think it depends on your position. I've worked for big companies, where my

I find that piracy is justified, until it affects the person personally, like when a large company takes your project or data and uses it to train an LLM. Then we need laws to stop it. Reason 999 why I stopped taking the tech community seri

I just don't believe AI is causing all of these layoffs. I've used all of the latest AI tech. Sure it provides value, but I just can't see it replacing entire positions yet. I think it's a combination of outsourcing (com

This is nonsense. The Biden administration went after Trump's lawyers, censored American citizens that supported Trump, and put people in prison for years that walked near the capital on J6 (and never participated in the riots). In add

Trump will need to pardon him and his entire administration. Not because they are criminals, but for fear that the Democrats will go after their enemies.

It's not a bubble yet. Many companies are already getting direct value out of AI. The Dot com burst happened because there were lots of unsustainable business models. I don't see them as equal.
