Spoken like someone who has never marketed anything. No, the marketing is everything. The product is just a floor... it just has to be "good enough". See: pop music.

Yes, and are you aware the role that the massive distribution and marketing machine played in making it that big?

You don't need to sell your stake for it to be a winner. It's a winner because his stake in the company is worth significantly more than when he bought it.

She's an artist, not some poor wage slave. The fact she gets paid a living wage at all for doodling in a notebook is thanks to the miracle of consumer capitalism. Van Gogh couldn't trade his paintings for stale bread.

She didn't produce value. Someone else created value out of what she created. You ironically and accidentally stumbled onto the very reason Marxism has always failed so miserably.

Highly unlikely given sterilization before launch and Venus basically being a deep fryer But also technically not impossible. For example if the dormant microbes react to prolonged microgravity and radiation in ways we don't understand

How does that remotely apply here? If she has the value, why didn't she distribute it herself?

Exploitation? Thousands of people are getting paid $90k to paint pointless characters nobody will ever see. It's not exploitation because one of them succeeds.

Since any group of order 3⋅2n3⋅2n has ∣G∣≥3∣G∣≥3, it cannot admit a Cayley graph which is a tree. Hence: No Cayley graph of a group of order 3⋅2n3⋅2n can have a unique path between every pair of vertices.

I wonder if they'll go on an acquisition spree (which they previewed with Character AI). There are so many strong AI labs right now ripe for the picking.

I think Open AI is still far ahead as a consumer choice, and I'm not sure that Google can catch them. However model capabilities, and especially now that they're integrating Gemini into Google Search (which was a disaster initiall

It's hard to bet against Google now, and Sundar deserves his flowers when a year ago everyone was proclaiming the death of Google. They've caught up and even surpassed Open AI.

I'm embarassed that you find revolutionary tech uninteresting.

Sure, but that's still an astronomically higher number of bars the UK in totality has 45k pubs, nearly half Seoul's number this is mostly emblematic of South Korea's major alcoholism problem. way too many bars and too much dr

Economically, militarily, whatever is necessary in this new world where the US becomes a pariah state.

You seem to be under the Trumpic-delusion that the US exists in a bubble and all of it's successes are it's own. If the US decides to do that, the US dollar will be removed as the global standard and the entire planet will flock t

If this is correct, it seems like Seoul has over 40x the number of bars that Chicago has, despite having only about 4x the population How in the hell?

Elon has done more to help stave of climate change than every climate activist and non profit org on this planet combined. He's a megalomaniacal douche who has undone all of that goodwill, but it doesn't change the fact that he di

I didn't say anything remotely close to "Dude Trust Me" - perhaps you need to try a bit of "vibe learning how to read english"

Do you really think Airbnb software engineers would accept the final code if it was low quality? Seriously, the wishful thinking around this stuff is embarassing.

Vibe coding means AI-assisted programming. That is it.

It's easy to tell yourself you're not losing by constantly pushing the goal posts.

Nobody cares. Ancient devs are insisting that vibe coding is going to lead to a bunch of tech debt. 1. Nobody cares. It's still worth the insane productivity improvements. 2. There is no proof that it's going to lead to long-term

AirBnb just did a 1.5 year engineering migration in 6 weeks thanks to AI. "Vibe" coding is here to stay and it's only devs who don't know how to adapt that are wishfully hoping for otherwise.
