Not a giant incumbent?? They were literally on the board of the SF Fed...

It'll get worse if they're bailed out! It would totally change the perception of risk if they'll be saved every time they shit the bed.

Simply because SVB should have planned for it doesn't absolve the fed of its role. Its a single incredibly powerful decision maker. The fed is notoriously difficult to anticipate. If someone is being reckless with fireworks right befor

I didnt say its the sole variable. Just the prime mover of the change. SVB obviously had an elevated risk profile.

Data retention is kind of meaningless in this context since there's so many ways it is laundered/absorbed/analyzed while not technically violating whatever legalese they use this month.

This is the exact kind of dystopic thinking that is feared with the use of AI. "We regularly take randomized samples and have not found error, your appeal has been denied." I mean come on, ethics anybody??

Well, the situation was created by the government (fed raising rates). I don't see it as hypocritically as you do. SVB is kindling a bank run right now. https://nypost.com/2023/03/10/nypd-called-to-silico

It wasn't just poorly explained. The bills going through US Congress had almost nothing to do with it despite the branding.

Peak power is the key word. It's not a constant like Nuclear unless power storage improves many orders of magnitude from where its at right now. Also given global tensions and solar's reliance on China in its supply chain i'm

You're absolutely correct on emphasizing the text medium. Neurolinguistic programming isn't just an arcane meme for academics. The most important part of it, it only works if the user cannot separate reality from words. Marshall M

I think noise-era is most apt. Over time people/consumers will lean into a signal vs noise approach to using the internet instead of a whatever-is-put-infront-of-me-by-an-algo-but-call-it-'discovery'.

The trick is in what it interprets as its wakeword. I remember looking at the recordings google stores back in 2015-2016. I had never used hey google (at all, ever), but it sure recorded a ton of irrelevant crap at my work and other convers

Only in the last year? It is important to remember the near-global admiration for China's lockdowns during the first year of the pandemic. Highly manufactured. Twitter was a huge incubator for it.

We aren't the exception to the rule even remotely. Macroevolution is eternal growth. Its been around for quite some time. Life finding ways to adapt to differing resource ratios. I'm not handwaving away anything; i'm admiring

Its the same kind of faith as the sun rising tomorrow. The universal constant of human history is finding new resources to exploit and manipulating our environment, the scope of which grows exponentially by the century. Why do you think thi

Therefore they should be empowered to have full authoritarian control over your life? Government incompetence is why limited government exists. Can you state a definitive opinion instead of dancing around with nihilistic platitudes?

They will always be far flung technologies with an anti-growth approach. I'm not seeing anything on or beyond the horizon that we cannot adapt to and continue course. Can you cite specific examples?

Which resource are we going to run out of that will halt all progress for which there are no adaptations? We're constantly finding gigantic reserves of resources. We are closer to being able to synthesize all the resources we want or n

How exactly is equilibrium different from stagnation? If someone comes up with a new technology that will give us the ability to colonize the galaxy, or quantum teleport, or have years long battery life, should it be thrown away for being t
