I think the problem here is that marketplaces need to be neutral and regulated as public utilities. The same thing happens with amazon stealing vendor business, and arbitrarily banning people without legal recourse. When you set the market,

The real threat to Google is from within. Their search results are crap and a lot of people are noticing. I see people talking about using big chat or even duckduckgo instead everyday

The sad truth is that stakeholders know this perfectly well. But they know they have an important marketshare they can extract money from. They want this money now instead of trickled in through the next 20-50 years from now when they might

I wouldn't say they fell for anything. The scientific world went on overdrive and tried to verify the finding exactly as it should. They didn't blindly believe in anything.

This is my intuition as well. Hopefully the controversy doesn't cloud researcher's judgement and cause us to miss out on the technology just because it was way more nuanced than first appeared. It might also be that everyone loses

The worst part is that those market people are delusional enough to believe what they say.

Microsoft is giving that for free but I assume they're paying OpenAI for it. And having such a big anchor tenant, its reasonable that you would prioritize them if GPUs are in short supply.

There's a million other opportunities you missed because you can't see into the future. Same for everybody else. Don't worry about it.

There definitely are bullshit jobs. But its super dangerous when charlatans, which in my opinion are far more common, take the "bullshit job" meme and start firing people that actually do important work and creating extremely toxi

Its a good precedent to have. There are solutions to the software issue you mention. They're not perfect but for some hardware, they do work. If the software problem ever gets solved, you WILL want to be able to replace the batteries w

Exactly. This thing will be successfully manufactured by chinese factories for decades, no problem. Capitalism works. You just need to be realistic. Its a cooking pot, not the next google.

The fact that you cant walk around in the games really is a dealbreaker. It would be a nobrainer for all consoles if it werent for that unfortunate detail

This. Drives. Me. NUTS. Just make games! Its that simple. Those are the experiences, those are the killer apps, they are the metaverse! They literally just need to get out of the way with their corporate bullshit.

These are contrary to market freedom. They should have been outlawed decades ago.

Totally agree. Although there is something to be said for having better retention as it will only aid your enjoyment of future reading on the subject. I recommend getting drinks with friends and telling them all about the interesting stuff

If you don't enjoy writing summaries, I recommend just getting drinks with your buddies and telling them about the interesting stuff you read. I do this regularly and it works great.

I think its about copping out of any responsibility. Sure, go ahead. But the market will take notice if you do that.
