Look around. The most significant change is that there are a lot more screens, and a lot more "cheap stuff" (consumer electronics, food, clothes, entertainment, plastic anything, etc). Things "behind the scenes" have per

I fit here. I just want to be able to install apps and not be locked to only getting software from an app store. That's it. Mac and android both fit the bill. iPhone does not -- they're super nice devices otherwise and if they ena

It should be noted that we're taking Masimo at their word here -- scummy as described, yes, but for all we know things may have actually gone another way: they may have tried to hold Apple over a barrel, may not have actually revealed

> Businesses that don’t get subsidies pay the same exact taxes. But the point of a subsidy is to create a business where one did not, possibly could not exist before. Therefore the tax revenue coming from companies created by subsidies

Didn't most sign the letter before they knew they had any offer to join Microsoft in any capacity? Also maybe I'm just too risk averse but if I were concerned about money I wouldn't be putting my name on such a list. Although

Absolutely, assuming LLMs are still around in a similar form by that time. I disagree on the particulars. Will it be for the reason that you mention? I really am not sure -- I do feel confident though that the argument will be just as ideol

Is The Information actually a higher quality source? I can't say I know much about them. Why do you think that?

How do you propose they recoup the massive expenses of holding state-of-the-art in the field?

It's not being said as if it's terrible, it's shining a light on the fact that OpenAI without a cutting edge product to attempt to practice AI safety on is something much tinier, much different, and altogether less important.

I won't say I'm super surprised that a guy with (apparently) no equity didn't last long as CEO of a company.

It's quite interesting that cash escapes such criticisms by virtue of simply not being a "system". Perhaps crypto will win this space after all.

Looks like the fish is the only one that's gone to market. Pretty clearly still early days. I have no doubt that with enough time we'll get there, but to say this is proof that we're technically good to go ahead and produce g
