A few of these, likely openai and anthropic, will IPO, and the early stage investors will get their cash back then. Others will crash, maybe also openai and anthropic. Other investors in smaller firms may get cash back when the companies ar

they pay very little tax and most of the cash is going into datacenters and electricity which provide very little long term employment. llms can do some amazing things but at the same time they’re setting mountains of cash on fire to nudify

After they showed up a year or two ago, I never saw a single person use them in the checkout line. Bad vibes, giving my biometrics to Amazon, and I think that's how most people felt

the market agrees for the most part. VR goggle interfaces just aren't taking the world by storm. When it came out I thought: I'll wait for the iteration that comes 2 years later (the AVP 3 or whatever) since by then they'll h

In 1998 if you could stick a jvm on it you called it the Java Thing. Java was hot hot hot. Hell, they named javascript after java for no reason at all except some syntactic family resemblance. It was the Java and XML era. Today they'd

Like clockwork every year or so someone emerges and says "I'm going to fix computing" and then it never happens. We're as mired in the status quo in computing as we are in politics, and I don't see any way out of it
