Ironically, Apple stands apart from basically all of these trends. We will see if they profit or perish because of it.

You can get a 10 or 20 or 30 year old TV. They still work.

If you think that culture is strictly a matter of consumption this is a reasonable clap back, but it belies its own shallow premise

Oh I don’t necessarily mean that co-ops are competitive at all with traditional ownership structures at all. Part of that is likely due to taxes and general financial forces (co-ops tend to need to be low-debt, privately held, etc.) and par

I agree, and I agree with Deng’s hypothesis, at least insofar in that China’s maintenance of social benefits appears to be successful, and, importantly, it operates strictly without actual political freedom.

I think what they’re getting at with this is that markets can exist without some of nastier parts of capitalism (e.g. a co-op operates in a market economy) but so much of the prevailing wisdom (both positive and negative) about capitalism e

Isn’t that kind of thing (reliance on cliché) already a valid reason for getting marked down?

Why do you need proof anyway? Do you need proof that sentences are poorly constructed, misleading, or bloated? Why not just say “make it sound less like GPT” and let them deal with it?

I think this is pretty in-the-weeds compared to the original thread: > Economics is like a constrained optimization problem: how to allocate scarce resources given unlimited desires. Understanding the general tendencies of economic syste

Depending on how you feel about various theories of development, an argument that all of these categories reduce to time. At the very least, the relationship between labor, capital, and time seems pretty fundamental: labor cannot be instant

I agree that AWS/Amazon seems to be uniquely badly positioned to benefit at all from AI, while also being potentially screwed by AI companies failing.

I’m skeptical of any profit motive that would actually justify building self-mastery into AI, but then again, this is possibly just a reiteration of California ideology problems. As it turns out, technology can be massively transformative,

I agree, I think that AI is not some “new” thing - we’ve had machines for a long time, and we just so happened to invent really good ones. Similar to how the machine of the Industrial Revolution laid waste to the social order of the landed

Obviously we’re not ever going to see “infinite value”. I think it’s instructive to think of this on the margin or in terms of limits: would a putative AGI have an inflection point at which more of it produces less value, and even if it’s p

He has. He’s notably been burned a few times, one of the worst of which was 2021 TSLA. Iirc he was early but not wrong, with the 2022 collapse of all things ARKK related crashing and burning.

It’s actually extremely motivating to consider what LLM or similar AI agent could do for us if we were to free our minds from 2 decades of SaaS brainrot. What if we ran AI locally and used it to actually do labor-intensive things with compu

Zizek is a good reference here. What’s the word for it, interpassivity?

I think it’s pretty obvious but most people would prefer a regular schedule not a random and potentially psychologically jarring transportation event to start the day.

I think you’re right - some people will gamble no matter what, but removing all barriers to entry and advertising it on ESPN will certainly grow that market much more than people actively seeking out betting in shady places online. It’s sim

That’s assuming Altman is sincerely going to keep trying to develop “AGI” and not try to turn OpenAI into a profitable business. You don’t need AI researchers if you get good enough video generation and pornbots to become immortally wealthy

Was thinking about this today. I had to do a simple wedding planning task - setting up my wedding website with FAQ, cobbling the guest list (together from texts, photos of my father’s address book, and excel spreadsheets), directions and ad

That’s my core comment here. Batteries already have to fight a lot of entropy, don’t make it harder than you need to

A lot of BESS enclosures (sub grid scale, and grid scale) are much more primitive than a warehouse. If you don’t need to pay for HVAC, it’s free money for the operator.

Sure, but you don’t need AI to automate computer work. You can make a career out of formalizing the kinds of excel-jockeying that people do for reports or data entry

This is correct, it should burn the retinas of anyone thinking that OAI or Anthropic are in any way worth their multi-billion dollar valuations. I liked AK’s analysis of AI for coding here (it’s overly defensive, lacks style and functionali

Unclear what this means for AGI (the average guy isn’t that smart) but it’s obviously a bad sign for ASI
