Demand AI and workslop is what you get. Workslop: polished-looking AI output that ends up dragging down productivity because it needs revision.

All of this is much more complex than just “big companies bad”. Small companies compete (they have no choice), big companies collude (because they can). AI isn't even profitable yet and the big players are already starting to collude

Western style capitalism is theoreticaly supposed to promote competition. In reality, what it ultimately promotes is collusion. This happens for one very obvious reason --- money. It is more profitable to collude than to compete. Collusion

"Good" as in "majority belief doesn't make it a reality". Just because the "majority" are scared doesn't mean the fear is justified.

Revolut may have just committed financial suicide. If they gave your private data to a pretend government agency without legal authorization, you should expect they will do the same for real government. In other words, don't expect any

The good news --- a majority thought Trump had the solution to our problems too. So what the majority thinks really isn't all that credible.

It sounds like "Connectivity Assist" should really be called "Ad Assist".

Time to wake up and smell the coffee --- PoW is not a reasonable basis for a practical currency --- or most other things. Security by inefficiency.

Haven't fraudsters heard about crypto? It's perfectly legal.

Most likely, OpenAI is working with Anthropic and Google to make it legally difficult if not impossible for others to provide AI services --- because their AI is unsafe and will kill us all.

Looming over everything discussed in the article is China. They are positioning themselves to dominate the AI market simply by offering comparable service for a fraction of the cost. A big factor here is the cost of energy --- as AI is very

In TV terminology, "smart" means built for the manufacturer, not the user. I am actually sort of becoming ok with this. As long as I can avoid the privacy invasion by running the TV in a disconnected "dumb" mode (typical

Patents are really a type of monopoly. The inventer is legally given monopoly control over a particular invention. This offers a pretty clear benefit to the inventor --- but costs everyone else by way of higher prices.

Yes, but --- using something they call "adjusted operating income". This is reportedly a sort of "Enron" accounting which excludes some really big expenses like revenue sharing, the cost of model training and hardware de

Any confusion is obviously yours --- "America First" is not only bad policy but also failed rhetoric that was blatantly ignored by the promoter in chief.

And the game continues. Anthropic just announced it's second "profitable" quarter using "adjusted operating income". This reportedly means they achieved this remarkable goal by excluding some really big expenses lik

I start with 2 new, "reliable" drives. After a couple of years, I replace one drive with a new one. Keep the removed drive to use for offline data backup. Run until failure or 5 years, which ever comes first. Then replace the ol

The issue comes down to people using internal biases labeling ideologies according to their own in group And I bet the thought never occurred to you that you just did exactly the same thing. There are very few true right-wing politi

Never use identical drives in a mirror. The same model is Ok but the exact same age is not. I always try to "engineer" a controlled failure by using one old and one new drive. But none of this can defeat human error.

Short answer is --- "Yes", hstory shows that reality has a liberal bias. Historically, "societies that waste human capacity through exclusion and conflict" end up poorer as a result. And the proof is smacking you up the

The idea that somehow Nvidia is financing the entire AI industry is laughable. Yes, it is --- and this is not something I said. This is an absurd extrapolation done by you. But there is no denying that Nvidia is investing billions in it&#

Who are you thinking of? All the "frontier" AI vendors are borrowing money to invest in AI (and buy from Nvidia). None of these Nvidia customers are actually making money from it. Anthropic and OpenAI are two cash burning machin

But the scale of the entire AI enterprise is massive. Yes --- and the scale of the money being set on fire is epic. And if/when the burning comes to a screeching halt, the resulting crash wil be likewise.
