This is a actaully a government bailout of OpenAI. Investors gave it a bunch of money earlier knowing this was going to happen. Greg Brockman is a major Republican donor for 2026. Nice for OpenAI.

Europe doesn't care about onshoring the best AI in the world and possibly achieving AGI before everyone? That's a laughable assertion.

Good. I'd rather not have my favorite AI from a company working on AGI to have murder and spying in it's DNA. In fact, as a patriotic American veteran, I'd be ok with Anthropic moving to Europe. It might be better for Claude

They've got Grok but I guess it's not very good.

I'd really like to know why Grok is inadequate?

That's true. COBOL is pretty easy to read so language is not the problem. The project then becomes a rewrite and that's almost never a good idea. Perhaps in the future when AI can convert the software and verify the logic.

They're not reading the actual FCC document then, which says: Strategy: The move brings Tesla's sensor approach closer to competitors like Ford, GM, and Rivian, who utilize multi-modal systems (cameras plus radar) for their driver

Tesla is adding radar and I predict before long it will add LiDAR because that's the only way to get to Level 3, which is a requirement for moving forward in California https://www.fccidlookup.com/report/tesla-new-

> knowing why those things are there I'm pretty sure they're talking about converting COBOL to Python or Go and that is the benefit. That doesn't require knowing the architecture and system design. I'm not familiar wi

I agree with you because a new language faces the hurdle that there won't be enough training data in it for AI to become proficient with. On the other hand, suppose AI invents a bespoke DSL and emits a compiler for it. We could get man

People who think this is a "gotcha!" for Waymo are either not very well educated, not very smart, or both.

Fixed. That period was one char too long but I used an "&" instead of "and" to fix it.

My take is that with the modern availability of so many high quality films, we (I) no longer have patience to sit through a mediocre films. the opportunity cost is too high.

Elon Musk doesn't take any responsibility for this. It's our fault. "Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content." - Elon Musk Grok immersed

John Kenneth Galbraith says in his book The Great Crash 1929 that most knew it was heading for a fall, but everyone assumed they could get out before losing their money. Turns out the order system was over-whelmed so they couldn't get

Numbers don't lie if your instrumentation is measuring the contributions of new technology accurately. The productivity gains of middle managers using personal computers, often at home bought out of personal funds, didn't show up

I didn't say that so nice strawman. My point is C-suite executives are often wrong about new technology. They are inherently conservative.

Citibank and Merck exectives are the establishment. MS, Google are the providers. Microsoft became a trillion dollar company by selling software for personal computers, which establishment types at the time were skeptical of.

I particpated in the personal computer boom of the 1980's and remember mainframe guys who were the establishment saying the same thing about personal computers.

When I was a kid people often used the words "mulatto" and "midget" in a socially acceptable way. Now we say "mixed race" and "little people." I don't see these becoming stigmatized because they

Your statement would be accurate if Claude and Gemini had no memory system and each chat were fresh. I've been talking to Claude for two years so it knows quite a bit about me. Gemini less since they were late to add memory. Since your
